Some parts in the beginning of this book had me cringing and gasping. It's a hard look at some hard issues. I felt like screaming at some of the characters and caught myself gripping my kindle so hard my knuckles were turning white. So be prepared for a great ride.MADISON......Oh MADISON.... Ok, I must admit the name threw me at first. I just wasn't sure about a guy named Madison but let me tell you, once you get to know this character you wouldn't care if his name was Bozo. He is amazing. I mean who wouldn't love a cowboy/baseball player/lead singer in a band. This guy is everything wonderfully male rolled into one. HOT HOT HOT with a side of sweet.Kayla James is a survivor in every way. She has been broken many times but she is strong and survives everything that is thrown at her. She has walls and thinks she's not good enough which is understandable after everything that has been instilled in her head. She's not looking for anything serious; she doesn't want her heart broken again by anyone.Madison and Kayla played together on their grandparents' farms when they were small but now Madison heading off to college and Kayla starting her senior year they don't even remember each other. What happens between these two when they meet again is beautiful and heart breaking. The electricity is undeniable between them. Will they give into this thing that is happening between them or will they both walk away knowing it's the wrong time to take it any further?There is a cliffhanger at the end of this story but I have it on good authority that the next book in the series will be out toward the end of May. Thank you Amanda Bennett for not making us wait a long time, because I for one cannot get Madison out of my head. You knocked this one out of the park. You have created some wonderfully lovable characters that we can root for and also feel their pain.I promise you will love this coming of age story that has family betrayal and heart break.LOVE LOVE LOVE this story....
