Sometimes love burns so hot in your veins that it consumes all rational thought.
That’s why Brock and I never had a chance. I had to start my life over. College was my chance to become someone new. I changed everything about myself to fit in, but one person saw through my facade.
The attraction between Abel and I was undeniable, but I still hadn't healed from the painful secret I carried around with me. Abel struggled to get me to face my past in order to move forward. In doing so, he revealed a secret of his own; one that changed everything I thought I knew.
A secret that would bring Brock back into my life and force me to face the truth of what really happened the day I lost him.

My Thoughts: Ever since reading White Trash Beautiful back in 2012 I have been a huge fan of this author. I have not had the opportunity to read all of her work but the ones I have, never disappoint. I began reading this book and was immediately intrigued. Seemingly good girl meets seemingly bad boy who seems to be a nice guy who then turns out to be.... ok to say it was a roller coaster is putting it mildly.
You know how when you are reading a book and suddenly you wish you could reach into the pages and throttle the characters? Well I felt this MANY times during this one. I was so torn between these feelings I was having for Brock and the feelings that were growing toward Abel.
Please bear with my ramblings for one moment.... this is an extremely hard book to review without spoilers and even the slightest spoiler could ruin EVERYTHING!
So, some of the story is told in flashbacks. The reader is falling in love with Brock but also seeing that there just seems to be something 'deeper'. Meanwhile, the present day story is also being told and you meet Abel who is obviously more than you bargain for. He skates the line of bad boy and good guy so well that it frustrates you to the point of pulling your hair out. Delilah, the female lead, is troubled and running from her past.... only you really have no idea what that "past" is. You will think you do.... but you don't! Trust me, you don't.
And then, wait for it....... You are hit with the plot twist to end all plot twists. One minute you are reading along thinking everything is one way and then suddenly, WHAT THE WHAT???? What has just happened here? This can't be right?? And then you end up on the authors wall posting rambling nonsense (not unlike THIS) followed by an evening of wanting to go back and make sure you read what you thought you read. OK, so maybe that last part is just me, but you get the idea.
I think it is pretty safe to say that Teresa Mummert has earned a fan right here >THIS GIRL< !! Highly recommend.
