Genre- New Adult, Teen Fiction, Contemporary, Romance

Rating- 5/5

Synopsis- "Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies…

That’s what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of just one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past that she wishes could just stay buried.

Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he’s nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn’t at all who he’s been claiming to be. When the secrets he’s been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky’s life will change forever."

Review- Hands down, this book deserve the whole 5/5.  Hoover's writing is fantastic!  I loved this story so much.  What's not to love about this book?!  I'll admit, I thought the story's events were a tad unrealistic but stranger things have happened.  Plus, Hoover's writing didn't leave me annoyed with the outcome of the events.  It was all beautifully done.

A few warnings before you read this book.  This book doesn't complete revolve around the details of sex like many other new adult books but this defiantly falls into the NA (New Adult) genre.  That's why I'm putting out a disclaimer: for mature readers only!  That doesn't mean you have to be a certain age; just know this is not a light fluffy summer read.  While the romance is a fantastic element in the book, there is way more to the story!

P.S. I've recommended this to two of my other friends who aren't avid readers and who read very different books than I do yet the enjoyed it very much!
