Review: "If your best friend doesn't love you, nobody will.

Ok, I must preface this with the fact that so far I've read both of Lynetta's previous books and loved them.  Loved her characters, loved their development and loved their stories.  This one, I was completely unsure of.  Another NA book with a broken (or this one, slut) heroine and apparently a love triangle.  I went in blindly and wasn't aware of the triangle and am not always a fan, but I really liked it.  PLUS not a big reader or really interested in "cowboys/rodeo".  But...I LOVED THIS BOOK AND THE CHARACTERS.Denver says she's a slut, but she's not your average one.  She hasn't been loved and honestly, she's been used her entire life.  That's what she knows.  Greer is the best friend that is doing everything he can to stay her best friend and not step over her boundaries.  But she does make it difficult.  Then away to college we go, and here enters Ransom.  The typical badboy that also has a heart of gold.What develops between the characters is somewhat expected, but then, BANG Lynetta throws you off the course (and it did seem a little forced, but in ways, made sense) and then everything sort of changes.  Relationships change and relationships develop.  With that said, I also like miss Maggie (the roomie), Austin (the cousin) and Pete (Maggie's man).  They are welcome supporting players and I hope they still play a part in the series.  I wasn't aware this was going to be more than one book, but I'll take it."Instant gratification is highly overrated, and never underestimate the power of anticipation."Very curious where we will go from here after learning a bit of each characters past and where that can take us.  Overall, I give this a 4-4.5 stars.
