This book hooked me from the very first pages and only continued to get better. I read this in one sitting and was sad to see it end. Then I found out that this was the authors debut novel and I was blown away.Sophia is broken and tired. She just wants to forget her past and create a new life as a new person.Corbin is full of secrets that he keeps locked deep inside that not even his sister or best friend know about. He's super protective of his sister Gaby and refuses to walk away from his abusive father.When the two meet they are instantly drawn to each other because they see themselves in one another."It's a f-ing tragedy," he murmurs against my skin, lightly kissing my neck. "What is?" I don't mean for it to sound like nothing but air but I'm concentrating too much on containing myself. "You and me, sweet Sophia. Nothing that feels this good ends well."The sexual tension is high in this one. As is the hatred I felt for Corbin's dad and and Sophia's parents. Later there was redemption and understanding but for most of the book it was pure hatred.There was a perfect amount of drama/angst without pissing me off too much. There's a bit of a twist regarding a connection between Sophia and Corbin but even the way that played out was good.I loved the secondary characters as well. Even Kayla was somehow likeable. I'm thinking we'll get to know them better in future books, particularly Riley & Gaby.I just wish that it had been a little longer. I have so many unanswered questions about Gaby & Sophia's parents. I'm assuming we'll get answers in the next book?Overall this was a great book and a really amazing debut novel that you should read ASAP. I think you'll want to keep an eye on this author. I see great things coming.*I received and ARC from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review
