“You’re a hothouse flower,” I tell her. “You can’t grow under natural conditions. You need adventure. And security and love in order to stay alive.”

Ryke Meadows, 25, is well aware that he is difficult to love. He redefines the word nice asshole, with a billion-dollar inheritance, a track-star résumé, and an alpha-male demeanor. But he isn't in this world to make pals. Alternatively, foes. He only wants to climb three of Yosemite's most difficult peaks without any drama or interruption.

Then he gets a distressing call from a girl in Paris, a female he's never been permitted to have.

Daisy Calloway is an eighteen-year-old girl. At last. She can say goodbye to her demanding mother and resume her modeling career now that she has gained freedom. Paris is up next. Daisy reveals the industry's dark truth as Fashion Week kicks off with a bang. She tries to show her family that she can live independently, but when things go out of hand, she turns to Ryke for security.

Daisy pushes the boundaries and bravely rides the edge as she tries to make sense of her new surroundings and her freedom. Ryke is well aware that every rash deed hides a deep wound. Daisy's favorite motto—"live as if you'll die today"—might actually come true if he doesn't keep up with her.

I'll admit it: I'm not a big fan of Ryke, primarily due of his alpha male persona. Now let's say I wasn't a huge fan of this book. Daisy's point of view is fantastic, and I adore her vivacious attitude. She's gone through hell, and ryke, no matter how safe she feels with him, is regrettably a part of her trauma. 

The idea that Ryke was an adult and Daisy was a teenager bothered me. Daisy is eighteen in this novel, and the authors made her appear to be an adult, but she isn't. Daisy just turned eighteen, but that doesn't mean her mind and body react in the same way as her sisters or someone Ryke’s age.

Daisy's point of view, the Lilo, and the Coballoway scenes were the only aspects of this novel that I enjoyed. In this book, I particularly liked how Lo and Ryke's brotherhood became stronger. Everything else, though, I despised.
