4.5 starsMelanie has just moved to San Diego from Kentucky. She has been given the chance to start over. After a terrible up bringing with her mom and the men that were paraded through their home. Melanie is broken, so much so, that she rarely lets anyone into her life, for fear that she will be crushed again. Given the chance to start over, in a new state, a new school, she moves in with her father.When Josh gets one look at Melanie, he knows he is done for. He feels this pull, this need to protect her. But his two best friends, Katie and Mike, step in and push him away from her. He has a habit of lovin' and leavin' girls and the last thing that Mike and Katie want for Melanie is for Josh to hurt her. They become her protectors, more so than normal friends in my opinion. Slowly Melanie tells her new friends about the abuse that she has suffered and they now make it even harder for Josh to come near her. This sort of pi**ed me off. How can two people who are supposed to be your best friends, treat you like such a piece of sh*t?When Melanie's past is thrown right back into her face, she doesn't know where to turn. Scared and alone she decides that leaving is her best option. She has now realized that being so closed off by Mike and Katie created even more of a problem than expected, even though they wanted to protect her and keep her safe. Josh must now decide, if he has what it takes to step up and claim her heart and protect her from the real demons in her life. Are they both strong enough to overcome all the hurt, anger, sadness and above all the innocence. Can they make a life with one another, can they move forward?Pick up a copy today. You will not be disappointed. Very quick read.
