TW: domestic abuse
"Lily hasn’t always had 
it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she
 wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she 
grew up— she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started 
her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon
 named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too
 good to be true.
Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a 
little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft 
spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. 
Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to 
relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the 
exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made 
him that way in the first place.
As questions about her new 
relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan — her first
 love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit,
 her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built
 with Ryle is threatened."--Goodreads blurb
This was my first Hoover book and honestly, I WANTED to love it. It fell totally short for me, which I know puts me in the minority. I was expecting to be blown away by the story considering how much hype I've read over Hoover online. Her dialogue was great and the story did keep me interested, but it just didn't do it for me. I will try Hoover again, though.
 

 
If you want to try hoover again, you should try Verity. My book club just finished it and it was twisty.
