This is not a light hearted love story.  In fact, it’s kind of depressing.  Callie is only 22 and is basically a mom to her two sisters who are 11 and 15.  Her father is frustratingly stupid with life and money and Callie has not made many great decisions herself, landing herself in a 50 shades of grey situation without the love or happily ever after.  William Bailey seems like a really great guy, but let’s face it, he just needs to be needed and is WAY too controlled by the women in his life.  You really want to tell him to man-up.So Callie and Will were sweethearts seven years ago when her druggie mother moves her and her sisters to Las Vegas and Callie has to sell her self-respect to survive.  No longer good enough for Will, she breaks off their long distance relationship and comes under the domination of an aggressive Sugar Daddy.  Meanwhile, Will finds two more girls who need him (see book 1 Unbreak Me) and almost marries both of them.  Finally, Callie is back in town and just as poor and needy as before and he BENDS OVER BACKWARDS to help her.  Callie has been living off others for a while and is really hard to like.  Yes, she has been given some bad breaks in life, but her choices always end up causing others (men) to bail her out.The most frustrating part of this whole book was the secrets.  If someone would just fess up and explain, problems could have been dealt with.  That was true seven years ago and it is true in present time.  I just felt sorry for Callie, but could see she was going to blow a good thing AGAIN and Will would forgive her AGAIN.Not my favorite story and I wouldn’t rush out to buy the first one (realized it was a sequel after I started it) since it seems to be very similar in theme to this one.  The older man wanting a 15-16 year old is icky and really hard to read about.  I prefer a different theme and a stronger, less stupid heroine.I did think the author could write a fantastic love scene and hope one day she writes about something other than abused, needy girls and their long-suffering boyfriends.Some Descriptive Sex, some profanity (f-word, gd, Sh**t)Would I/Did I buy it? Yes (.99)Would I read it again?  NoWould I recommend it to friends? NoAge level? NA
