Samantha Elder and Scott Grant are total opposites. He’s popular, self-assured. She’s a loner who prefers to spend her time at the Fly-Inn fishing camp, the only place she’s ever felt accepted and never bullied. Will the arrival of the over-confident Scott ruin her chance at happiness? Or will he introduce her to a future she’d never thought possible? TW: sexual assault Excerpt: “Wait outside,” the doctor snapped at Scott shoving him out of the way as he finished removing the oxygen mask from her face. “Damn it! She refuses to breathe on her own.” The heart monitor beeped erratically. Refusing to leave, Scott moved to the opposite side of the bed and reached out, clutching her hand from on top of the blanket. “Damn you, Samantha! If you die on me, I’ll never forgive you. Do you hear me? I’ll never forgive you."
Where do I begin!?! I loved this book!!! I must warn you though you will need tissues...lots of them lol. This is this author’s first book and she does not disappoint, she put me through so many emotions and made me feel what the characters were experiencing. I really look forward to reading the next book in this series.
Samantha is a sweet, innocent and hardworking young lady. She was bullied throughout her school years and wanted to move away from her hometown as soon as she had the chance. She’s made a home away from home at Ed and Amber’s fishing/ vacation camp. She meets Scott, this jock from school who she secretly admired while the mean girls threw themselves at him. Things start looking bright for Samantha when there’s tragic turn of events which turns her life around. Now filled with fear and resentment towards Scott, she pushes him away. He woos her back helping her to change her perspective on life, when he himself faces his own tragedy. Samantha doesn’t hesitate to save his life, while risking hers. Overall it was a captivating storyline. The author really gets the emotions of the characters across to the reader. I loved Samantha’s determination and independence and strength, despite her many tribulations throughout the story. My favorite part was the ending. I’m sad that he mother wasn’t more supportive of her but I’m glad her father never second guessed her. I wished the ending would’ve been her dream on the exact date. I would definitely recommend this book. It’s a good read for any adult who enjoys a bit of romance with a lot of adventure.
