Coming home to London, Tallulah is looking for a second chance, a fresh start. Her friends know something is wrong, but they have no idea what's she's running from.
Tallulah is not herself. The usually happy, bubbly excitable girl is faking it. Inside, she's a complete mess but she refuses to tell anyone why, choosing to keep it a secret, a secret that makes her skin crawl and leaves her crying herself to sleep.
She tells herself she'll be okay. That she can cope. She can forget about how damaged she is, forget what she's run away from. She's fighting to hold it together.
When she meets Jarrod, he's everything she's ever wanted. He's a hot, suited, motorbike riding, boss with a soft heart.

A great read
Damaged Intimacy was a great read. The storyline was really good and I just loved the characters. This was a quick novella and although I did have a hard time getting into it at first, once it kicked in I could not put it down.
Jarrod was a dream come true; the perfect guy. Tallulah had so much going on in her life and didn’t know how to deal with it, I did feel for her. These two have chemistry but Tallulah has emotions that keeps her from having any kind of relationship with a man. She had become extremely close to her best friends, boyfriends best friend. But she has made Jarrod promise nothing will happen between the two; because of a huge secret that she has not told anyone.
This is my first read by Hanleigh Bradley. That ending has me wanting more! I cannot wait for book two so I can find out what happens with Tallulah and Jarrod.
