When things get tough or a crisisensues, should you run?  When problems arise and issues needsolving do you have what it takes to getthrough the to the clear of day?  Or will it allBREAK YOU??4 SUPER***** from The Bookista!!!!This is book #1 of the Coldcreek series.  It can be read as a standalone and has an HEA.  There is no cheating in this book.NOTE:  This book is written in dual POV which is my absolute favorite!  I really, really dislike spoilers - so if this review seems vague, that's why!I was really excited to read this book!  I had read Control You - Book #2 in the Coldcreek Series - and couldn't wait to see how Jason and Blaire got to where they were.  Blair Hayes is a nursing student and is a stickler for studying.  Seems it's all she does - or wants to do.  She doesn't go out much and has only had a few relationships.  Blair had this over-the-moon crush on Jason when they were in high school.  It was short-lived as Jason does something to really hurt her - only he doesn't realize it at the time.  Blair is a loyal and trusting person.  She gives and gives and when she can't give anymore - she gives again.  She is always thinking about everyone else and really just focuses on her studies.  She's that amazing girl-next-door that has no idea how great she is.Jason Bryant is a psychology major and is attending college a few states away when he gets the call that his grandfather was very ill.  He, immediately, comes home because he feels he just can't leave his mom to deal with all of it.  Jason has some making up to do in the small town.  It seems he ran - or what looked like running - years ago when there was a similar crisis.  He was younger, immature and really just didn't want to deal with it all.  Jason really is a great guy - he's grown a lot in the few years he's been gone and he's even considering staying around.  Jason is the hot guy everyone likes but he sometimes seems unapproachable.The ironic part - Jason thought of Blair as unobtainable and Blair had the enormous crush.  Blair uses an opportunity to  tell Jason what she thinks of him and he's floored that she felt that way and floored regarding his actions back then.  He can't get her out of his head and he thinks she's till the same sweetheart he used to know in high school only now - she seems that much more unobtainable."Damn him.  It was like sophomore year all over again and my stomach was filled with oversized butterflies in his presence."Jason can't stop thinking about her.  He's used to getting pretty much what he wants, although not a total alpha, and what he wants is to get Blair Hayes to go out with him.  He is sorry for what happened and wants her to get to know him.Blair is a stay-home kinda girl.  She never, well hardly ever, goes out and definitely doesn't have many dates.  But after seeing him and having him ask her to dinner - she can't get him out of her head either.  I could really feel the shock and terror she had when she finally realizes that he wants to take her out.I really got a sense that Blair was nervous because she didn't go out often but also because she was nervous about the man he'd grown up to be.  Was he going to reel her in, use her, then be done with her?  Was he the man everyone in town said he was?  He ran off before - will he do the same to me?  She was extremely conflicted.  Jason was just a persistent as a Jack Russell needing his toy.  Things get super exciting as they start their relationship!!"I could tell she was struggling to hold them all in, to control how much she revealed to me about the way I was making her feel.  This turned me on.  I wanted to force her to let loose, to get so involved in how I was touching her and what I was making her feel that she forgot about the noises she made or the expressions that flitted across her face after each one."And I do mean they type of excitement that causes goosebumps and causes you to scream 'OMG' while your kids and husband look up to see what's the matter!!  Their relationship progresses pretty fast but because of the circumstances, it never feels fast.  The issues that the two face are real life decisions and that makes this book even better.  It's terrific characters dealing with real world issues and having to make decisions based on what is best for them.  How to move forward?  What to do now that they have these problems and what is the best course of action to get what they both need.  I truly enjoyed getting to know Blair, Jason, and the secondary characters.Jennifer Snyder, you did it again!!
