Wow! Wow! WOW!!

Aria and Holden have a story worth reading! Aria meets Holden at the worse possible time of her life, numb and barely living. She tries everything to keep him away but despite her harsh words and complete lack of manners, Holden proves to her that it's possible to be happy and laugh, and even love, again.

I could have read this book in one sitting if not for my growling stomach and a newborn with needs. Holden is the epitomy of swoon worthy and you will find yourself urging Aria to let him and the bubbly Olivia in. There's definitely something to be learned from Erica's newest work: with the right people in your life, you can overcome anything.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book!!!

The story follows Aria Watkins as she tries to move on with her life in the wake of a horrible tragedy. As desperate as she is to take steps forward, she struggles with horrible guilt and is unable to allow herself the forgiveness that is necessary in order for her to let go. To make matters even more complicated, Holden Whitmore comes along. Besides being the campus heartthrob, Holden is witty and charming and for some reason beyond Aria’s understanding, he has set his sights on her. As much as she tries to push him away and deny her growing feelings, she reluctantly realizes that he may be the key to putting the pieces of her broken life back together.

The story moves along quickly which I love (books filled with boring and unnecessary fluff REALLY annoy me) and I could not put it down. I immediately fell in love with the characters and they had me angry, crying, and laughing out loud which is not easy to do. It is the perfect blend of romance and drama with a twist...definitely a must read!!
