If you are looking for a college romance to devour, look no further. I was surprised by how fast I whipped through the pages! Even with the drama and angst, this novel is fairly easy going and pleasant from start to finish.Carmyn Rafferty decided to live on the "safe" side after the atrocious home life growing up. She thought that planning out the perfect future and following all the rules would prevent disaster from striking again. Carmyn is a relatable character and her story was easy to fall into. I felt she was realistic and very well created. Carmyn almost lets the past break her down and I understood the choices she made. I'm very happy she decided to give Dallas a chance.Dallas Brown has his own set of problems and chooses to keep his distance from anything too serious. For years he has kept his bed warm with quick, meaningless flings but he knows there is something missing. When he finds out Carmyn is single, he jumps at the chance to finally spend time with her. What he didn't count on was feeling an immediate, intense connection that he can't shake. Both believe they can keep things purely physical but things can never be that simple. Hold on for a bumpy ride as they attempt to figure out how to release their past pain for a chance at a happy future.I love stories with emotionally damaged characters finding happiness with each other. With so much pain in their lives, I feel they deserve to have that special person to bring light into their life. Dallas and Carmyn were great together! It wasn't an effortless journey for them but that adds to the story. In order to heal, sometimes you have to dig up the pain. At least they had each other to rely on through this discovery.I appreciated the quotes at the start of each chapter. This was a wonderful addition. The dual point of view was done well and brought a high level of enjoyment for me. Grab this delightful book today! It was a one-sitting read and I was left feeling happy with a smile on my face.4.5 Diamonds
