Synopsis:

When Mikayla imagined her prom night, she envisioned a fairy-tale evening full of romance. So when betrayal and tragedy come in quick succession, Mikayla is completely destroyed. Suddenly, everything she loved and everyone she relied on are tragically, irrevocably gone.

Jake, a handsome boy she just met, happens to witness her loss. With no one to turn to, Mikayla is forced to depend on this near stranger and his family, and he in turn is determined to take care of her. But Mikayla—thrust into adulthood with no one to guide her—is desperate to contain her grief and hide what she considers to be her weakness. Mikayla and Jake both want more, but despite their growing closeness and intense chemistry, she tries to keep her distance and protect her heart. As he does everything in his power to win her trust, Mikayla must choose between remaining alone and safe or letting love in.

My Honest Opinion:

I really, really loved this book. The story was amazing. If you haven't read a Jay McLean book you really need too. This is my 2nd book by this Author. I loved it. The 2nd book in the series has to be just as amazing as this one. I cannot wait to get into the next one. 

The characters in this story just blew me away. I just wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. The way they loved each other. It just melted my heart. The way Jake was there for her when he just met her. It was just amazing is the only word I can think of that explains my love for this story. You must READ THIS BOOK!!! Jake is the ultimate HOTTIE!  Mikhayla is the cute, witty girl. I just loved them together. 

This is so sad, so hysterical and such a steamy, Steamy doesn't describe it. It was just that good. Definate MUST READ. 

Quotes:  "He’s my Jake and I’m his Kayla."
“God Jake, I so much more than a lot like you."
"Mikayla, I passed that stage a long, long time ago.” 
“It's just you. It's only ever been just you. It will always only ever be just you.” 
“HO. LEE. SHIT. I feel sorry for all the girls in the world that never get to experience a Jake Andrews at least once in their lifetime.” 
“Hey, Jake?”
“Yeah, Kayla?” He’s almost asleep.
“I more than a lot like you.”
It’s quiet for so long I don’t know if he heard me. 
Then, “I more than a lot like you too, so much more than a lot.”
