This is definitely not your ordinary love story. T. Renee Fike wrote a story about love, trust, acceptance and overcoming your past. She wrote the two main characters flawed but also with redeeming qualities. The story was well written and flowed very nicely. I felt a range of emotions reading this book. And I loved all of them. I feel in love with Harper, watching her grow from her past and finally feel free enough to trust others. Although this story is a love story, it also delves into the main characters dark pasts. The author tackled a controversial topic but did it in a very enlightening and  respectful way. Definitely worth a read!!Harper Lane is an 18 year old trying to start a new life for herself. She left home and  changed her name to get away from her toxic family. Harper gets a part time as a bartender and starts going to college. She enjoys her job and gets along with her co-workers. But she  doesn't want to get too close to anyone because she finds it hard to trust. Then one day she literally runs into Tuck Price. She cant stop thinking of him.....he is even invading her dreams. Her co-workers tell her to stay away from him. And at first she tries, but eventually she decides to give him the benefit of the doubt. Harper likes hanging out with Tuck. Things are easy between them. He doesn't ask her about her past and she doesn't ask him about his. When she starts to get mad at seeing him with other girls, Harper realizes that she cares for him as more than a friend.Tuck Price is the college hottie. He is very popular with the girls. However he doesn't do relationships. Tuck just uses girls and then sends them on their way because he was hurt once and refuses to let that happen again. But when he lays eyes on Harper, he senses something is different with her and feels the need to protect her.  Tuck wants to get to know her and spend time with her. The more he gets to know her the more he wants protect her. He knows that both of them need to talk about their pasts in order to truly be together.They slowly begin to tell each other about their childhoods and things are getting more serious between them. But before Harper can tell him about her trauma, her parents show up. They are trying to force her to come back home with them, but Harper stands up to them. With Tuck by her side, she is finally able to say the words that have haunted her for the last two years. Will He stand by her or does he run away from her?
