*Copy provided by the Author in exchange for an honest review*This book is a wonderful story of survival and finding the strength to get on with life. Paige has lost everything; her family included in a tragic house fire and after spending a year recovering from extensive burns in hospital she is now well enough to leave and is keen to start living her life.This book is well written, very clear and concise, flows along at a good pace, so much so that I had trouble putting this book down. The emotions from the very likeable characters are well projected that you feel as though you’re in their shoes. It is written in dual point of view between Paige and Clay which is great a drawing the reader into their relationship.Paige and Clay make a wonderful pair. Paige is moving on with her life after her family tragedy. She’s enrolled in college and is determined to make a go of the life that has been dished out to her. This is where she meets Clay, who is drawn to her instantly. He’s a playboy who is happy to love em’ and leave em’ until he meets Paige, he can’t get off his mind. Their relationship is sweet and caring, and even the love scenes between them are tastefully written.Our villain in this piece is Hannah, Clay’s ex-girlfriend. She is convinced that Clay will marry her and tries her best at tearing him and Paige apart. Hannah is a nasty character but her antics keep the story interesting as she is quite unpredictable. Her situation at the end of this book came as a complete surprise to me.The book does end with a cliffhanger, and I felt it coming the closer I got to the end, so it was not much of a shock. However it does create a great opening for the next book in this series, and I look forward to reading that also.This story has a bit of everything a nice romance, drama, mystery and suspense. I recommend it if you’re looking for more than just romance in a read. Great story!
