"The very first page sucks you into the lives of the three young people in this compelling story.... This novel flowed nicely and I liked reading the parts from several characters' perspectives.... The sex scenes were perfect. Lots of details so you know exactly what's going on but not so much where you were rolling your eyes or would be embarrassed to read the passages in public. And the sexual tension leading up to it was fantastic. This was my first book by this author and I feel confident in saying it won't be my last. I'm anxiously awaiting the sequel."
