Caroline Whitmore is cunning, inconsiderate, and ruthless.

Despite that, I can’t recall a day that’s gone by when I haven’t thought about her at least once.
On paper, we’re a perfect match—Only on paper.

In real life, we’re a disaster.
She hates me. Hates the way I dress, everything I say—my basic existence.

But what I hate is more complicated.
Because I’m a moth to a gorgeous, petite, brunette flame.

I hate that I still remember what she wore the day we sat together in sixth grade.

And that I would move mountains for her smile.

I hate every guy that gets too close.

And that one of them gets to stay.

I hatethat I want her so bad that I used my best friend to make her jealous.

But most of all, I hate that Caroline Whitmore is the one that got away.

This book was amazing. Five Carebear Stars ***** If I could give it more than five stars, I would.

Caroline is a complete bitch and is someone that had a lot of walls up and to see her break her walls down and show her vulnerabilities and see her fall for Liam was beautiful and real, she also felt relatable.

Liam is a sweetheart, a people pleaser and wants his father to accept him for what he wants out of life his feelings for Caroline made this book, he’s definitely a book boyfriend.
This book had all the feels with beautiful raw moments, I can’t wait to see the next one. This is only the second book, what will happen in the next one?

One moment. A single decision… an accident.
Cost me six years of my life.
All of my hopes and dreams vanished.

Until I was given back my freedom and the opportunity to start over… doing whatever I could to survive in a world much different than the one I knew before.

I was working on my degree and waiting tables when my fate changed.
An older man with silver hair and a fancy suit walked in, looking like he wanted to save me.
He came for pie. But he offered me a job.

When I turned him down, he sent his son, Hudson.
The arrogant, sex on a stick wore me down.
I took the job.
I accepted his friendship.
And slowly, over time, I began to feel things for this man I knew I shouldn’t.

They gave me a home.
A family.
And then it was all ripped away.

Now nothing can erase all the ugly things.

This was a book that took me on an emotional roller coaster. As soon as read the synopsis I knew that I wanted to read it because it sounded so amazing and it was more than I had expected.

Now that she’s out she doesn’t know what to do with her life. Her backstory is just heartbreaking, I just wanted to hug her. That is until she bumps into Hudson Valentine, for the life of her figure out why someone like Hudson would want to help someone that is an ex-convict?
This is only the first book but I’m just dying to know what happens in the second one. This book felt real, raw and pulled at your heartstrings. I have to say that this is one of my top books of the year.
