5 Star Review
This
book was ah-mazing!! I didn't want to put it down. It was
a long book, but didn't feel long. I am happy and sad that this
book ended. Sad because I have to wait for book two and happy
that I get more Tara, Riley and Cole.
Tara
is trying to find herself after a two year long relationship that
didn't go well. She was always told she wasn't good enough.
She needed to find herself and where she belonged in life. She
was instantly attracted to Cole when she sees him. Though she doesn't
know his name her and her best friend Kelli, called him Mr. Hotbod.
She was embarrassed to talk with him after Kelli and her big
mouth. She then meets Riley through Kelli and her boyfriend Cooper.
She wants him and feels drawn to him, but doesn't know if she
can handle a long distance relationship. She has issues with
trust and doesn't think she can handle constantly wondering what is
happening. Will she give Riley a chance? Or does she open up to
Mr. Hotbod?
Riley
is content with his life. He doesn't need a girl since his
girlfriend broke him. He is shocked by the connection he feels
for Tara the moment he meets her. He doesn't want to push her
because he feels she is special and wants a chance to get to know
her. He knows it won't be easy having a long distance
relationship, but knows it will be worth it. Can her convince
her to give him a shot?
Cole
is a manwhore. Always with a different girl and never gives a
girl a second time. He is happy the way his life is going.
Until he meets Tara and she turns his life upside down. Making
him want things he shouldn't. Will he have his chance at Tara?
Or does his manwhore ways scare her off?
This
is an intense book. It had me on the edge of my seat hoping for
things to happen or not to happen. I really LOVE Riley. He
was so sweet and charming. Though he wasn't perfect, but who
is?
Now
I had a lot of issues with Cole, but by the end of the book he had me
rooting for him.
I
am so torn with who I want Tara to end up with. I think that I
will always be Team Riley. I cannot wait for book two so I can
see what happens between all these people.
I
loved all the secondary characters also. Jason, Marcus, Jay,
Kelli and Cooper. I really would like to see a book on all of
them. This is a definite MUST read book. I think Lisa
Edwards did an amazing job drawing emotions out of me and making me
feel like I was in the story.
