Can Carmyn finally learn to let go and fall for Dallas and have the dream future she's always wanted?  Can Dallas let go of his past and what his dad did and move on with his life?At first I figured this would be like so many other college romance novels I have read.  Boy meets girl, girl falls in love with guy, guy can't commit, so on and so forth.  But this story was so much more complicated than that in the fact that both Carmyn and Dallas have been hurt my a parent and both aren't looking for a relationship.  I loved Carmyn, she is such a strong individual who only wants the best in her life and wants to find the man of her dreams.  Dallas is OMG H.O.T.T.  He seems like a guy who's impossible to approach, doesn't care for women, or anyone at all for that matter.  But hidden beneath it all is a man who is loyal and loving to those he cares for and never treats Carmyn as anything less than the lady she deserves.  This story was amazing and I am looking forward to reading Denton's story next.***Complimentary copy provided by author/publisher for an honest review***
