This is perhaps the 3rd book written by Cara Marsi that I have read and she has kept my attention in all of them. Her prose is lyrical and better yet, her heroes and heroines are humans, with human failings; they struggle and they prevail.Such is the case with Samantha and Adrien. Hailing from the same town, they have known each other forever. A traumatic incident in Samantha's part brought her to Adrien's arms. Then, Samantha left without even saying goodbye. But, she's back for the weekend and she meets Adrien again. The attraction between them still exist; in fact, they smolder. But the emotional baggage that had kept them apart was still there.And this is where and how Cara Marsi excels. The conflict is from within and from without. There are only two characters in this story; they fight between themselves while they also fight the conflicting emotions inside them. Cara Marsi brings everything in the open, so as a reader, you actually feel and see what the character is feeling and seeing.How Samantha and Adrien deal with their feelings for each other and how they finally prevail over their failings and shortcomings is what makes this story appealing.A great read! It's PG 13 due to sex.
