We are introduced to Luke Hardy and Callie who do nothing but argue and have wore on each other\u2019s nerves for the past year.<\/p>\n<p>Luke owns the bar where Callie\u2019s BFF works and Callie is a writer who had been spending her time trying to find her perfect man via internet dating which drives Luke crazy. After all this time these two butting heads they finally give into what they both really want and hook up and both start to open up to each other. WOW I never saw those past coming. To say I\u2019m shocked about Luke\u2019s past is an understatement. I love Callie for sticking to her guns and morals. I love that they take things slow and get to know one another before taking things to the next step until Luke can get his situation figured out.<\/p>\n<p>Then Holy crap when Callie gets the job at the news paper and she finds out what she does and then does what she does gives me so much more respect for her but breaks my heart for what she loses. She has lost so much in her life and now to lose more was a punch in the gut. To see her so sad was just heartbreaking. I do have to say I loved how Luke supported her and praised her something she never received before. My favorite line in the book is when Luke is describing Callie because he could so be describing me to a T. I absolutely loved Luke\u2019s mom, brother Tyler and Callies BFF Avery.\u00a0 I cannot wait to see more of Tyler and Avery..OK I really hope we see more of Tyler and Avery.<\/p>\n<p>A few of my favorite lines:<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m convinced Callie could talk under water.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly you love both county music and heavy metal; and you prefer to support indie artists rather than mainstream. You don\u2019t back down easily when you\u2019re passionate about something or believe you\u2019re right, but you will begrudgingly admit when you\u2019re wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m like a dazed teenager around you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019m like a fucking horny teenager when I\u2019m around you, Callie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no harm in asking for what you want, Luke. It\u2019s time you started putting yourself first. Live a little. God knows life flies by so fast that if we don\u2019t make ourselves happy while we have the chance, we\u2019ll grow old in a puddle of regret.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"about the author\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d.gr-assets.com\/authors\/1455855746p5\/7276454.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nina Levine\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><br class=\"clear\" \/> <span id=\"freeTextContainerauthor7276454\">ESCAPE WITH AN ALPHA<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USA Today Bestselling Author Nina Levine is an Aussie author who writes alphas with a side of dirty and sassy women who don&#8217;t hand their hearts over easily.<\/p>\n<p>When she isn&#8217;t creating with words, she loves to create with paint and paper.
