Oh Denver.  She's so determined to not be her mother, yet sure it's a foregone conclusion.Always by her side is Greer, best friend and personal rock.When most teens are having crushes and breaking hearts Denver is working to keep herself safe from her mother's men.  All the while finding success as a rancher and barrel racer.  She's pretty damn amazing-if only she could see it.I'm still trying to decipher my feelings about this book.  Denver broke my heart - yet often created her own trouble.  Never willing to see the truth, always taking all the blame.  And Greer allows her to, again and again.I think Greer does love her, just like Denver loves him.  But they're no good together.  As friends maybe, but with so many doubts and questions the familiar shouldn't be the only choice.Then there's Ransom.  Sexy, with secrets.  As well as a crazy love/hate thing with Denver.  The way he helps her, cares for her is stunning.  Her heartbreak and betrayal hurt the reader.Again Denver goes for her familiar vice. That Austin is the one to correct her is both funny and sad.From here it was like a different book.  Such a huge plot twist that lost me and shook me out of their world. It felt awkward and rushed.  Just too much for a story that has so many twists and turns as well as pain and desperation.
