Review:
This book was written differently than what I’m used to. It was hard to get into at first because of it. However, the social issues in this book made it worth the read. Expectations, stereotypes, putting people down because of what they look on the outside, seeing them for who they are on the inside. Linc was a really great character. There were so many elements to him. He didn’t always say the right things, but that’s human nature. In the end, he made this book. His and Alexis’s relationship development felt more real than what I read in most books. There was a lot of work moving forward, no easy love-at-first sight. Alexis was plagued by her own self-doubt for that. Again, the social issues made this book worth the read. It’s eye-opening.

Author Bio:
Alexandria Sure is from Michigan and adores her supportive family, her two rescue pups, and her mighty Spartans. Her coffee obsession leads her to writing in local coffee shops where characters come alive between salted caramel lattes and large cups of "cold brew extra cream two Splenda," which are usually on the counter when she walks in because the baristas know her car. (Thanks, Biggby!) When she is not writing, she spends a great deal of her time perfecting her craft. She is an active member of Capital City Writers Association and attends several writing conferences each year. Sure's first novel, Before Him Comes Me, is an unconventional romance of self-discovery, described by readers as "the first BDSM book with no sex."
