My Review:
The story starts with a young girl named Claire who dropped out of college after her first year due to reasons she does not want to talk about. She was raised by her drug addict mother who OD's and ends up in the system jumping from house to house.
She now lives in a house with her best friend and now there is a new tenant Adam where there is instant chemistry and playful flirting. After getting to know each other Adam tries to find out why she dropped out of school. Once Claire finally lets her guard down all hell breaks loose!!!
This book has a great love triangle, great sex and hysterical testosterone! Definitely a must read!
Goodreads.com description:
"Sometimes letting someone go is the ultimate act of love."
Claire
Nixon is a college student with a past full of secrets and
heartbreak.
At seven years old, the death of her mother by drug
overdose destroys her faith in humanity and herself as she is tossed
from one foster home to another. Feeling unwanted and disposable, she
fights to keep herself safe in the system. Until, at the age of fifteen,
she is saved by her first love, and soon-to-be rock star, Chris Knight
and his mother, who quickly becomes the mother she always wanted.
When
Claire encourages Chris to leave town to pursue his dreams of musical
stardom, both Claire and Chris don't realize this will be the biggest
mistake of their lives.
One year after Chris leaves on tour,
Claire has carved out a new life for herself in a new city far away from
the life she left behind with Chris. On a fateful morning, she meets
sexy surfer Adam Parker.
To Claire, Adam is just another
flirty customer at the cafe, until a chance encounter and seemingly
innocent comment spurs a bet between them. The bet is simple: If Adam
can get Claire to reveal the secret that made her drop out of college
and leave her life behind, she has to re-enroll. If he doesn't succeed,
she gets to keep her secret and he has to stop stalking her at the
cafe.
Claire thinks she has this one in the bag. She's
perfected the art of forgetting her past. But she isn't prepared for
Adam's relentless pursuit or for him to share his own secrets. And she's
definitely not prepared for the love of her life, Chris Knight, and her
secret, to come banging down her door one year later.
My favorite quotes:
“The relentless pull of love is a thousand times
harder to fight than the tides. If you’re lucky, you’ll make it out
before you drown. If you’re even luckier, you’re pulled under just long
enough to wash away the sorrow. If you’re really lucky, like me, you
resurface just in time to find the one you love floating right beside
you.”
“I guess that’s the way secrets are. They’re only
heavy when you’re holding them. As soon as you let go, the significance
of keeping those secrets hidden blows away and everything falls into
place.”
“With every choice you risk the life you could have had. With every decision you lose it.”

"Sometimes letting someone go is the ultimate act of love."
Claire
Nixon is a college student with a past full of secrets and heartbreak.
She was saved once by her first love, and rock star, Chris Knight. But
when she encouraged Chris to leave town to pursue his dreams, both
Claire and Chris didn’t realize it would be the biggest mistake of their
lives.
After a devastating year apart and thousands of miles of
distance between them, Claire met sexy surfer Adam Parker. With his
awful jokes and profound patience, he helped Claire pick up the
shattered pieces of her broken heart for the second time.
But now
Chris has returned and he is willing and determined to make Claire’s
dreams come true—the same way she did for him when she let him go.
With
Adam’s former girlfriend in the picture, Claire finds herself torn
between the new, passionate love she shares with Adam and the love and
family she shares with Chris.
