Jules is all alone in the world.When her grandmother was alive, they used to make things work together. Life was tough and sometimes they could barely manage but at least they had each other. Now she is gone and Jules is in college.But her past is far from behind her. Images haunt her. Some people are looking for her. She knows she is in danger... But she still falls for Pax. He is not what she expected of a jock. Sure, he is gorgeous, but he has history too. Depth. And in another way, his past is far from over too.And now, their pasts are going to collude with their present...I don't know what I expected. More babbling maybe. But Jules is special. She has a voice that is different from most girls in books. Also, she has been through different experiences that haunts her.I really liked her voice. She was a lot more reasonable than other main characters. It's just that I didn"t expect a romance book to turn into some kind of thriller at the end. I found the thriller somewhat lacking. I do like thriller, but I need a very competent main character to uphold it. And Jules is a great romance character but she is not a great thriller character. Even Pax lacked the charisma of "the savior of the day" though he was more convincing than Jules.All in all, it was still a good book and I would recommend it. Just be aware of the drastic change of genre at the end of the book.
