A prequel of the Daddy's girls' series. You really never know what someone goes through in a relationship when you are looking in from a distance. If you read the other books in the series this is a must read. You get the dynamic of Ryder and Brayden's pre-love days. You understand the pain Dina went through losing her parents and then her relationship with not only Maggie but Michael. It was emotional and dark. There was the heated moments, the love, the emotion but there was the aspects that you don't see in the usual story line and I loved that Chelsea put it out there. She went to a place most won't go. She opened it up so that you can feel what Dina feels and you are really in Maggie's shoes wanting to shake D and tell her to quit letting Michael get to her. Even though I had read the other books and I know the outcome. I was laughing at Ryder's cockiness. I laughed at Maggie's protective big sister routine and I LOVED that so much! Then you get hit with the struggle of the abuse with Michael but the inner struggle she wages within herself to justify every thing he does got me. I loved it so much and I know that besides it being simply brilliant as everything Chelsea has written it is something that will pull at the heart strings and touch every reader in places that most books don't. I highly VERY HIGHLY recommend this book recommend isn't even a good enough word. This story shows that this kind of relationship happens and when it does the emotional scars left behind can out weigh the physical ones. Sometimes it is so so much worse. This story makes you root for Dina and you see more indepth of the way Ryder comes into her life.
