Oh be still my beating heart this book sigh was so amazing I'm still feeling emotional after reading it. This book was sooo good I didn't want to stop reading it and pretty soon I reached the end of it and that ending got me all kinds of emotions. I just loved Evie and her southern charm and her willingness to not want to give up, but this poor girl had it bad for Rhett and so did Rhett even though he wanted to keep Evie at arms length, but soon that was being tested. I just love Michelle's book's her writing has a way of drawing you into the magic of her storytelling. I would definitely recommend reading this amazing book.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book

This was a quick read, I felt like a lot of details were missing to make it more enjoyable. The MMC was frustrating, I didn’t understand why the MMC didn’t wait to finish college before leaving since she ended up right where she began

Evie Cole grew up in foster care and she spent her last few years with the Williams family and everything seemed to be going good until she learned that when she turned 18 she would be forced to become a sex trade worker for the family. Depserate to save herself from that lifestyle she decides that she will run away and live on the streets.

Rhett Daniels and his suster Mia moved in with Mr.Hayes when their parents died. He was lucky enough to escape a life on the streets and grow up in a safe place. Yet he and his "brothers" also became known as The Screw Crew and found themselves with various women and were known for one night stands.

When Evie ends up at Rhett's place working for a cleaning crew he strikes a deal with her that he will pay for her education and a place to live if she keeps her clothes on. Slowly Evie begins to fall for Rhett but when she begins to have feelings for him she knows the only thing she can save is her heart.

Will distance heal Evie's broken heart and give her what she needs to finally move on?

This was such a great book in the series and definitely one of my favorite!

I loved Evie from start to finish and I was freaking out that she would get caught leaving the Williams place. My heart broke at what she was going thru on the streets and I was hoping it would not last long. I loved her friendship with Willow and how the two became so close and were there for each other.

I was surprised with Rhett's generosity to a certain degree but because he received a helping hand I loved that he payed it forward. It was interesting watch him and understand his feelings for Evie and why he needed to remain friends only.

A part of my heart broke when Evie let Rhett know how she felt and he didn't reciprocate it. After I completely understood why she needed to leave town as she had bared her heart and experiences to Rhett.

I was happy that Rhett began to understand how he felt about Evie and that she was different than anyone in his past. I definitely knew that Evie was not in the free in clear after her mistake in L.A. I loved how Evie got to come to terms with her past and everything that came from there.

The end was great and I love how how everything turned out!

Evie runs from her foster home know that when she turns eighteen she will be given no choice but to work for her foster parents as a prostitute. Struggling on the street, Evie finally finds a job that she hopes will get her off the street and fed.
Evie wasn’t expecting to meet Rhett and for him to offer her something beyond her wildest dreams, pay her tuition, pay for her expenses, all she has to do is keep her clothes on. When Rhett sees Evie all he can think is that could have been his sister and he wants to help Evie get what she wants in her life.
Rhett fights what he feels for Evie with he’s past issues making him believe that people only love you for what they take from you. Rhett sees Evie dressed up one night and says something that he regrets, after going to her he learns about her past and it only makes him feel more for her. Evie forgives him because she knows her heart won’t let her not. Knowing the only thing that Evie can do to save herself as much as she loves Rhett, seeing Rhett with other women and to stop the hurt is to leave.
When Rhett see the deposit from Evie he knows he’s screws up the one good thing he had and for Evie it was never about the money and only hopes he can get her back and that she hasn’t moved on with someone else.
Loved, little Danny, loved her and the moment that her and Evie had. I loved Miss Sebastian and how the crew all accepts her for who she is and how she loves their angel-girls and hope that Rhett finds his bejewelled land of fantasy. An amazing series and an amazing ending to the series.
