Read the full review at The Book Wranglers.comWhere to start? There were some serious emotions tumbling around in this story.A roller coaster of emotions is what I went through for this book.I went from judging Ashley's history to being so happy that she was starting over fresh and wanting to be better, to hating that she grew up in such a cold family (her father is the worst), to finally being happy that she'd found love and could be happy.SYNOPSIS:Once know as the high school 'b*tch' and ruthless when it came to taking whatever she wanted, Ashley Davis has decided that going off to college will allow her to start anew and reinvent herself into someone better. This great epiphany came after she was assaulted.She carefully places herself in situations so as not to repeat any of her past discretions. Staying older guys, guys that are already spoken for, b*tchy girls- deciding to keep people at arms length even. But her  plans are pushed aside when her roommate Mac quickly becomes a close confidant and the handsome geek, Zeke Whitman make way into her life.Zeke Whitman is a man on a mission. Mission one...keep his grades up and work hard. His new and second mission...Ashley Davis. Despite his focus on work and all of those depending on him back at home Zeke can't stop thinking about Ashley and can't stay away.For the first time ever Zeke has found someone that makes him feel alive, comfortable, and happy. He knows the connection between he and Ashley deny is more than just being friends. But with Zeke's responsibilities and Ashely's past the two have to decide if their relationship is worth the risk. Are they willing to take on a relationship that doesn't fit within the perfect box most create? Well, they certainly give it a go and take on all the changes that come along with starting over.The Best Thing:The story was so good!! I've had a draught of bad books recently and this was so refreshing. I love how well developed the overall story was, as well as the characters.Ashley: I thought Ashley represented a lot of young girls out there that are missing something in their lives and tend to act out in other ways because of it. But, after her assault she decided that she should make some changes and happened to find the perfect friend (Mac) to help her. She's relatable, fun, and at times I pitied her up-brining, but overall she was a great character to read about.Zeke: God! Such a good guy. What young girl/ woman wouldn't want a  guy that puts his child first even when he himself was just a child. From the beginning Zeke was a great character full of witty comments, smarts, understanding, protective, and loving.The Worst Thing:I don't really have anything bad to say; the story was well written. However, I did have major issues with Ashely's father... the man was just horrible, and I kept thinking at some point he would come around but no. I guess I can't be too upset because there was a HEA overall.Overall: I definitely recommend this book! 5 stars out of 5!
