About the book:
Arianna Dubray is
nothing like the girl she left in Baltimore. Once a Prada shoe wearing, Michael
Kors bag carrying, on top of the world seventeen-year-old girl, Arianna knew
that her life would never be the same when she got out of the car in middle-of-nowhere
Montana.
Canyon Michaels is the
keeper of his own dark secrets. Plagued by his family name, he's forced to
prove the town wrong and make it on his own.
The last thing Arianna
needs is a reason to stay, but with every passing day the decision to leave
becomes harder. Once their paths cross nothing can tear them apart, other than
the secrets that start to surface and the nightmares that soon become their reality.

The review --
I LOVED this book, one
of the best I’ve read this summer. Ari Dubray is 17 and her and her family have
been forced to uproot their lives and move across the country to Montana. With
an abusive step-father, a mother who has checked out from the world, and a
little sister who looks up to her Ari has a lot to deal with in life. Ari’s
step-father trades in her nice car for a crappy truck upon arriving in Montana
and when Ari drives it to school she’s unable to get it started to leave. Ari
knows her family won’t come save her so she begins walking home and has a run
in with her neighbor Canyon. Trying to save Ari from her step-father Canyon
gets Ari to work on his farm and their relationship begins to bloom. Ari is
counting down the days until she turns 18 so that she can leave but after a few
says with Ari Canyon realizes he can’t let her go and sets out to change her
mind.
I really enjoyed the
mystery during the whole story about Ari’s past, and when it finally comes out
it’s a shocker for everyone. This book has a little bit of everything, it’s
hot, romantic, funny, and real. I quite enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more
from this
author!"
