The idea of a couple stuck on a horrible road trip together really intrigued me, but I had a hard time connecting with this story. The endless amount of bad luck they faced eventually became too much for me.Ashley and Ethan grew up together, but they haven't spoken in almost two years. He was best friends with her brother Mark, until they got caught up in an illegal moonshine ring. Ethan was blamed for Mark's involvement and things haven't been the same between them since. Mark went off to college and Ethan has continued to be the town bad boy, distributing moonshine.Ashley is pumping gas one day, when she looks over and sees Ethan at the pump next to her. She's always had a crush on him, but she can't get over him corrupting her brother. He's trying to have a conversation with her when bullets start flying.Ethan has been trying to get out of the moonshine business, but the leader of the ring, isn't going to let that happen so easily. Now that the thugs have seen Ethan and Ashley together, they have no choice but to flee town and find the one person that can help them bring down the ring. A limited amount of cash, a few crappy vehicles and the tension between them makes for a crazy trip.Ashley and Ethan shared some cute moments together, but mostly I just felt their relationship was awkward. Especially the sex scenes. They weren't sweet or passionate...just plain weird and uncomfortable.*Complimentary copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*
