...like this book. I really did. But it was pretty badly written, just sentences and paragraphs thrown together without any depth to them. It did seem to get better toward the end, writing wise but by then it was too late.  There was so much missing and yet the book had great promise.  It is a good story line but it just didn't gel for me.  Maybe it was written too quickly but there was just nothing deep to draw you to understand these people.  I wanted to smack the heroine so many times, I can't tell you. If I'd been holding a paperback instead of my Kindle it would have been thrown across the room. Sometimes she was too stupid to live. Talk about issues? Oh my gosh, she makes most immature, emotionally messed up people look strong. And stupid-gone-to-seed choices? What about being stalked but talking your bodyguard out of watching you?  Dumb.And so many things happened that were a bit unreal in the story or not well thought out.  Hero says, "I can't be there because I have to go to a meeting." Then she freaks, calls him and he shows up to help and there is no more mention of the important meeting or his work or whatever important thing it was that was keeping him away. It's like "oops, we forgot we wrote that he couldn't be there."  THAT drove me crazy several times.Eh, buy at your own risk.  It's not a bad story but it's not quite a well-written, heartwarming, good story worth $3.99.p.s. since I'd already purchased it, I read the second book in the series, Sweet Ride. I didn't even want to start it but I did want to know Payton's story. It's better, feels more "mature"
