“You have to let yourself be open to the possibility of true love.”“I let myself be vulnerable and got my heart broken, but I also fell in love.”Yep I fell in love too. Tara Brown really did a fantastic job of sucking me in and keeping me so engrossed to the story that I could not put it down until the very end.  This book had everything I could have asked for in a romance story.  Normally I’m not a huge YA fan but OMG, Tara’s words had me forgetting that I was reading YA.  It doesn’t have the steamy sex scenes that I normally gravitate to but what this book did give me was a ton of laughs, a lot of attitude and and a very romantic love affair.“So… I may or may not have had a MAC lip-gloss in my pocket. but it wasn’t like I was stealing it.”“I swallowed hard, begging my eyes to water, but those whores weren’t giving me even a single trickle.”This story starts off where Finley finds herself in a whole lot of trouble. She’s your typical teenager with a lot of attitude and something to say about everything.  Her parents aren’t the greatest so  they end up sending her away to a relatives place where she hopefully gets her act together.  This is where she meets man of her dreams and life as she knows it starts to change little by little.  She is feisty, mouthy and in all honesty she acts like a spoiled brat but you can’t help but like her a lot.  Let me tell you the way this girl talks had me laughing out loud so many times my daughter was asking me what was so funny.I fell in love with Aiden right from the beginning. This 19 year old kid with the world on his shoulders, so proper, so mature and so damn romantic stole my heart. There wasn’t a single thing I didn’t like about this boy.  Honestly I couldn’t get enough of him.  I loved the banter between Fin and Aiden. They both completely come from two different worlds but honestly that doesn’t stop them from finding a way to be together. The fact that they are such opposites is what makes them so perfect for each other.Tara’s spin on this modern day fairy tale was so well written.  I felt like I was watching a new better version of the princess dairies.  Every single character that is introduced to us in this story feels like real people.  It’s so sweet, so funny and yes I am repeating myself but it truly is such a beautiful romantic story.. I NEED more of this story.. There isn’t a cliff hanger, you get this amazing epilogue that you want to go on for days. So yep, I need more Fin and Aiden.  I also would love to see this turn into a complete series. I’d love to see the secondary characters get their own story too..I’m a huge fan of Tara Brown’s work but honest to god,  this one is my new favorite from her.  I love her ability to write all kinds of genres and honestly I think she nailed this. Definitely a must read.  You will not be disappointed by the lack of sex in it.  She gives us so much in this story that steamy sex scenes aren’t needed. You don’t even miss it for a second.**Received an ARC in exchange for an honest Review**
