Wow! What can I say but wow. It has been a while since I have stayed up ALL night reading a book. I skipped over this many times. I even read the sample and still did not buy it. I was like, oh, this is like "Indecent Proposal" all over again. On a whime I purchased it after reading some reviews and I am now in love with this book. Adian is hands down one of the best hero/leads I have ever had the pleasure of reading about.  Yes, it is similiar to the movie with the basic theme, but it seperates because it really dives into Daisy, Adian and Petes characters, their motives, the secerets they share and their insecurities which makes them all to twisted things.We know Daisy is selfish and comfort driven and is destined for something bigger then the small town she grew up in called "the Hollow" and Pete, her childhood sweet heart, was meant to live a small town life, but he sees that greatness in Daisy and does not want to let go. Daisy is caught between settling for Pete and living a plane, obscure life or admitting her attraction to Aidan who is wealthy beyond belief and has the power and influence to give Daisy what she truely desires.Aidan is just relieving bordom when he makes the offer but what ensues changes all of their lives as Aidan is unable to give Daisy up. I really liked Aidan. He is one of those men that has done and will do dirty, underhanded things to get what he wants and some of what he did to Daisy and Pete was really low, but he is unapolagetic. He may not admit it to himself, but he loves Daisy and for that love, he does very, twisted things. Daisy is stuck in the middle, unsure of which path to choose and Pete is equally stuck, unsure if Daisy is his past or still his future. All three are masters at pointing out the other persons flaws and there are some scenes that had me shouting out "No, Aiden!!!! don't do it." He is like a bear when he feels like he is losing Daisy and goes all in!!! Man, was I shocked at how low he got but I still felt for him. And then there was Pete, sweet, loveable Pete who was somewhat worldly at 21 but is really playing with a heavy hitter and is getting his knocks. I really was torn between the two men and I am on the outside looking in so I can understand Daisy's actions.This book ends on a cliff hanger with the next book Daisy's Choice after it. I am currently reading that book and it has me on edge!I love both books. READ this book you will not be dissapointed.
