(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley.)High school drop-out Lacey lives in her Grandmother’s trailer, and works two jobs to pay more rent than her Grandmother pays. Her mother is always drunk, and her boyfriend Macon likes to be rough with her.When Lacey meets Everett, she feels a spark, and she likes the way he treats her.Can Lacey get away from the people that like to hurt her? And what is Everett hiding?This was an okay contemporary romance, and the ‘love’ scenes were pretty hot!Lacey was an okay character, and I did feel quite sorry for her and the way she was treated. Macon was pretty awful to her, talk about a cretin, and he really deserved to be in jail for what he did to her. Unfortunately her mother and grandmother were pretty darn awful to her too, and it was so unfair the way everyone treated her like trash.The storyline in this was okay, but it didn’t really pull me in. The way that Lacey was treated made me feel angry, but otherwise I didn’t feel all that much for the story at all. The sex scenes were pretty hot, and saved this book for me. If it weren’t for the steamy love scenes I wouldn’t have liked this book at all.The revelation at the end with regards to Everett was interesting, and I was glad that we got a happy ending after all.Overall; okay contemporary romance with some hot love scenes,6.5 out of 10.
