I was extremely disappointed by this book. I found myself underwhelmed time and time again.The heroine, Lacey, is very immature. I had a hard time dealing with her victim mentality. She lets these terrible things happen to herself and her brother, but doesn’t do anything about it. It’s said that she sticks around because of her brother, but in the beginning, she’s not even regularly staying with her brother, so that can’t possibly make sense. The issue with her family in Oregon is so ridiculous and easily solved that when she DOES take the time to solve that problem, I was more annoyed than anything.Everett was actually a good hero. He was charming and good for Lacey. He did have a pretty terrible secret, but the issue with his family was a little muddled and not too believable. His reasons for not communicating with his family were literally just because he had no communication skills—same as Lacey.I actually did like most of the secondary characters. The romance that began between Clare and Andrew was entertaining to watch and I almost would like to read more about them, but even if they get their own book, I don’t think I will.The entire book is written as if the author wants us to feel bad for the heroine and adore the hero and then feel sorry for him, too. Everything I just a little too forced for my taste and I won’t be reading any more by this author.
