There hasn’t been a book in a while that made me smile so much like this one. Such a feel good romance.
I enjoyed this book. I don't really have much to say besides the fact that this has become one of my favorite books. Thank you! I can't wait to read the second book.

I have won this book and second part in one of Give-aways on Author’s FB page, but the review is purely honest. I was not asked for it.
So, like WOW! A huge WOW. I have finished reading it like maybe 10 minutes ago and I just decided that I have to do the review like NOW. (It’s part of my New Year’s resolution: read a book – do the review within 24 hours…). I liked Ginger’s website, but I haven’t really read any of her books and to be honest: I forgot that I took part in this giveaway, so imagine my shock yesterday when I got a notification that I have won it. Amazing way to finish the 2014! I haven’t started reading it straight away as I decided that I want to read it as my first 2015 book. And man, what a brilliant decision it was. The book is simply amazing. I love Nate and Rowe (I love him more though).
The book tells us a story from 2 POVs: Rowe’s and Nate’s. At the beginning we meet Rowe, when she is being dropped off by her parents at college. Miles and Miles away from home. But she doesn’t have the nervousness of teenager starting college. There is something more, much more. She is closed, shy and …. terrified. For a very long time we don’t know why. I seriously thought that it’s like a weird love triangle where her ex-boyfriend hooked up with her best friend. How wrong I was!
And then we meet Nate. A popular baseball catcher playing for the college team. And hoping to go professional. They meeting in the hall got me thinking: year normal jock. Fun, handsome, fit and most likely overly confident. I was sceptical. But I still kept reading. And then we have his POV and I started falling. Hard. I think I loved him before Rowe, so it makes him mine, right? But on a serious note, there is so much more to him. His relationship with his brother is just amazing. I adore those to and I am kind of jealous that me and my siblings are not even near it.
I love how Ginger build their love. From friendship to being together. I loved how Nate’s most important concern was to help Rowe. Of course, he wanted her to love him, but how he cared about her made my heart melt every single time. I cried at the end of the book, when Nate told her the truth. I was sobbing so hard, my husband thought there is seriously something wrong with me.
Beautiful book. And I am so glad it was my first read for the year. And now I am off to read second part.

A friend recommended me this book. Let me say I had no idea what this book was about And when I sat down to read this story it grabbed ahold of. me and I didn't want to put it down. I literally was laughing out loud at moments and others I was straight sobbing. This book will pull at every single one of your heart strings so be prepared. Nate is definitely going in the top 5 book boyfriends. What is not to love with this man?
“It's like I'm caught in an internal tug a war with myself - my heart begging to beat from thrill, but caged by fear.”
“And then it's there-the smile. The same look she had on her face in that picture. It's Joy. And I just gave it to her.”

I Recieved a copy of this via net galley for my honest review.
I was pleasantly surprised by how in depth you get with the two main characters in this book. It starts out with the normal emotionally wounded girl goes to college runs into a hot boy. However you don't realize for a couple chapters how deeply battered the poor girl Rowe is. I mean my heart bleed for this young woman. (PS really loved the name Rowe) The main male character Nate is of course a little emotionally battered nothing like Rowe is but still. He is of course a baseball player which also comes into play with her traumatic event. He is so patient and kind while still making human mistakes along the way. The ending was really well done.
Would recommend for sure!
