What happens when the only girl you’ve ever lusted comes crashing back into the picture? Nothing. Don’t misconstrue. The last time I saw Ava, she was no doubt attractive. Although she’s always been a little nerdy, and her head rarely left the inside of a book, she could garner the attention of any hot-blooded male she feigned an interest in – myself included. Just one flash of her killer smile … flash of her killer smile and I wanted to drop to my knees and kiss her feet. But a lot has changed since Ava left town with a flood of tears streaming down her face.
Circumstances change.
People change.
I’ve changed.
I’m no longer a teenage boy who can’t control himself around a beautiful girl. I’m a grown man. A man who has done two tours in Afghanistan. A man who has no troubles controlling himself around beautiful women. A man who can still remember the sweet taste of her lips.
What the hell? I’m screwed.

Loved the book it was great to see, the story was well written and the characters were interesting. The chemistry between between Ava and Hugo is intense but will they admit to each other. It was like a rollercoaster ride of emotions good and bad things happen.

This is book five in the Enigma series. This is part one of Hugo and Ava’s story. Ava is a book worm gal, a little on the nerdy side and she is attracted to her best friend’s older brother, Hugo. She let town six years earlier and now she is back. Seeing Hugo again, all those warm fuzzy feelings are there and possibly stronger. Hugo is not the same guy he was six years ago, he has grown up and has served his country for two tours to Afghanistan. Is a second shot at a HEA in the cards for these two? This story is told from both characters and it flips from past to present to give you the complete picture including all the emotional ups and downs. This author truly has a gift for storytelling, creating perfectly imperfect characters and giving the reader the roller coaster ride of the their life. Reading this author’s work is an experience because after a page or two, you are hooked. Fate works in mysterious ways and the journey is not always linear. Enjoy!

Wow! I’m like gobsmacked. I’m reading along this great romance story with a little roller coaster ride then all of a sudden there are 2 big huge unexpected drops. With tears in my eyes and an open mouth, I’m like OMG!! I so wasn’t expecting that. And to top it off, the ride stops at the top or bottom I’m not sure which, but what a cliffhanger!
A fastpaced pageturner that held me captive from the start. I love the storyline and the characters. Will definitely check out the next book in this series.

Hugo’s story will have you smiling and crying. Eva and Hugo practically grew up together. She was his sister’s best friend and they spent a lot of time together over the years. He was popular and outgoing. She was nerdy and a little more introverted. Her parents were super strict . She had a crush and he had a crush. They never really acted on it until Hugo’s 18th birthday party. Six years later after a tour a Afghanistan and college they see each other again. They can’t fight fate and things start to work in their favor. When tragedy strikes, their love is tested. Hugo disappears and Ava is endangered. We are left with a mystery……

Hugo’s story takes us back to five years ago so we get to know more of the man we fell in love with in the first 4 Enigma books.
Ava is the beautiful girl next door.
Their story is captivating and concludes in the next book!
I loved this book it was fantastic and now to start the next one!
These stories of Hugo and Ava, Hawke and Jorgie had me laughing, crying, sighing and a few pants in between. Shandi Boyes creates a world that you can dive into and get lost into the characters lives as if they are people you know in real life! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! It’s so worth the time to read both books!
