Ouch.
Eighteen months and one study abroad program later, I’ve returned to Wesley University to finish out my senior year.
And Colton?
He’s nothing more than a regrettable mistake I’d prefer to forget. Or so I tell myself. It only takes one run-in to realize that my feelings for him aren’t as dead and buried as I’d thought. Nope, they’re still there, simmering dangerously beneath the surface.
He wants a second chance to make things right.
That’s not going to happen.
But Colton has other ideas.
And part of me is afraid that if he actually puts his mind to it, he’ll end up changing mine.
*This is a mature New Adult novel with strong language and sexual situations intended for readers above the age of 18*
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟
”Deep down I know she’s the one girl who has the ability to weasel her way into my heart, and that’s the last thing I want.”
When Alyssa Williams was fourteen, she set her sights on
Colton Montgomery. However, he was never interested in a relationship – he much
preferred to play for the field – even though his attraction to Alyssa was just
as strong as the one she felt for him. When they end up at the same college,
Colton’s still holding out on her, until he reaches breaking point and gives in
to temptation and his overriding desire for this one girl that he just can’t stop
thinking about. Unfortunately, when things get a bit too close for comfort for
him, he breaks her heart. Two years later, he realises that he could lose her
forever and pulls out all the stops to convince her that he’s changed and that he
wants forever with her. However, he has his work cut for him, as Alyssa is
pretty gun-shy about giving her heart to him, again.
So, this was a pretty emotional but steamy read. Alyssa and
Colton had hella hot chemistry – when they were together, nothing else mattered
because they were really well-suited. It was the main thing that kept me riveted
because they were electric whenever they were within touching distance. Although,
I must say that I thought Colton was a self-absorbed jerk and Alyssa was a bit
of a doormat. She had no resistance against him! I wanted to shake her, at
times, for her weakness when it came to him. Grow some ladyballs, girlfriend! I
felt that Colton hurt her unnecessarily. The guy had issues and slept around to
ignore his issues – if he had been my boyfriend, there’s no way I would have
taken him back! Alyssa deserved heaps better than him but I guess you can’t
help who you love. I enjoyed his efforts to get back into her good graces,
although he still slipped when it mattered. He was so hung up with what had
happened to him in the past that he failed to appreciate what was right in
front of his eyes. If you love angsty, sexy NA reads, this is the book for you.
