Stefanie's Review5 StarsWOW!! That is how I'm starting this review with!!  I loved everything about this story from beginning to the end.We meet Ash. He's a major player. He calls his women "the flavor of the month". After his dad died of cancer he forgoes his baseball scholarship. Goes to college near his house so he can be the man of the house to his Mom, his younger brother Colt  and sister Delilah. He takes care of everything for them. He really  doesn't know what he wants with life. But, he does know he doesn't want love.That is until he walks into the library and sees Cara. The beautiful girl behind the counter who doesn't smile, won't look up & wears glasses  that are way too big for her face. And, they hide the most beautiful eyes he's ever seen in his life. He knows right at that moment that he needs to know her. Ash asks his sister about her. All he knows is she just moved here. She doesn't talk to anyone. He plans to change that.Ash starts going to the library every morning trying to find a way to talk to her.  As they go to leave the library it's down pouring he puts his jacket over her head & runs her to her car. The next day he makes his move. He goes up to the counter & grabs the 1st book he can grab. Not realizing what he was picking up, he grabs a "How to please your man" book!! After he tells her it was for his sister. After a couple of laughs he asks her out. She says NO! This was where the book got cute. Ash lets Cara know he's going to ask her out everyday & she swears to say no everyday. Everyday Ash comes up with different ways to ask her out. Cara on the other hand. Came up with the funniest ways to say NO without even opening her mouth. It was hysterical!After awhile Ash wears Cara down. They have their 1st date under the willow tree. Their date was awkward. To say the least. It's obvious that Cara is shy. But, why we really don't know yet.The next day when Ash is in Poetry Class  the teacher announces a special guest today. Ash is beyond thrilled because it's Cara. After class Ash asks Cara to hang out again. He gets denied, unless its to be helped doing his poetry. He takes what he can get. She gives Ash a "Poetry For Dummies" Book. He then buys her a poetry book and leaves it for her at the library. Then, she really agrees to go on her 1st actual date with him.They soon become inseparable. Ash and Cara are together every chance they get. Cara knows everything about Ash that there is to know. Ash on the other hand knows that Cara &  her sister moved after her parents died. And, that she wears big glasses that  hide her beautiful, but lost eyes.Once Ash really lets love in & embraces it 100% his world comes crashes down around him. His brother Colt has a brain tumor and must get surgery the following week.  The only person who he needs or wants is Cara. Now, Ash must learn how to go from taking care of everyone to the one that needs to be taken care of.Cara also finds the courage to tell Ash her secret. Which, I won't give away!! After they both love & trust each other completely. Something happens that can tear them apart forever!! They must fight with everything they have to not loose what they have.This book was fantastic!! When I tell you I was smiling 1 minute. Then, crying the next. The intense feeling Ash & Cara had for each other was adorable. I think I loved that it was in Ash"s POV the most. It was a really nice change. I loved how he went from having his booty calls to being a 1 woman man!! You really must read this this book the 1st chance you get!"Don't ever look down. Someone so beautiful should always be looking up.''"I think about you all the time. I think about the way your eyes twinkle, the curve of your lips when you smile, and how absolutely incredible I feel when I'm with you.""Cara, whatever you've been through, all those pieces of your life, broken or not, come together to make you who you are. I don't expect sunshine and roses...s***, I don't have that, either."" I don't think I've ever told you this but you have the most amazing eyes I've ever seen. I can see everything in them...your spirit, your light, your heart, your soul...and it's a beautiful soul."Check out my other reviews:[...][...]
