I have to admit I wasn't completely committed to this book when I downloaded the sample on my kindle.  Just thought I would check it out because it kind of sounded like the same ole romance novel, damaged boy, damaged girl, blah, blah.  Oh my goodness was I completely surprised!  I COULD NOT put this book down.  Bought it of course and stayed up the first night til 12:30 reading and only put it down out of necessity to sleep. These are the books that keep me reading!First off, it IS NOT just your typical romantic book about two damaged souls.  It is so much more than that. Jaxson really doesn't have a bad home life besides being a little poor maybe.  He is being raised by a single mom, no father around, but she is a good mom who loves and takes care of him and eventually becomes the mom Sara needed. R.J. Lewis weaves such a completely beautiful, suspenseful tale about these two characters that you are hooked, thinking about them  all day and when you can get back to the story.I read a review before picking this up that complained about the reason in this book that Sara starts to rebel against Jaxson and that it was so stupid she did it because of one conversation about her mother.  I can see where the person in that review would think that, BUT as you read on you will understand that given her horrific experience with men leaving women and the way they treat them, that it would not take much more than the suggestion it could happen to her for it to do damage.  I must say I forgave her for that but throughout this book and ESPECIALLY book two (Burn) I kept thinking how that one action of her leaving caused the beautiful, loyal, loving Jaxson so much heartache and years of struggles and horrible things happening to him.  It was like dominos falling from that one action of hers.  And everthing bad that happened to her after she made the terrible decision to leave him was all completely because of bad decisions on her part.  I actually have more to say on book two in this series than this one.  I am so glad I didn't find this book though until Burn was already released because I would have been insane after reading the cliff hanger at the end of this book and not being able to move on immediately to book two!
