This is my second rape book in two days which I did not do deliberately, they just came up on my TBR list right after each other.  This one was depressing, because not only was she raped by her father's gross older, drunken friends, but her own father was an alcoholic and her ex-boyfriend is lame.Paige and Blake were high school sweethearts meant to be together forever until she is raped at 15 years old by her father's drunken friends and runs away for 13 years.  Blake laments her disappearance, but obviously does not try very hard to get her back as he becomes a musician and gets engaged to a high society Nashville girl he's been dating for three years.  Paige has never forgotten Blake and when her father begs her to forgive him and return with him to Nashville where he can help with her own musical career, she agrees.Paige sees Blake again and becomes knowledgeable of the fact that he is engaged and must control her still strong feelings for him.  She is warned off by his very threatened girlfriend, Savannah and Paige tries to convince herself that she isn't out to steal another girl's man as she kisses him and swims with him in their underwear at her home (cause that's all kinds of appropriate!).  Let's just call a spade a spade and say she and Blake behave badly, no, they don't have sex, but they want to.  Blake is still having all sorts of sex with Savannah, while Paige is back in town, and I for one, hated that. He yo-yos back and forth between the two and you just want to yell at him to man-up. Seriously!If the "cheating" isn't depressing enough, Paige's father, who has been sober for three years, falls off the wagon and that doesn't go well.  Paige and Blake go on tour together and it's this decisions that dooms his relationship with the girlfriend, not his choosing Paige. What a dufus!I had to skim and keep telling myself these are fictional characters and I didn't really care how they ended up.  Not a series that I want to continue with and glad it was free.Some Descriptive sex, some profanity (f-word, sh**t)Would I/Did I buy it? No Free DownloadWould I read it again?  NoWould I recommend it to friends? No
