OMG, I do not even know where to begin with this review. You remember in Jerry Maguire, "you had me at hello"? Well this book had me at 10%. Yarros owned me with her writing as I blazed through the pages of this book and had it not been for work and the need to feed the kids I would have finished even faster. But anyhow, this was me at 10%.This is a love story about Ember and Josh. We meet Ember at the beginning of the book where literally her world has been torn apart. After notification of her father's death in the military, she is the one struggling to keep her family together. As if things could not get worse, Ember's heart is dealt another blow when she is betrayed by two people she trusts the most. Luckily for Ember, a chance meeting at the supermarket introduces Josh, her high school crush, back into her world.Back in High School Josh was the ultimate bad boy hockey stud with girls falling all over him. Years later, life has happened, Josh has matured and he definitely has an interest in Ember, and not just because he is her brother's hockey coach. Don't get me wrong, he is still the same stud with the girls, just less of the bad boy now. What I loved was how caring, sweet and protective he was of Ember. Swoon.Eventually things come together for this couple despite Ember's hesitation and their chemistry is HOT!!. As typical there are a few speed bumps along the way in their relationship and at one point Josh really irked me, but he made up for it quickly. But then Josh's secret which is hinted at throughout the book is revealed, and let me just say, I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED IT. My heart broke along with Ember's as I understood what it meant to Ember and to their relationship.But despite the sadness I felt, Yarros pulls it all together and finishes with a story filled with hope and the possibility that if you truly love someone things can work out. This book was amazing and I cannot wait to read more from this wonderful author. I'm a new fan!!!!I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
