Synopsis: 

For the last year, Emma Owens has been quietly detached from everything and everyone. Desperate to escape the demons that chased her out of her hometown, she’s learned that life here in Milwaukee is just less complicated and less tragic when it’s a one-woman show.

In the span of one week, everything about her carefully orchestrated solitude comes crashing down. Then again, she can’t really ignore the scratching coming from her patio door or the hungry, pleading grey eyes reflecting in the moonlight. Those four little white paws and that tiger-striped fur thaws some of the ice keeping her heart on lockdown and she’s attached before she knows what hits her. Emma doesn’t have any better luck ignoring another pair of eyes, and her new neighbor, Finn Matthews, with his shy persistence and a painful past of his own, slowly chips away at the rest of the ice trapping Emma in her insecurities and her loneliness. Taking a chance on her new roommate and her next-door neighbor opens a door she’d previously slammed shut: the door to a new lease on life and the right to forgive, to fight back, and to heal. And the craziest part about it? It all started with a stray cat. She was lost...and he found her.

Review Rating: 4.5 stars
Emma left her home town because of the demons. She is now in Milwaukee working at a diner. Emma gets home and gets a text right away from Noah, she regrets giving him her schedule. She finds out from her neighbor that they are going to be getting new neighbors. Emma comes home from work to find a big truck blocking the way to the building. Later she is sitting by her screen door talking to her cat, there was a knock at her door and it was her neighbor inviting her over to the tailgate and house warming party. She doesn't like to go out, she would much rather be home and listening to music, watching TV and talking to her cat. Finn and Slinger's party was very loud and she wasn't happy about that because all the noise got her cat to run off, what she didn't expect was that Finn would catch him and bring him back. 

Emma runs her own blog, she hasn't been back to where she grew up in a long time, doesn't have a good relationship with her mother, she is very quiet.She lost her father when she was 10 years old. Finn is Emma's neighbor, he works as the accountant and marketer at Matthews Brewery Co. His family owns this business. Marshall's roommate. Marshall aka Slinger is Finn's roommate he is the bartender/manager of the tap at Matthews Brewery Co. Noah is Emma's older brother, will do anything to protect Emma, he is married to Cristina and he is going to be a father. Cristina is Emma's sister in law, she is Puerto Rican. She is also very nice person and she doesn't want to see Emma hurt. Max is Finn's dad, he runs the Matthews Brewery Co. with his brother. Mara is Emma's friend, works with Emma. Always invites her places when she knows that she is going to be turned down. 

This is my first book by K Ryan and I can honestly say that this book will not be my last. I loved this story it's very well written and the characters are very well developed.
