Okay, if I were writing this story I would have started it back when Silver was 16 years old and falling in love with Sawyer.  I would reminisce about how they met and show them getting closer, her brother's betrayal of his friendship with Sawyer, and her heartbreak at his leaving.  I would briefly describe the next 6 years of her giving up and doing her parent's wishes and "dating" the guy they wanted for her.  It needed this solid foundation for me to care about them now and it needed a deeper description of Silver's love and dependency on Sawyer and Sawyer's love and anguish over leaving her.  Honestly, these two were just kind of boring and the story needed more meat.Silver and her brother Adam are boring.  They were made that way by their conservative, rich parents who dictate their lives.  Adam is happy; Silver is not, never has been.  She was brave enough to rebel against them 6 years ago when she was with Sawyer, her brother's best friend and abused bad boy, but he left her and she caved back to obeying her parent's wishes.  Now, on vacation with her wild friend Maddie, she sees Sawyer again and the desires they had for each other in their teens are amplified, making Silver rethink her obedient ways once again.The best and most exciting character was Silver's best friend Maddie.  If it wasn't for her dynamic personality and love of life/romance, I would have given up on this story.  I did end up skimming quite a bit anyways as, really, it was predictable and too sedate. Silver really is as boring as her parents and brother and while Sawyer is a hottie, I can't understand why he wants Silver.  I love how devoted Sawyer was to his memories and love for Silver, but would have expected more interaction from him in her life before now.  It just reads like someone's personal experience and in this case, it wasn't that exciting.There are some hot, sexually tense scenes, but not enough of them and many that ended with just kissing or just Silver "getting off".  Sawyer had WAY too much self-control that made Silver not seem that desirable.  She was all over him, but he would shut it down!  Come on!. Also, there is way too much narrating by the whiny Silver and it's hard to see what the fun loving, EXTREMELY SEXY Sawyer sees in her.It's .99, so if you have nothing else to read, it is a cute, predictable short story, that really needs more: more drama, better, witty dialogue, and some excitement.  OR just read it for Sawyer.  He was hot.Descriptive sex, profanity (f-word, gd, sh**t)Would I/Did I buy it? Yes (.99)Would I read it again?  NoWould I recommend it to friends? Probably Not
