I thoroughly enjoyed this book that centres around the very difficult subject of rape. Reed is a successful unattainable 2nd in command. Shona is his ideal woman, she flushes every time she sees him with want. Reeds sister Danni is raped & Reed spirals, Shona wants to help & gradually they begin seeing each other but Reed has a secret that he's not willing to share - something so dark he cannot bring himself to recall.The main four characters in this book interact beautifully, although Shona' s business in her pursuit of Reed is occasionally irritating. You have the male friend bond with Nic which tests all limits of friendship. the roles of big brother protector, a woman trying to overcome rape & start trusting a man again.lots to get get your teeth into! This book was part of a blog tour I was given a copy for my honest reviewReed had a horrible childhood and has spent his life taking care of his little sister when she is sexually assaulted he fears she will never recover or remember things from their childhood. At work he can escape this turmoil and see the Sophia the women he has wanted for three years. Sophia has a thing for men with problems, when the last guy she dates shows up on her doorstep with his new wife she vows to never date a guy with a bad past. She thinks Reed is the perfect guy he seems so normal, when everything starts to fall apart Sophia finds out Reed has many ghosts. Can Reed tell Sophia his secrets? Can she accept everything thing he has to tell her and help him get past it? I really liked this book, the turmoil and angst that Reed feels is heartbreaking. When he is with Sophia it's like those bad feeling disappear. Sophia irritated me a little bit at the beginning, but as the story progressed and she began to see what love really was she changed. Even though I knew something was coming, it still made me cry and I just wanted to give the couple a hug. Kiss It Better is a great read for romance fans who like their heroes a little bit broken and heroines who are strong enough to help fix them.
What do You think about Kiss It Better (2013)?
Would love to hear the story of Nic and Danni!!
