My review:

If you have not read the first book in this series then you HAVE to read it before you read this one. This book starts right where Relentless leaves off. Claire becomes conflicted about the adoption and Chris' need to find the baby causes Claire to go to this dark place. She starts to punish herself and doesn't feel like she deserves the love that people are trying to give her. She has many issues that she needs to confront. We also learn more about Chris and the fact that he never moved on from Claire and wants her back. Adam, who loves Claire very much, takes a job for his dad and leaves Claire with Chris. There are so many emotions in this book, plus there is a huge cliffhanger at the end!!!

"Sometimes letting someone go is the ultimate act of love."

In Relentless, college student Claire Nixon and surfer Adam Parker each had a painful past too heavy to carry alone. Claire tried to push Adam away, but Adam's relentless pursuit of her heart and her secrets made her walls come crumbling down.

But now Claire's attending college a hundred miles away from Adam. With their new relationship already hanging by a thread, Adam is sent to Hawaii on business.

And Claire's first love, rock star Chris Knight, is back in her life.

Chris wants his ex-girlfriend back. Both he and Claire know that only Chris has the power to mend the final missing piece of Claire's shattered heart. But Claire's strength is tested as she is forced to confront the demons she's been running from for more than a year.

Now Claire must choose between a long-distance relationship with Adam and a second chance at true love, family, and home with Chris.

My favorite quotes:

“The quickest path to self-destruction is to push away the people you love.”

“Why? Why do you have to leave?” “Because sometimes you have to suffer without the things you want now so you can have everything you need later.”

“You’re my mess, and that makes you a beautiful mess

“You’re mine, and a piece of you will always belong to me the same way a piece of me will always belong to you.”

My Rating: 5 Stars

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!

"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.”
