Sophia, Adam and Connor grew up together, after some events in Connor's life he moves in with Adam's family and becomes Adam's brother. Together the three of them are inseparable best friends. Then Sophia and Adam fall in love with each other as teenagers, until a fateful day that it all fell apart. Four years later, Sophia has had zero contact with either of them, they went off to college somewhere else and she enrolled closer to home. When Adam and Connor surprisingly transfer to her college and she comes face to face with them, everything changes and all of the feelings from the past come slamming to the surface.But there's a catch in the form of Sophia's insane abusive boyfriend Kyle. As Kyle becomes more violent towards her, causing her to end the relationship, he becomes erratically obsessed with her and won't let her go. When Adam and Sophia re-connect, Kyle doesn't take it well - at all. As Kyle's stalkerishly violent tendencies ramp up and Adam and Sophia's love story heats up, everything gets complicated, angst filled and romantic.Okay, so this was a somewhat frustrating and confusing reading experience for me. On the one hand, I didn't really like the main character, Sophia, her decisions frustrated me over and over. So many times while reading I wanted to reach into my iPad and smack some sense into her. The other part of my frustration is that some of the storyline felt rushed and there were threads that weren't fleshed out enough, there are brief mentions of Sophia saving Adam at some point but its never really explained.But even with my frustration, I still couldn't stop reading. I really honestly wasn't sure how this book was going to end. I was on edge, I was frustrated, there were moments of profanity laced yelling being hurled at my iPad screen. It was great, now I need to finish the series and I can't wait to read Adam's side of the story, I really liked him - like a lot. He's so sweet and wonderful. Then with book three I get to see what happens for Conner and Sophia's best friend, Erin!! Bring it on!!Complimentary copy provided by the Author for an honest review.Originally posted on Me, Myself & Books
