Life hasn’t been kind to Harper Evans.
The small-town gossip about her dead dad and drug-addicted mother has taken its toll. But when her mother is admitted to a long-term rehab facility a few hours away, Harper sees her chance for a fresh start.
A shoebox apartment above a Chinese restaurant isn’t exactly the escape she dreamed of, but she makes it work. With limited funds and no social life, she views her new city through a dusty old pair of binoculars.
There’s no harm in looking.
Just a peek and I’ll stop.
Harper finds her new pastime quickly turning into a full-fledged obsession. She begins falling for a man she doesn’t know—has never met—as she watches him have sex through the window of his apartment. Daydreaming about what it would be like if she were one of his conquests.
We all reach a point when watching isn't enough—when we can no longer just be a spectator in our own life. That's when it's supposed to get good, right? When we take control and go after what we want. But what happens when it all blows up in our face and we’re left with less than nothing?
What then?
This is one of those books that you pick up to read the
first chapter and then find yourself still immersed three hours later. In fact
I read it in one sitting. The beginning was so atmospheric and intense and
SCORCHINGLY HOT!
Both main characters, Luke and Harper have been though
traumatic times but each find a way to cover their demons, Luke with sex and
Harper with ice cream (and binoculars!)
The storyline was pretty intense and intriguing from the
start and I loved that Luke was this kind of an enigma character that had me yearning
for more. When the two finally meet it is through a surprising link the two
share. I loved the build up to their explosive first connection and you could
feel the tension and chemistry overtaking the read. However the second half of
the book took a different avenue and for me it wasn’t as deep and alluring as
the first half.
Overall though an original and emotional read that had me
invested and engaged throughout. Yes there were some questions left unanswered
about secondary characters which would have been better to have answered rather
than leaving hanging. However for me the first half of this book was a ten star
but the last half let it down somewhat so for me this is a four star overall.
Loved it though!
