Kyra Aberdeen is a Youtube sensation. Her bubbling personality and fresh beauty capture the hearts of millions each week through her videos. But she’s just faking it. Because beneath the surface is a simmering darkness that threatens to pull Kyra under some days. She masks her depression with a sunny smile and bright laugh.
When Kyra moves to Canaan Island and buys her deceased mother’s … mother’s childhood home, she is hoping to confront the lurking darkness that haunts her every step. But life never goes according to plan, and when Kyra meets her grumpy contractor, Hale Cooper, it seems he’s not going to make things any easier for her. Yet Kyra is drawn to him, to a man whose every emotion plays across his face as he feels it. But she’s never let herself get too close to anyone before, and she finds herself in uncharted waters.
If she lowers her guard and allows herself to love Hale, will the darkness creep in too?

This book hits lots of emotions, some of them are hard to handle. Ms Collett gives insight to the emotional problems that many people face and lets you see the raw emotions of the person.
A predictable cheesy romance. It started out good, but then it was clear exactly where the story was going. Once again, a girl falls in love with a guy who is a jerk. Blah blah
I enjoyed this book so much that I couldn’t resist buying the sequels! Fun read with interesting characters.
