Wow, I picked this up on a whim and was blown away by all the emotions I felt while listening to the audiobook which I highly recommend. This follows Tara (Taralynn) and Shawn who have grown up together. Shawn has always denied feelings for her but she has always worn her heart on her sleeve. Shawn is not about the dating life and refuses to hurt Tara as she deserves so much more. But tragedy struck and pushed them together like a pact. What takes place next turns into lies and heartbreak… Can they be saved? 

The hate-to-love tension in this book was incredible. Shawn comes off as a bad boy who’s a grump but he is so protective of Tara. Tara is a strong woman but put her heart on the line for Shawn but shuts her down. But let me tell you when the bang happens Shawn appreciates that woman with everything he has. This spice was just as fantastic. Now the plot should be illegal as my jaw was on the floor so many times. I was emotional, happy, sad and giddy throughout this whole book. What a rollercoaster!
