About this audiobook
Kyle Sterling is Emmy's boss and the biggest jerk she knows. He's abrasive, uptight, and selfish. When Emmy sleeps with Kyle after a night of drinking, she quickly tries to put the mistake behind her. When the duo is snowed in together over a long weekend, Emmy begins to discover there is more to Kyle than his mean-spirited behavior. Unfortunately, Kyle has a steady girlfriend he is unwilling to break up with.
Moving on and putting that long weekend behind her, Emmy starts dating attorney Luke Kessler. Luke treats Emmy with kindness, reverence, and loves her unconditionally. He is everything Emmy should ever want in a man-sexy, intelligent, successful, and funny, with strong family bonds. He is definitely everything her loudmouthed, overly opinionated mother could ever want for her. Even as their relationship takes off, Emmy is finding Kyle hard to shake. He aggressively pursues her, blatant in his feelings and desire for her. When Emmy succumbs to her hidden feelings for Kyle without setting Luke free, devastating consequences ensue.
Addicted to Kyle, unable to purge him from her life, Emmy's once easygoing life is now on a path of destruction. Will she let go of this man before it's too late? Is Luke's love truly unconditional? Will Emmy ever recover from accidentally on purpose falling for two men at the same time?

Updated review 3/24/13.
This is a great book and I was shocked when I was encouraged to read this by maryse.net, but she was right. This book is phenomenal. The books synopsis does not give the book justices. The...Wow! I think I will have to read it again!
Once you read this book you will understand everything that was said below.
Things I have learned from this book, in no specific order:
Horses would be jealous
I love to drink
Snow days are great as an adult
Never drink and drive, always drink and walk, lol
Some people with wealth do not show their wealth at all.
Affairs are hot with a boss and a Lawyer.
Babies bring some families together but love at first sight is what makes a relationship
Sometimes it takes awhile to be strong. Letting go of ourself (demons/ family issues and self-worth issues) and vices (alcohol) in the beginning maybe unusually like going on a date at 9am.
Once you read this book you will understand everything that was said above. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book definetly had its moments.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I am so torn on this book. I like it, but well...it made me SO mad!
The heroine hates her boss...then they meet in a bar after work, end up having sex and fall in love. Even though really, it doesn't seem like he has done anything to become lovable. He tells her he has been in love with her for ages, yet he treats her like crap. We find out later why he is such an ass... which doesn't really make it make any more sense.
Emma is a wreck. I didn't really get a clear view of why she was so willing to screw up her life. Usually there is an underlying issue with someone that will lead them to continue to make horrible choices. With Emma, she seemed put together, and then just goes and screws up over and over. Choosing an abusive, distant, uncaring man over a man that clearly loves her and drinking like a fish constantly. Was she ever not drunk?
I appreciated that in the end, she pulled herself together and redeemed herself, but it was a long time to get there. A long, frustrating time. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/54 shaky stars. This book had me shocked but not in a good way. Things were going so well then *BAM* I was given a smack in the face that left me I feeling so angry in the end that my whole review has to be a spoiler alert!
The ending was a giant cop out!!! I didn't buy it! Kyle being on meth as an explanation was shoved down our throats. There was never any indication but it seemed as though Emmy knew this all along!!?? I'll admit Kyle was a moody jerk at work but that's not unusual. Yes, he did have a bit of an anger issue. Yes, he was too weak to stand up to his girlfriend and family but did he have to be a druggie?? It doesn't make sense! Emmy was weak especially the way she handled Kyle in the end! Luke would have been better off without her IMO. She doesn't really love Luke in the forever kind of way and I think she would have still chosen Kyle eventually if she hadn't gotten knocked up twice by Luke!
I would have respected the story more if Emmy's choice was a little harder to make but of course who would pick a violent drug addict over a nice guy who is the father of your children... I probably would have still picked Kyle at the end...oh well - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wow! That's pretty much all I can say right now. This story is so many things; funny, sweet at times, heartbreaking at others. There of course is the love triangle which is one of my favorite plots. There is a bit of suspense involving Kyle and there is also a great love story in there as well.
Emmy is a complicated woman. She is smart, beautiful, resourceful and a spitfire. She can be snarky yet sweet. Sometimes she shows how much she cares about people and at others she can be selfish. She is strong and yet has so many weaknesses. Her relationship with her mother is on one hand comic relief throughout most of the book and at the same time sad. In other words Emmy is very real and I both loved and hated her.
Possible Spoiler Kyle is the most complicated of the characters to me because my opinion of him changed so much throughout the story. At one point I loved him and then I have to be honest I hated him. I am truly not sure if he ever redeems himself in my eyes for the bad things he does.
I fell in love with Luke and wanted nothing more than for him and Emmy to fall madly in love and live happily ever after! There were times in the beginning where I was a bit suspicious of him and then at times his coldness made me sad but all in all I loved him.
This book goes from humorous to serious and heartbreaking to dark and then back again. It gives us a look at both love and lust, obsession and addiction as well as self destruction and healing. And although this is a story of a woman torn between the love of two men, what it really shows us is the importance of loving yourself.
