One week. No strings. Sexy stranger. What could go wrong?
My name is Julia McDowell. I’m not the pretty girl next door, I’m the boss at work who solves all your problems. I’m an awkward genius with the worst taste in boyfriends; the last one left me with a 6-figure debt to prove it.
So, when the most swoon-worthy man alive saves me from a psychotic tree, who am I to say no to a drink? He’s sweet yet powerful with a darkness I can’t place. I should be terrified of him, but I find myself drawn to him in ways I’ve never experienced. He says I’m his guiding light, that our hearts beat to the same melody. But I’m not looking for forever, and he has his own demons to slay.
We agreed to one week, no strings. It will have to be enough. It’s definitely enough, more than enough, until it’s not.
I’m ready to throw our one-week rules out the window when tragedy pulls us apart. It would take a miracle to find our way back to each other, and life is no fairytale. With no happily ever after in sight, will our hearts learn a new rhythm? Or will heartache become our new theme song?

I was super excited for Trevor and Julia's story. A one night stand week, two lost souls who can't find each other and a second chance to have it all. But will the obstacles of their past stop them from the second chance at happiness they both deserve?
Since loosing his mother many years ago, Trevor has decided that he picks his family and the people that are important to him. A wonderful man who is always their for his friends the best way he can. Doing what he can to bring down the people that have altered his life so drastically.
Julia is a beautiful and smart woman who has been used in the past. She is cautious with her emotions and sharing them. This small town girl gets a little bit in her head sometimes and her filters are almost non existent but that is part of her charm.
Though I enjoyed the story, I felt the middle dragged on a little bit with parts that series readers have already known. I understand it is hard when the books overlap like these two do. I wish we had have had a little more on the couple after reconnection, as this part felt a little rushed to the end for me. It was great to get a bit more of some secondary characters and I am excited for what is to come next.
