This was a book that captured my attention from 2% on! I was immediately furious at Paige and I hated Craig. Pretty revealing? Well... Paige has been with Craig for a few months now and things were going fine. But isn't that how it all starts? As 'fine'? Paige is beautiful, smart, witty, she's got great friends - who dislike Craig by the way - and she's down to earth. She comes from a family with money like the WOAH and as cold as the winter midwest is having about now. Paige has all this going for her and she finds herself dating this dog. And oh baby can he be charming! But he's a jerk and we all know it from the first few pages. But someone doesn't...Paige. I wanted to throw my kindle many times in frustration over their relationship. It was hard for me to sit back and watch it all unfold. I know that from the outside things are a little clearer and sometimes it's hard to see what's really happening but why oh why would she allow herself to be treated that way? I had to keep reminding myself of where she came from...her family. Paige wants to be AND feel loved."But why did you tell her I was an accounting major?Because it sounds better than saying you're undecided, and having them think you're a moron or a slacker."Cameron is... everything she needs. Many of Craig's friends disliked him. Cameron could anger a room full of people pretty quickly - if he wanted to. But that was all a front. He's full of life and adventure. He oozed sexiness and confidence and yet was flirty enough about it, his banter with Paige never seemed like a line. Cameron was just enough bad-boy, but with charm. He was funny, smart, motivated. He's intent on LIVING life and not letting it pass him by. Cameron was used to not being sure where he was headed or how long he'd be there. When he sees Paige and realizes she's with Craig, he just can't figure out why. Especially after getting to know her more. Not only does he think she's gorgeous, but he likes what is happening inside her head as well. For the first time in a long time, he enjoys someone's company. The worst of it...she wouldn't wake up and realize Craig wasn't worth it."Some would describe me as a trust fund baby addict with a$$h@!& tendencies. I liked to describe myself as someone who knew how to live life to the fullest and had a $#*!-ton of personality."When Cameron and Paige are together, they are truly amazing. The sexual tension while she's still with Craig and guilt that consumes her because of the feelings that start to stir is crazy electric!! He sees her and there is something between them that is so strong. You could feel it in every word he would say about her or to her. As things get more and more intense in the book, I found myself reading and then taking a huge deep breath. The highs and lows of this book are amazing and when one says 'it was a roller coaster ride', well this book really is. She's on eggshells with Craig. Paige and Cameron have this tangible 'thing'. And there's so much more I want to tell you - although I really dislike spoilers, I'm not very good at keeping secrets! This book was great. I always want to FEEL what I'm reading. Not just read it and this author certainly delivered that for me. There are many scenes you read and you become more than the reader. At one point - I actually have a note in my Kindle - I felt as if I was also the character. For Paige, it was experiencing some of the emotional hardships she faced and with Cameron, having to watch it all unfold knowing what the likely outcome would be. I have felt many emotions reading this book...anger, sadness, frustration. I laughed - a lot actually! It made me happy and elated even towards the end.
