3.5 starsThis book was good. Katherine and Timber knew each other from school. She was picked on mercilessly by Timbers "in"crowd. One day he felt bad for her and apologized but she told him his apology didn't mean anything because he sat back and watched his friends bully others.Years later and Timber is out of the army, after four years and tours in Afghanistan. He's experienced great loss from the war and it has left deep rooted scars. He takes a job in a small town working in the oil fields. Trying to find a way to cope with his demons and nightmares that plague him. He never expects to run into a tattooed, hazel eyed brunette that looks a bit familiar.High school was tough for Katherine. She dealt with being picked on. But it was the sexual assault that sent her over the edge. She moved away from her hometown to a small town where her uncle worked. She was too damaged to go off to college and instead got a job at 18 tending bar. Being in a small town was good for her. She re-created herself into Kat. Kat was a hottie with tats,  but still wounded. She has a couple friends and everyone who knew her cared for her.The night of her 21st birthday she never expected the boy from her past to walk in the door. She knew exactly who Timber was. But since Kat looked so different, he didn't recognize her at first.Initially Kat gives him the cold shoulder. But Timber likes Kat and has had a soft spot since high school.Both of them are carrying secrets that hold them back. But eventually they open up to each other and begin to unknowingly help each other heal.But Kats demon isn't only in her past. Her attacker has haunted her for years and has finally come back in the flesh. It's a shock to everyone to learn who it is. The reader is aware from the beginning.Timber and Kat were great together. He was alpha male hot. Demanding, bossy yet gentle. Kat was a fighter. But she could fight timber from sneaking in her heart. I liked their gentleness in helping heal from their pasts. I also liked their sexiness. He was HOT!.
