[...]I Liked ItI received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. This story revolves around Bethany (Beth) and Chase. Bethany goes home for summer break, to find her mom has left. She ends up moving in with her aunt and uncle and working at her uncles hotel. She meets Chase and sparks fly, but both of them have trouble figuring it out, but once they do, WOW.This story has mystery, heartbreak, and great characters. Some characters you will hate right off the bat, and others you will love. I wasn't at first sure how I felt about Chase, but as the story progressed I fell in love with him. Bethany seemed kind of whiney and poor me, but as I read, I really started to like her too.The sexual tension in this book is crazy and when it finally happens, WOW! I wish they would have gotten to it sooner ;)The story does have some slow parts, but after finishing the story, they didn't seem slow, but more of story building for the entire story to fit together. I am not sure how I feel about Bethany's best friend Jake, something is up with him, or maybe I'm reading him wrong, but I hope we get his story in this series.  Cindy, Bethany's mom needs a to be taught how to be a parent, and that the world does not revolve around her, and I'm glad Bethany is nothing like her mother, or I would have stopped reading this book.Once you hear Chase's story about his past, you will cry, and feel horrible for him, but he didn't let his past wreck him, and became a better person, and someone any girl, not just Bethany would love.This was a quick read for me, and a perfect summer read for lounging by the pool. It has everything a good story needs! Great writing, great storyline, mystery, sex, and hot guys! I am glad I read this book and am looking forward to the rest of this series, and any other books by Robin Shaw.
