I received this book in exchange for an honest review.  With that being said, I really wish I had a better review to share.  I am an avid reader, and will typically finish a book, even if I don’t like it…both in hopes that it gets better and just to see how it ends.  While I do feel this book had at least SOME potential, I had to make myself keep reading it.I found the characters flat and incredibly annoying.  The main characters, Eva and Nathan, were just NOT believable.  Eva’s room-mate, Chloe, constantly referring to her as “sweets”, “sweetheart” and “sugar”...if Chloe didn’t have a boy-friend, I would have wondered about her.The story itself, especially the dialog, felt forced and unbelievable.  A perfect example, Nathan has passed out…Eva calls his best friend, James, and waits for James to show up before calling for an ambulance.  The paramedics show up, diagnose Nathan with a minor concussion…and then just leave him there, on the couch, still unconscious.  Seriously??  “Call if there are any complication”  What paramedic in their right mind would do a thing like that?  Ms. Jones needs to do a bit more research I think.  I kept catching myself correcting the way something was written, it hopes that it would sound better.  Most of the time, I felt like a 16 year old was doing the talking.  Nathan calls, and Eva’s reaction – “I wanted to jump up and down”.  WOW.  The writing used for the “intimate” scenes made the whole story even worse.The choppy ending left the door open for a sequel.  I won’t be reading it.
