Emmett
Do. Not. Touch.
Alice Ryder came with more warning signs than a museum exhibit.
Under twenty-one. Best friend’s baby sister. Heart-broken.
I was only supposed to keep an eye on her and keep my hands to myself.
But her sunshine sucked me in.
Why did she have to want me? Why did she have to want me to save her?
I wasn’t her savior. I wasn’t the prince in her fairytale.
I was only the asshole in shining armor.
Ally
For some, heartbreak becomes a habit.
Losing so much had taught me that it’s easier to just give up the things you care about before they are taken.
Because you can’t lose what you don’t have.
I gave up the warmth of the sun and sand hoping that the cold, snowy mountains of Colorado would be able to numb whatever feelings I had left and bury the pieces of my heart under the frost.
And then I met Emmett Jameson - the King of the Mountain and my brother’s best friend.
He was cold and controlling - treating me like the child that I wasn’t.
He was everything that promised to break what was left of me.
And I needed him for it.
My shattered heart would be safe wanting someone like him.
Then again, heartbreak was my bad habit.

This is my first read by this author. She did a fantastic job grabbing my attention and wanting to learn more about these characters. This is the second book of the series but I had no trouble reading it without reading the first one.
Emmett......sigh.... I am a sucker for the broken hero. Such an a$$ to everyone. He is tolerated. His one night stands love him. His best friends know some of his secrets. But, man, are his walls up high. He doesn't want anyone to get to the the good, squishy stuff hiding deep inside. He is bound and determined to keep his best friends baby sister, Ally, outside of his toxic bubble. He pours on the a$$ho!@ anytime he is around her. Their chemistry is off the charts!
Ally has her own demons to conquer but she is so intrigued and and the same time disgusted by Emmett. It's a continual push-pull, angst filled relationship with these two. Emmett calls Ally Sunshine. In the end, can she be enough to bring out his darkness??
Interesting flow to the story. Flash back mixed with present day. I'm not sure I would have handled things that way vs a straight timeline. But, it reads well. Lots of emotion. Way hot chemistry with these two. Great secondary characters. Overall, a great story.
