5 HUGE Stars!!!This book was completely KICK A**! It's not your lovey-dovey romance, and it's not your deep dark story which will keep you up at night. It was such an original story unlike other books I have read before and I loved each and every second of it. Mia (aka Paige) and Quinn were such incredible characters, and I can't help but need more, more, MORE!Mia has a seriously effed up past… actually, effed up does not even begin to describe it. Honestly, the fact that she has ended up with a good head on her shoulders is nothing short of a miracle. On the run from a past which is slowly nipping at her heels, she settles down in a small town to start her new life. No one knows her, no one knows her past, and here she can pretend to be anyone she wants to be. She quickly finds herself falling into friendships she never thought she would be able to have, and begins to feel things she has never felt before. Happiness. Friendship. Lust. Desire. For the first time that she can remember, she knows what it feels like to have a family.But there is only so long you can hide from a past before it comes back to haunt you with a vengeance, and this time its not just herself that Mia has to worry about.You cannot help but fall in love with the five main characters in this book.Hank… the lovable, big hearted man whom takes Mia under his wing who she soon nicknames "Grandpa".Tabitha… the bubbly and compassionate girl who immediately formed a sisterly friendship with Mia.The HOTTIE brothers Tristan and Quinn whom are polar opposites of each other yet both still insanely sexy. Tristan is the good brother. The safe one. Quinn is the bad boy whom has a past of his own. With his lip ring and sexy smirk, he just oozes sex appeal. What I wouldn't give to be able to throw him on my bed, suck that lip ring into my mouth, and do all sorts of naughty things with him.And then there is Mia. The damaged girl who never knew friendship and love that is trying to escape from a toxic past and make a life for herself. For someone who was never shown compassion, she sure knows how to show it to those who have made themselves a home in her heart.With both brothers vying for her affections, and the undeniable electricity between Mia and Quinn, you are left wondering what will happen between these three in the end.This was a gripping story which kept me on the edge of my seat and left me screaming for more. By the end my heart was racing and twisting, and I was ready to throw my kindle across the room so that it would smash into a million tiny pieces. I love Monica James for writing such an amazing story that I was unable to put down, but I absolutely HATE her for making one of the WORST cliffhangers I have ever read. Waiting 1 hour more to find out what happens to all the characters would be torture enough but to have to wait an unknown amount of time is just mean and sadistic! I am convinced Ms. James has a little piece of the devil in her. That is the only logical explanation I can come up with as to how she could leave us hanging the way which she did!!!!!Brilliantly executed! A MUST READ for all!
