4 STARS
I would not say there was anything extraordinary about the story itself...troubled girl leaves home despite her parents disapproval, moves to a new place to "start over"...meets her "bad boy", tries to avoid and resist him...only holds out for so long before lust and love wins. The difference in this book is the writing!! I couldn't stop reading!! The emotions the writing brings out in me is what is so fantastic!!! I am always saying, I have no idea what makes a good author, I just know how the story makes me feel and if I am feeling what the character is feeling that is what makes it a great read to me!
A cute story. Avery moves to a new town, enrolls in college she is forbidden to go to, trying to hide from a past that has not only found her again after 5 years, but is now harassing her.
Enter Cameron (Cam)...of course he's tall, dark and steamy!! He's also smart, witty, patient and most importantly...he can cook and bake!!!!! ;) He goes to the same college and seems to have a past of his own. I say "cute story" because I love the cat and mouse game she is playing with him, BUT he wasn't giving up. The banter and "friendship" they created was cute. [I hate to compare books, and I mean this in a good way, but the beginning reminded me of Walking Disaster] Clearly he was very into her but she just wasn't seeing or admitting to herself that this was happening. That this hot, fantastic, hot, funny, hot, sweet, did I mention HOT man is interested in her! I have to admit I was about to strangle her if she didn't say yes soon!!!! When she finally did I could let out a breath. Talk about an awkward first date!! I was embarrassed for her awkwardness LOL!! I love how their relationship progressed, I was just frustrated with her that although she said she trusted him, she was still holding back her past!
The ending was slightly predictable, but there were parts that I wasn't necessarily expecting that made it interesting. I definitely feel that Avery gets closure from her past and her HEA, which she so deserves.
There were small parts that I didn't care for, but the great writing made me forget about that very easily and made me just want to keep reading. I see there is a sequel Trust in Me, told in Cam's POV. I will definitely look for it when it comes out in Oct 2013!
Sorry if I seem a bit contradictory on this one...it happens!
