No one ever expected
much from him.
Joshua Elijah
Griffin, IV is on his last chance. A stint in rehab and a transfer to a new
school has scared him into putting his life on track. He’s determined to live
up to his family’s expectations, but on the first day of class, Josh meets a
girl, and he knows his father won’t approve, but in Carrington, he sees a
kindred spirit. He's willing to give up everything to be with her.
No one ever thought
she was special.
Carrington Olivia
Butler is ready to shine. Always in the shadows of her siblings, she goes away
to college to break out of her shell. All Carrington wants is to feel special.
Josh's attention is exactly what she craves, but their intense and sometimes
volatile relationship is more than what she bargained for.
Josh’s demons return,
and Carrington’s feelings fade, but both aren’t ready to give up hope. They
give their love one last shot to survive, but hope, may not be enough.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
****I received an arc in exchange for an honest review****
This is definitely an emotionally charged read, its not a sweet romance as you would expect, but emotional and gritty.
The storyline was fantastic and the characters liked.
It was a read that was easy to follow, there were some traumas within the book and you are pleasantly surprised.
Another good book by this author and I'll look forward to the next in the series
Excerpt :
I got up to
get another cup when my phone rang. I crawled back under the cover to find my
phone. I answered it, but it wasn't Josh.
"Oh, hey.
I didn't think you would answer; I was going to leave a message."
It took me a
minute to place the voice, but the smile spread across my face as I pictured
his bright blue eyes and gorgeous features on the other end of the phone. I
kept my voice neutral, but if he could see my face.
"Jackson."
"Yeah,"
he
said and laughed. He sounded adorable and a little drunk, "Happy New
Year."
"Not
quite."
"It is
here. I wanted to be the first to wish you a Happy New Year."
"Why are
you so obsessed with who is first and who is second?"
He grunted and
laughed out loud, which made me cover my mouth or let out one of my notorious
snorts.
"Happy
New Year, Carrington," he said.
I removed the
phone from my ear to avoid bursting an eardrum.
"Where
are you?"
"I was at
a party, but heading back to the frat, now. Our last night to go crazy before
we're on lockdown before the bowl game. I wish you were here. I have no one to
kiss at midnight."
