This book took me by surprise in thinking I knew how the outcome was going to be, but I was wrong. First of all I love the heroin in this book; she’s intelligent, fierce, and blunt. Emerald’s the type of woman who has no regrets about who she is and takes life as it comes. She doesn’t take crap from anyone. She could care less about making friends. She likes being a loner, its safe that way. Her sassy attitude does get her into a bit of trouble with people and the law.What do you expect when you have a Whore of a mother?  The life she lived with her mother wasn’t filled with rainbows and butterflies. It lacked the love of a mother and was filled with emptiness.  Her mother instilled in her at young age that men are just a means to an end.An event happens in her life that she winds up living with her grandparents.  Her loving grandparents try to reach out to Emerald during this difficult time but all she can think about is how to gather enough money to leave town. She wants to go back to college and forget about everything else.When Carter Black enters Emerald’s life he’s not only sexual attracted to her but also intrigued by her. He wants to get to know her at a deeper level but as for Emerald that’s just too personal.  She enjoys the attention from Carter and doesn’t mind having fun with him. He on the other hand is very caring, patient, and accepts her for who she is. Will Emerald let Carter into her secluded life? Or will he just stand in her way?I enjoyed reading this story because Emerald must learn to forgive the past and move on. Emerald understands that life isn’t handed to you and you’re the one who can make it happen if you really want it. At the end I’m left with what will be the outcome of her journey. I can’t wait to read the next booK!4.5 Stars
