Thank God for college. It was my ticket out of the small town and everything that reminded me of him.

Keep my attention on the engagement and off my ex.

Sweet.
Lovable.

Absolutely freaking fantastic!!!
I could not get enough of this book. I was engrossed in this love story from the first page. Love everything about it. Yes, there is cheating going on but that just added more to this complicated love story. I loved the witty comebacks, the drama, the suspense, the hotness going on and all the feels too.
I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.
This author is new to me and I’m so glad I found her because I will be reading more from this author for sure.
Full of angst, heartbreaking and make you feel different range of emotions
Usually and normally I do not go for the books where the story is based around not being faithful. But the fact this author written a book convinced me to read it anyway. And I’m not sorry. The subject is not an easy one and the heroine and hero and their actions are not very adult and they are hypocrites but hey, at least this story is very close to the real life where the things described in the course of the plot are really happening. It is not uncommon. The world and people’s lives are not black and white and it is easy to judge staying in the sides but no one knows what would do unless to face such situation. This is the story about the heartbreak about hard choices, forbidden feelings and forgiveness. So much hurt, so much angst, so much of lost time and broken relationships just because someone said that your best friend’s sister is off limits and that this or that action requires you choose between people you love and do not want to lose.
I loved how it was written, how angst and tension was build up and how it all unravelled at the end. For sure I will read more books of this author in the future.
Couldn’t put it down! Wow! This book kept me wanting more. I read it in less than 24 hours and was consumed. McKenna isn’t perfect by any means, but who is? What her and Colton go through is real life. Her heart was confused but in the end, she followed it right where it was always meant to be. A second chance romance by an amazing author.
McKenna & Colton have a sort of secret past. Due to Colton being McKenna’s brothers best friend they kept their relationship under wraps as big brother would have made mincemeat out of Colton for messing with his sister.
Their ending broke McKenna’s heart and she has stayed away for 4 years. She’s now back home to get married and she thinks that she can handle seeing Colton and it not affect her.
There is a slow, quickly turning into an inferno sexual tension build between these two and you enjoy the push and pull as they try their best to not give into their desires since McKenna is to be married.
When it’s someone that you have wanted for most of your life it’s hard to think logically when your body is on fire every time you see them.
The beginning and middle of the book was great as you got more insight into their past and how things ended up the way they were. However the author drug the story on much longer than it needed to. The hot and cold after a bit just started dousing the fire and it got really repetitive after a while and my interest waned.
Spoiler alert if you are not fine with cheating then this book is not for you.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I can’t, I just can’t finish this book. McKenna is not my kind of heroine. She is just the worse. She made a decision that I would never agree with, then compounds it by sneaking around and not being truthful. When she made that decision, I just gave up. I didn’t care or want to finish the book. She’s angry at her father and won’t forgive him and yet it’s ok for her to do the same thing? What a hypocrite!
