This book had a lot of potential. I liked the plot and the characters that began on the road to discovering love and uncovering some truths. The main character Kenna ran away at the age of eighteen because her Step-dad and Mom abused her. Apparently this went on for some time and she never told anyone. I wanted more of this story in the beginning so I could relate more to her. So she is moving on not too far from where she grew up is a little odd. Had her Mother wanted to find her she could have, but it seemed they are not concerned about charges of abuse being filed. Living with her best friends parents, renting a room is cool. It gives her stability.The problem is Kenna is very closed off. Through her best friend she meets Donovan who is a cop. This is the one person, I would have thought she would run fro,m. Being a cop and having a commanding presence is the opposite from what Kenna needs. I think the part that got me a little confused was how Donavan tells her he wont be able to share her. It seems like she tells him about her past and he should proceed cautiously. I felt even if he lets himself get caught up in emotions, trained as a police office her should know how to keep things like that in check.Kenna distracting herself with Cruz was odd too. He didnt really serve a purpose. It was like he was so rarely around that having him pop up was odd. What I would have liked was for her to be a little reckless with him. She wasnt they never did anything sexual, so I didnt see the reason he would come back.I also liked her Uncle. That is a bonding relationship that gave you a little glimpse of Kenna. She cared for him because he wasnt managing his diabetes and visited him weekly.The secrets that Kenna has are probably equally in scale to those Donovan has. His secrets revealed were pretty good too. I wanted both of them to have an attraction that they fought because they were broken.
