Bia just wants a life for herself, something that separates her from her polo playing brothers. Her love of horses takes her to Colorado for college, where she meets Garrett. Despite the rumors flying around campus, Garrett finds that Bia is nothing like who her rivals say she is. He doesn’t come from the best of backgrounds, but he tried to be the best he can for her and show her how much he believes in her.It’s tough going for these two. From the beginning, school is a challenge for Bia. Not academically, just socially. People who claim to be her friends turn out to be backstabbing, rumor spreading, petty little girls who don’t like the order of things on campus being disrupted by a foreigner. Garrett struggles with circumstances not of his making along with actions made at the beginning that could come back to haunt him in the end. The decision to become involved with each other didn’t happen overnight. It evolved, and it was nice to watch them come to terms with their feelings before falling into bed together.Ms. Haygert does a wonderful job of bringing together two people who are so different yet so alike, who are willing to discover what it means to be their own person, to live their own life, to give everything they do their very best. Bia and Garrett aren’t just party-going, bed hopping college students. They’re looking for something–a place to call home, a life to call their own–and find it in each other. Their individual dreams of what they perceived to be as the road to their own happiness converged into a reality that was very different, but very perfect for them.***Received from Xpresso Book Tours for an honest review***
