This book in a nutshell:
• Insta-love
• Pity party
• Soap Opera
• Lack of chemistry
• Dreary mood
• Hot and cold
• Wishy-washy characters
• Angst
• Repetitiveness
• Too freaking long!

The mystery was alright, though.

My copy was buried in my kindle (I'm a serial title hoarder). NetGalley had me bring it up. I am so glad I finally read this book! Awesome NA romance!

Ryder is my main love in this book. He is smart, responsible, and truly cares about people. Ivy had some tough breaks in life but she softened up at the end. I didn't like her "friends" too much even for ones she keeps at arms length. Ryder's brother, Griffin, seems like he has a great story to tell and I would love to read that one too with Mia. You are left with some unanswered questions about Ivy and her parents murder but overall the book does end well. Another plus of this book was Ivy's relationship with her grandma who has dementia. So many issues she has to deal with and with being poor they are very limited. I really felt for her. I received a free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Romance with a bit of mystery and intrigue. Story about love, secrets, destiny, faith, salvation and forgivnes.
This story will keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end, wanting to know what will happen next and how does it end.
It will keep you wanting more and more.
Characters are so well written you'll fall in love with them, and not just with hero and the heroine - every each one of them.
This is a must read and such an awesome start to what I presume will be amazing series.
I can't wait to read next one!

Needed 10 stars! Love story for the ages. Romance with a little bit of intrigue, amazing. This book will make you question destiny, fate, and forgiveness. Two young people meet and with it comes surprise, questions, and secrets. Ivy and Ryder fight their attraction but it is not easy, she tries to hide and he won't stop until he finds her; all of her. I cannot wait to read every book in this series. Thank you NetGalley and L.R. Olson for allowing me to read this book and write a honest review.

I read Seduction, which was the prequel to this book, first. I believe I waited a bit to read this one and now I am still eagerly waiting for the other books!! This is one of my favorites.
