Damn You Shantel!!! Gah,Is all I can say!!**ARC**I can not even begin to explain the crazy set of emotions that I had while reading. I was all over the place with my gut of emotions shifting at every chapter. Shantel really kept the story alive and going in this book. And when I was finally finished reading it took me a few days to overcome the quake of emotions. I went through the 7 stages of Denial when this was finished. I did not see the Twists she wrote into this book coming at all!Samantha is trying to come to terms with her mothers death. She is trying to get answers to questions that are haunting her at night, and she wants to know why her childhood friend Tate is at her door telling her that he was there to care for her mom while she was sick and that he has stalked her from high school graduation until a few weeks ago.Samantha is trying to take care of things on her own with her life right now and it is pissing Slade off and pushing him further away from her. Sam starts to get calls and text messages from someone telling her that Slade is cheating on her, and that he doesn’t love her and will eventually leave her. She goes on a hunt to find out who this person is and hopes that she will not lose Slade with all the secrets she is creating in the meantime.Slade has no idea how to help Samantha overcome the loss of her mother, but he knows one thing that is for sure, Tate will not be coming around his Angel ever again. The grief he is causing her with all the lies he is saying is only making Slade want to protect Samantha even more. He knows that he wants to marry her one day and start a family. Slade never thought he would be to this point in his life with a woman, well that is until Angel walked into his life. He just wants to make her happy and help her feel safe and loved, so he is not understanding why she is determined to push him away and keep secrets from him, knowing he will eventually find out what she is doing and why.Tate needs to tell Samantha the truth about her family. The reason her mom kept her at bay, why her dad helped her mom financially and the secret he knows that will change the way the future is played out when it comes to their friendship. Tate will always feel the need to protect Samantha. He has protected her for as long as he can remember and if becoming friends with Slade is what he needs to do in order to be around her, he will do that. He just wants her to know the truth about everything.
