After finishing this book, I had to take some time to think before attempting to write this review. I was totally blindsided by the ending. I didn't see it coming, at all.Sadie was dumped by her boyfriend of six years and her father was caught cheating on her mother. She decides to leave Chicago and move to Texas with her parents to start her sophomore year of college at A&M.; Even though she's sad about leaving her best friend behind, she really needs a fresh start.During registration she meets, Lisa, a bubbly blonde dating one of the notorious Johnson brothers and they strike up an instant friendship. Lisa gets, Sadie, a job at the Johnson family farm where she meets the oldest Johnson brother, Landon. He's a player with a constant stream of girls throwing themselves at him.Sadie has lost her trust in men, so she tries to hide her attraction to Landon. But, that doesn't last long. As she gets to know him, she discovers they have a lot in common. They both feel trapped by their parents' expectations and push each other to go after their dreams. Not to settle for the lives others want them to live.I liked the characters, but I didn't really feel the connection between Landon and Sadie. The story was really promising, but I think it could have been so much more, especially the ending. It was pretty shocking and story seemed to end too abruptly. I felt a mix of emotions, but mostly disappointment.*Complimentary copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*
