Savannah (Vann) Kelly's life was uprooted the summer after her junior year of High School and forced to move from her small town in Alabama to California. Not only was she leaving the only place she had ever called home but she was leaving behind her best friends Sawyer and Kinsley and the love of her life Deke Sullivan. She couldn't bare to say goodbye to him so she wrote him a note trying to explain and asking him to keep in touch.Deke Sullivan has just suffered the death of his younger brother. His parents aren't speaking to him and now the girl he loves has left him a Dear John letter. Life can't get any worse. Convinced that everyone he cares about will eventually abandon him, he becomes a man whore, wham, bam and not even a thank you ma'am. He refuses to get close to anyone but his best friend Z.Five years later Vann is moving back to her home town and hoping to pick things up with Deke again. She knows it's been a long time and they never did keep in touch, but no other man has ever compared to her first love. Vann is also dealing with some issues revolving around her occupation which may put her life in danger. Can she convince Deke that she didn't want to leave him? Will Deke ever be able to forgive the girl that left him just when he needed her most? This book hooked me in and wouldn't let me go. It is a passionate story of first love lost but also has an edge of danger and mystery to it. Towards the end as things are starting to wrap up there is a plot twist that knocked off my reading chair, I mean WOW, I did NOT see that coming!I enjoyed this book and finished it in less than 24 hours. I will definitely look for the second book in this series and give this one 4.5 stars.
