In this "continuation" of the Callie and Kayden series, we meet Kayden's best friend Luke and Callie's roommate Violet.  Both come from horrible backgrounds- Luke's being his father walked out on him, his mother and sister when he was little and Luke was left to help his mother shoot up because she was afraid of needles.Violet's parents were murdered while Violet hid in the toybox in the basement when she was a child.  Shuffled from foster home to foster home, Violet grew up counting on no one but herself, and also showing absolutely no emotion.Both Luke and Violet connect and slowly but surely start to trust each other and give in to their sexual tension, but just when they are about to fully commit to each other as a couple, Luke reveals something that has Violet running away from him.This book was the slowest moving book I have ever read, so slow that I picked up an old favorite and read it in between chapters of this book.If this was supposed to be a continuation of an already established series, I think the author missed the point, since her main characters had little to no interaction with Callie and Kayden.Another issue I had with this book was the fact that the main characters clearly had issues of their own, Luke was an alcoholic, and Violet was an adrenaline junkie- something that if their friends actually cared about them, would have sought getting them some help, but that was not the case in this book.This book lends nothing to the series and can be skipped altogether.
