Sometimes you just need to get away from it all and grab a sweet little romance book. One that promises a happy ever after somewhere along the way; that is easy to read without a whole lot of drama. That is exactly what I needed and found in this new release I was able to review. It is the perfect addition to fill that reader!

Some things can never be fixed…
Nothing feels right. Not since my best friend died and I screwed up the one promise he asked me to make. The past follows me everywhere, tangling me up like weeds, reminding me that my life is empty. So goddamn empty.
Then she walks into the bar, all bright beauty and sweet lips made for kissing.
Em Stewart is a complication…one I need to avoid. She’s got heavy secrets of her own, ones she hides from her friends—and lies about to herself.
No matter how hard I try, I can’t resist her, and our unexpected road trip sure as hell isn’t helping my cause. But I’ll be damned if I screw up my first chance at something real…

My Thoughts:
This ebook was different from what I was expecting. For me, that is a good thing. I love it when an author steps away from the safe route and adds in a bit of spark and stirs the pot a bit in the story.
This one did just that by including some mystery to the storyline that keeps your interested perked up. You have to read between the lines for the first 1/3 of the book to try and figure out some of the plot that happened behind the scenes. Something bad happened; this you know. Friends are separated. Hearts are hurting. Your interest is peaked to keep on going.
And there is some heat building up. The looks; the memories; the recognition that maybe, just maybe, your heart can be opened again. That memories don’t have to be bad and good memories can be added along the way.
*Sigh*
The author did a great job with the crafting of this book. It is not just sex and love… although there is nothing wrong with that! But there is emotion and feelings and you are right there with the characters as they try to figure out their path to happiness. Parts are a bit shocking but speak to the current atmosphere of the world today.
Ms. Butler created a pleasurable combination of love, friendship, and new beginnings in this young adult romance. Enjoyable and memorable. This is an author to watch for more great things to come!
