This is a book that you should be reading, but you are not.Childhood foster kids who meet up later in life after they have lost touch.Jaxxon Carter and Connor McKenzie both grew up in the foster care system.  When Connor left the foster care system, with promises to come back for Jaxxon, but did not without any explanation. Jaxxon left the foster care system with only the clothes on her back and a will to survive.  Years after not seeing each other, Connor sees Jaxxon's picture on a cover of magazine and decides to get in touch with her, but he is surprised by her response.Jaxxon is a tough girl.  She had to endure a lot in her life so she does not take any crap from anyone, not even the handsome Connor that she has had a crush on since they both lived in the same foster home. Connor has become a cocky playboy that thinks that women just fall at his feet, but when he contacts Jaxxon and she ignores his calls, he is curious as to why his childhood friend wants nothing to do with him.Jaxxon is just a great heroine.  She just says it like it is and loves who she is.  Even with her fame, she does not allow anyone or anything to change her.I am glad I picked this one up.  I did not skim at any point in the book, which I do have a tendency of doing when the writing drags. The book may have been a little predictable, but the author had my attention the entire time.I am a big sucker for stories about second chances; childhood friends that reunite. I love them and was glad that this one did not disappoint.Did I skim? NoDid I feel connected to the characters? Yes.Will I reread? Yes.Pace of the story: Perfect. I love the author's writing style!Positives: I loved the characters. Good writing.Negatives: The accents bothered me in the beginning, but I got over it pretty quickly.Do I recommend? YES!
