Description
Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.

Some things are worth experiencing…

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

Some things should never be kept quiet…

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

And some things are worth fighting for

My Opinion

Wow where do I begin with this book, I just absolutely loved it. I fell in love with the characters, their stories and couldn't put it down! This book is a perfect relaxing read to just chill out with.

The thing I loved most was the characters. They were believable and I was able to connect with them easily. They just made the book realistic and their reactions to the situations they were in made the novel believable. You couldn't help but fall in love with Cam, I mean for one who doesn't love a hot, sexy guy next door but he was also so sweet with Avery. As well as this the characters really played with my emotions as the novel progressed. I fell in love with them so much I was nearly in tears during some points.

The secrets that Avery and Cam keep, although the reader is able to figure it out through the hints given, I like the way the author dragged out the process of admitting the truth to develop the relationship. As well as this the resolve in the book was great. It tied up all the loose ends and left the reader on a happy and good note.

This book made me smile, laugh, cry and probably a few other emotions. I had everything you want from a romance novel, sweet dates, passionate moments, hot guys and mixed in with college life and a few traumatic experiences it gave the book a twist and a way to test the relationship. The balance struck between the happy, playful moments and the serious ones was well done as it never appeared too much, just kept me turning the pages.

Overall this was a great read that I would highly recommend! It's a brilliant romance that draws you in and keeps you turning pages. You can't help but fall in love with the characters and it was a romance that seemed real. The characters actually felt like they were moving from friends to more. It was just a really great read, one that I'm going to have to get in paperback and definitely re-read!
