I'm being generous and giving this book two stars. It is barely worth that.Candace is a girl with a past and her past just caught up with her. On a casual date with a guy she has been seeing, a man from her past, Ryan, sees her at a bar and approaches her. Apparently, Candace (or Candy as she used to be called) used to sleep with all of the rich boys in her town as a teenager and Ryan reminds her of this fact. Candace had a horrible home life as a kid and turned to sex to feel more important. Candace is mortified by Ryan and runs out of the bar and hopes to never see him again. However, Ryan keeps entering her life in unexpected ways and she can't seem to get away from him.  As her attraction to Ryan grows, Candace tries to figure out if she can let go of her past and see Ryan for what they could potentially have together.I have to say, this book started out okay. I didn't care for the voice of the main character but I found the plot to be decently interesting. However, the book just got worse and worse as it progressed. My main issues with this book really have to do with the author's style; Her main character is an unlikeable woman and each scene is just brimming with negativity. On top of that, the author writes in a strangely detached manner. The scenes are just devoid of emotion and it makes the book feel very very flat. I felt no connection to anyone in the book whatsoever. It is sad, really, because the plot has potential. My final big gripe is the pacing. The book spans a very long time and it is done is a odd fashion; the last 1/3 is so rushed and forced.I would pass on this one.**Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
