Huntley Morgan moved across the country to attend a small university after personal tragedies and trauma, hoping for a fresh start. Her encounter with Grayson Carter was... shocking. Grayson is the star of the school football team, and the local manwhore, with plenty of girls willing to warm his bed. But he has secrets and needed to keep his family together, and Grayson found himself fascinated by Huntley, both of them damaged and not willing to trust, yet drawn to each other. When tragedy struck again, do they have the strength to go on?While the story was emotional, It seems the author simply piled on everything bad on poor Huntley... I counted at least NINE tragedies that had befallen Huntley in this book, where most books stick with one or two. This may be some sort of a record. (She ended up in the hospital TWICE) Yet despite all this tragedy, Huntley still managed to come across as "hauntingly sweet"... WHAT?!?
Grayson... I honestly don't feel anything for him at all. It's basically almost stereotypical "bad boy"... at least at first. Later his more... sympathetic qualities started to show. His own tragedies pale compared to Huntley's, but no less haunting.
My problem is... these two characters just feel so... passive, not attempting to seize life by the horns and whatever, and things just keep happening to them and they react. And their families don't react right. However, I'm not going to spoil the story.
Still, the emotional pull is good, but the story just felt... overly melodramatic.
