Here are a whole lot of things that I liked about this book:I liked that the scenes were told from either Rowan's POV or Logan's POV.  And it wasn't just a `this chapter was told by Rowan and the next one is told by Logan.'  It was a scene expressed by Rowan's character and then Logan would either replay it and what it meant to him or pick up from where she left off.  It was brilliant; I was never wondering how the other felt because Finn let us know both character's feelings.I liked how Logan found out about Rowan's father and the abuse.  It wasn't something that he or his family suspected; the realization came very sudden and quick for him.  One night, Rowan calls her best friend (Logan's sister) and he picks up her cell phone and takes the call to help. It was something that he had to take and digest.I liked the deal he made with Rowan.  Anytime her father is drinking, she must stay with him.  This allowed Logan to realize there is more to Rowan than his sister's best friend.And the hot, steamy scenes together weren't that bad either ;)  hee heeThe only thing that threw me off a bit was the very fast beginning and the very fast end.  The beginning is told by Rowan and basically a run down of her life so far.  I get that we need to know the past but I felt like I just hit the ground running and was confused of which direction I was going.  Same way about the end, the story needed to be wrapped up but weeks would pass between paragraphs and it felt rushed.All and all, this book has some a very touch subject that surrounds it, abuse.  It made me cringe but it did ring a bell of truth.  However, I thought Finn did a wonderful job writing about it and how Rowan recovers not only physically but emotionally.  Finn set up a great support system, even though some didn't know what was happening, it was what helps Rowan.~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~
