Synopsis:
After a horrific breakup with her long-time boyfriend, Brooklyn Caldwell is completely disenchanted with the notion of mingling with the opposite sex. Damon Williams had been everything she thought she wanted…until he wasn’t.

After a very slow start I finally got into this book and really enjoyed
the budding romance between Logan and Brooklyn. From two completely
different worlds these two faced more obstacles than most couples do in
the short time they are together in this book. I really didn't like the
ex Damon. I can't imagine the pain Brooklyn had to suffer alone for so
long.
Her heart was broken and she didn't even want to give anybody a chance to heal it.
Logan is a sweet endearing hero but has his skeletons and really loves to spoil Brooklyn.
I found that Brooklyn was very impulsive and rash a times and made some
pretty in the moment choices that bothered me. I almost felt like she
didn't deserve Logan. He saved the story for me and the ending almost
made me feel like he deserves to find somebody that will give him a
chance not judge him at every chance she gets. Brooklyn at times showed
that he was helping her with her broken heart. When they were together
at times she'd seem to really be happy with him. I felt like she was
making progress and maybe the hurt was healing slowly.
But then she'd do something harsh and I'd want to slap her again.
I hope that Brooklyn redeems herself because in my opinion she's
completely wrong. In the end I give this story 4 stars because I really
loved Logan and want to see him find happiness. Not sure I want him with
Brooklyn.
Excerpt
“Logan Colton wanted me to call him? Why? I wondered ….For the life of me I couldn’t understand the cruel joke that the universe was playing on me.
I wasn’t the pretty or popular girl that got asked out by legions of boys to prom. I still remembered the awkward years of my youth—the braces,
obscene hairdos and neon tights.
Nope, I wasn’t Paula Patton beautiful. I wasn’t on any millionaire’s long list of friends—nor did I want to be. Logan would just have to settle
for one of the women who would be more than willing to sink her teeth into his obscene fortune,
guaranteeing that she wouldn’t have to lift a finger for the rest of her natural life.”- Brooklyn Caldwell
