This is a Romantic Suspense book. I would recommend this for an older age group. This is such an emotional book, you think Roxanne has been though enough pain in her life, then she discovers more. But she learns to deal with her grief though all of her problems. I really appreciated the dedication she felt towards her mother even though their wasn't a good relationship between them. The connection between Roxanne and Cruz was amazing.This is a story about Roxanne, she was dreaming of college, and being with her sweetheart Cruz Montoya. But her life started falling apart and it seemed to happen all at once. Her older sister Macy committed suicide. Her dad just got up and left one day, and her mother... well by blood only, is taking her anger out on Rox. Can her life be any worse?Back in Arlington Heights, Cruz Montoya, whom has never forgotten Roxanne, thinks of her all the time. He was honorably discharged from the military, but still is look at as a juvenile delinquent. He is dealing with PTSD and knows he is no good for Rox but he just has to try. When he finally connects with Roxanne he realizes there is something more to her sister Macy's death, that is hurting Roxanne. He will try to help her, or is he nine years to late to be any use to her?favorite passages:"You can never go back. I always argue with myself about this belief— if I can’t go backward, why can’t I go forward?""That smile, this man equaled to something very lickable."“No, I belong here just like anyone else.”"I always felt hypnotized by them as if I were drowning in them…Drowning in him.""People who say that it will just fade with time, don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. It doesn't fade. You learn to live day by day without that person’s smile, laughter, hugs and kisses and even their anger but you don’t ever let them just fade away." <3"She's propping me up on her shoulders with her wings out spread.""The sun is shining and though there were clouds, they were the fluffy kind cotton candy dreams are made of."
