ARC Review;"Striking" is a love story born of hatred, embedded in the embers of passion to create an everlasting connection between two people worthy of such devotion. This story incredibly lesson in the value of self worth, hard work & true love conquering all! (Even a snarky attitude!!)To get an idea of Cami Montgomery,  you need to think of Regina George from "Mean Girls". Trendy, spoiled, conceited & unmotivated. After running a car into her mom's elegant Beverly Hills boutique, her parents feel its time for an intervention & ship her off her aunt & uncle in the Appalachian Mountains. To say this was a culture shock doesn't even cover it! Cami attempts to herd sheep in designer shoes & her expensive clothes were not meant for cleaning out stalls. Oh but hold on y'all because here comes  Stockton Wright.....*sigh*Stockton has more on his shoulders than the average  twenty four year old. Because of a tragic family circumstance he had to leave school in order to come home & take care of his siblings & the small town he left behind. Mentally & physically exhausted, Stockton knows he needs a change a ray of hope in his darkness. Can Stockton make room in his hectic life for Cami?? Does she want to stay & become a part of his life, or return home to the plastic  safety of Beverly Hills?OMG!!! I loved every minute of this book!! Even though Cami was stuck up, I couldn't help but love her!! She's hilarious & doesn't take crap off of anyone!! The changes she makes are because she sees the need to make them in herself NOT for Stockton. Her transformation is truly awe-inspiring, will make you cry & make you proud of Cami's accomplishments! Lets not forget the sexy Stockton, although pretty close to perfect he has a few lessons to learn himself. The more time he spends with Cami, the more he realizes he wants & needs her in his life. Having love in his life makes him a complete person & better able to handle the hardships that have become his life. I absolutely fell in love with Cami & Stockton & their love story will stay in my heart for a long time to come.
