**A copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.**I want to start by saying Thank You to the author for asking me to read and review her book. This was quite the GEM. I was intrigued when I read the blurb, but didn't really know what to expect, since I had never read anything by this author. I will say I was pleasantly surprised. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was so much more then just a NA love story, where a broken girl meets a boy and they get together. This time yes we have a broken girl, but she is also the player. Yes she meets a good looking bad boy, but there is so much more to him...he has a secret. Yes they get together but there is so much more to them and their relationship. This story was a great love story but with the element of suspense. I just knew that Jaxon was hiding something...I was thrilled to learn that I was right all along :). This book will bring out many different emotions in you will reading it, but to me that's what makes it a 5 star book.Tessa and Jaxon were great characters in my opinion. Yes Tessa was a broken girl but she was still a strong little spitfire. I truly enjoyed that she had a specific belief when it came to who she associated with and she stuck to it. No matter what it cost her. There was one part that I wanted to throttle Tessa. She comes from a horrible family unit. After her family suffers a tragic loss her parents, who of course to NO blame whatsoever, pretty much shut her out. Plus there were other things that happened in Tessa's past that would make anyone not trust people, but at one point that lack if trust really screwed things up. You'll need to read this book to know what I'm talking about. Now....as for Jaxon. He was great!!! I know he was keeping something but he truly didn't want to but had no choice. Jaxon was such a sweet man and you could totally tell that he was completely in love with Tessa. I loved that he refused to have sex with her until it truly meant something to her and wasn't just another conquest. But let me tell you that when they do finally get together....it is HOT!!!! I also loved the pace that the author takes their relationship, it made it believable.As for Piper and Ryan ( Tessa and Jaxon's bff's) I loved their characters as well. I would love to get their story because I really don't think it is finished.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a love story with a little bit of suspense and a story of learning how to trust and love again. I am excited to read more books by this author.
