Kalli was an interesting main character. It took a little time for me to warm to her, but as I learned more about her family life and her past, I felt I began to understand – and like – her more. Kalli doesn't "do" relationships. She does very public hookups with random guys. With an unsupportive wreck of a mother, and a history of sexual abuse, it's no wonder she has issues, especially when it comes to men. The flashbacks of abuse were uncomfortable and difficult to read. Her friendship with Scout was great and I loved her relationship with her little brothers. She may have issues, but she's a loving person underneath them all.The one person I was never unsure about, however, was Nate. I loved him. His friendship with Kalli was strong, but their attraction and chemistry was even stronger. It was apparent from the beginning that they belonged together. As obvious as his attraction to Kalli, I like that he was hesitant to get physical with her. The promiscuous girl/hesitant guy isn't one that I read much. It was a nice change from the alpha males of NA lit. (Which I *LOVE*, but still.)Rebecca Berto's writing style was a little different than what I'm used to, but that's not a bad thing. It just took me some time to get used to it. The characters and the story grabbed my attention enough that it was never a problem. This book was fast-paced, sexy and emotional read. I look forward to reading more from this author.I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
