I was gifted this book for an honest and fair review.Have you ever read a book where you just could not stop reading?  A book where you wanted, no, needed, more?  This is one of those books for me.  I was sucked in from page one and even told people about this book before I was even finished.Aleah is a 20 year old Pakistani girl who grew up in a male dominated, traditional Middle Eastern household.  Her mother was submissive to her husband and sons and everyone expected Aleah to be the same.  Her world is turned upside down due to a misconception and she is contemplating suicide.  But then she meets David.  He is like a guardian angel and adopted grandfather, all rolled into one.  I loved the relationship and feelings between Aleah and David, and all I will say that I did cry.  You'll have to read it to find out why.  He literally saves her life and she has a new purpose and direction.Aiden is a rich, spoiled and entitled man who has been trying to get his grandfather's approval since he was just a little boy.  He thinks that Aleah is a gold digger sleeping with his grandfather.  He soon finds out just how wrong he was.  And he starts to consider her a friend.But the rest of his family is atrocious.  I wanted to slap Aiden's mother until her head spun right around and his uncle Tom needs a kick in the nuts and a punch to the head.  These are some truly horrible people.  Aleah's brother Shane is someone I would not mourn, either.But all the conflict and emotions suck you into the story and it is a wonderful place to be.  This is one of the best books, if not the best, book that I have read in 2014.
