Amanda Bennett did it again! I was a big fan of her book Misguided Heart and I can't wait for the second book of that series to come out. Now I am patiently waiting for book #2 to come out for this series as well! This book made me feel so many different emotions and left me wanting more. Kayla has lived a tough life never feeling loved or taken care of. Why would she? With a mother who blames her and pushes her around to a boyfriend who gets what he wants when he wants it and doesn't make Kayla feel loved like she should.Kayla James or known as KJ to her friends is a 17 year old girl girl trying to get out of Phoenix. When she was a child she had a good life. The day her dad left she had hope he would come back for her. She was a daddy's girl all the way. She soon realized that wasn't happening because he started a new family and forgot about her. This infuriated her momma which caused her to start drinking and blaming Kayla pushing her around. Texas with her grandparents was the only time she felt safe. Like she actually had a home.Kayla had a boyfriend who was known as a bad boy. Wren was nothing but trouble for Kayla but he was all she knew. She didn't have it in her to tell him no.  He didn't cherish Kayla and treat her right but she knew that Wren would not let her go without a fight. Her past with Wren would haunt her no matter where she went.Madison Raine was an 18 year old boy who became a man at a very young age. Taking on responsiblitles way too young when his mother passed and years later his father going to prison. He was a cowboy with a dream to be a baseball player to get out of Texas and be someone. Leaving his grandparents his only family in Texas for his dream would be one of the hardest things he had to do."There is one person for everybody. You may meet her now or you may meet her later, but she will always stay with you, whether in body or spirit."Is what Madison's grandpa would say.Sometimes life has a way of throwing you a curve ball and you don't expect it. Days before he left for his dream Madison never imagined meeting someone who would capture his heart and make him feel so alive."How do you choose between two futures? On the one hand, I had a full ride scholarship to play ball in Arizona, but on the other hand, I had this amazing girl that I would do anythign to have as my own, possibly for forever."Will Kayla let Madison in? Will he leave and never look back? Will Kayla's momma and Wren leave her alone?Bravo Amanda on another great book! 5 Stars!!-Harper
