I really liked this book. I had heard good reports about it and I wasn't disappointed. It was a great love story with moments of heart stopping angst that really tugged at my emotions. It also had its share of sexy moments with the fun banter between the two. "Rain. Jude. Me. Kissing. Stick a fork in me because I was done"Both Jude and Lucy had been through so much already in their relatively young lives that I felt for them from the beginning - two tortured souls, drawn to each other like magnets..."For no reason at all, it was like I felt my soul surface in a typhoon, begging me to take notice and follow after that moment of serendipity"but repeatedly torn apart by trust issues and lack of belief in themselves and each other, and the deep need of Jude to protect Lucy from himself.I admired how Lucy dealt with situations at her new school with wit and sarcasm and didn't let it get her down and Jude was always there to protect her honour"He was defending my honor and, whether he was going about the right or wrong way doing so, it was the damn sexiest, most romantic thing I'd ever had happen to me"It was wonderful to see Jude start to believe that he deserved happiness and love as it was to see Lucy help him see that. "Our reputations weren't who we really were, they were who people told us we were. Some of us fell into that tray, while others fought their entire lives to break free of them""You didn't make me a better person, because no one can do that. You made me want to be a better person............You made me better Luce."I'll definitely be putting Nicole's other books on my tbr list.
