Years after breaking the heart of the only man he's ever loved, Adrian runs into Matías again. Only now? Matías is his new boss. Adrian has to decide if this is fate giving him a second chance at happiness and if so, if he's strong enough to make the right choice this time.  

At first I was really feeling for young Matías. In college he was so patient and understanding, willing to be a secret and wait for Adrian. But present day Matías frustrated me a bit because I wanted him to make Adrian work for it more. Adrian left him with a pretty crappy break up and Matías just lets him waltz right back in, only giving him a few passive aggressive comments. I would not be as nice. Adrian was fine, and while I understood his excuse for breaking up with Matías, I think the way he went about it and then staying away for so long was a little weak. I did like his character growth when Matías came back into his life. He finally came to the point where he realized he had to take charge of his future and make what he wanted a priority, including Matías. 

I wish we got more moments of them falling in love in the past. I didn't mind the flashbacks but the emotions didn't hit me as hard with the few glimpses. It never felt like they broke up for as long as they did because the second they reunited they picked up right where they left off. While we don't get a lot of them falling for each other initially, they do have crazy chemistry that jumps off the page. There was no way they were staying apart, the pull they have to each other is just so strong. 

While I didn't find the characters particularly endearing, I did find them entertaining. There's a lot of drama and the spicy parts were done really well. I don't mind cheating in books and I liked how the wife was never made into an evil character. She had her own issues but she also wasn't actively trying to destroy anyone's lives. The dad on the other hand, he can give whatever cliché sob story he wants but I didn't really care what excuse he had. The book has a lot of things going for it - short, face paced chapters and a decently intriguing story. While it's not one of my favorites, I do love books that give me a lot of things to have opinions about.
