Traditionally I stay away from college age characters  thinking they have way to much to learn before they really interest me, but this was certainly not the case.  It has been a while since I have been so involved-invested in a book of this depth, and toward the end of the book, I could hardly stand to turn the page for fear it was almost over.  Thank goodness we have Beautiful Temptation coming soon to finish up this wonderful story or I would be in a panic.  The cliffhanger will blow you away. (in a good way)Emerald is a raven hair beauty with emerald green eyes that was raised by a beautiful mother.  Her mother was little more than an escort, drug/alcoholic.  Emerald is so much more than her mother...She is smart, has offers to college on scholarship but when her mother commits suicuide Emerald spirals down the path of her mother. Emerald bombs out at NYU and has no where else to go but to live with her maternal grandparents in South Alabama. (The culture shock alone should have killed her) Well of course Emerald meets a man, Carter Black. sighhhhhhThis book was primarly all about Emerald but I suspect in book two we will learn all about Carter who clearly has his own demons. Emerald is funny, sad, smart, with a tongue that can injure with her cut to the bone responses. Do yourself a favor and read this book; you will friggin love it and I can't wait for Book II
