She’s broken.He’s lost.
Olivia Crawford had been through the ringer. All she wants is to start over without any complications or anyone figuring out her secrets. When her twin brother Finn convinces her to move back home and finish her degree at his school, it’s just the push she needs to start over.
Nathaniel Ford is the golden boy of SCU. He seems like he has it all, perfect family, awesome friends and fraternity brothers, and a few buildings on campus with his last name on them. But things aren’t always what they seem.
From the first time Nate and Olivia bump into each other, literally, he wants more of her feisty attitude, but Olivia throws more walls up with each step he takes closer, and he isn’t sure he can break them down fast enough.
Olivia has finally come back after a horrible year. She been through alot and considers herself “broken”. When you find out why she considered herself “broken” you can’t really blame her. Will Olivia ever be able to heal? Will she be able to love and trust again? Only one way to find out.
Nate isn’t your typical hot guy. He’s sweet, smart, loyal and is also carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. There’s a lot more to Nate than you think and his character really impressed me in this story. He was strong, loving and the glue that kept his family together. Playing this role doesn’t come without sacrifice and will he give up everything that makes him happy to keep his family together?
This is the first time I read anything by this author and I was impressed. I enjoyed the story and plot held my interests. I had two slight issues with the story. The first one was that the couple moved just a little too quickly for my taste. The second thing was while reading it was hard to tell whose point of view it was even though it was labeled. They had similar thoughts and feelings which could be hard to distinguish. Those two issues aside I found this story to be cute and an enjoyable read. It also touched on some tough real life situations. I love when you can relate to a book and everything isn’t sunshine and rainbows. I’m excited to read about Finn and Cora next!
