Lacey thinks her life can't get any worse...running from her bad reputation as a result of something she had no control over, she ends up in the arms of an even worse guy.  Then when she realizes what she is doing and walks away, that guy makes her life worse and starts stalking her.  Then...she meets Everett.  After everything she has been through, the last thing she wants to do is trust a guy.  But Everett seems different.  He gets her in a way that no one else does and makes her feel things she has never felt but Everett has secrets too.  When the whole truth finally comes to light will Lacey be able to forgive him?So there were parts of this story that I really liked.  Lacey is a good character and has a lot of depth to her.  Everett is too for that matter.  Their relationship progresses at a believable pace and once they finally do get together, it's hot!  What I didn't like is the way some of the plot lines get resolved.  Most of the stuff is pretty major stuff and it is wrapped up in a way that is not really believable.  I think if these things had been flushed out a little more, the story would have been that much better.My thoughts:Quick hook or slow starter? 4(I was interested right from the start)Character development: 4Level of Romance between characters: 4Passion/Heat level: 4 (sex scenes are well written and fit the story)Angst/Heartbreak: 4 (these two have all kinds of obstacles in their way)Cliffhanger?:  Nope, this is a stand alone book.Overall I liked it but couldn't rate it higher than a 4 based on some of the plot lines.  You will see what I am talking about when you get to them.  Liked the characters though and would read more from this author.I received a free copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.
