She has nothing holding her in Sunny Shores...until she meets Liam. He’s heard the stories. He knows he should stay away from her, but he’s drawn to her like a moth to a flame.

Life seems to be looking up for them...until her past comes back like a bitch slap to the face.

This book was quite a surprise for me. At first, I thought that it had a pretty good cover but was skeptical as to how it would really be, as a book. But, boy, was I glad I read this.

This is the story of how Delia, who had been living away from people for ten years--ever since she was blamed for her parents' death. Now that she's back, will she be able to break away from the bonds of the past and find that there's still life out there for her?

And then there's Liam--the guy who seems to have the hots for Delia, and who's always there for her, not even minding the fact that she's a known pyromaniac.

This book is the right mix of being twisted, and realistic. It will make you think. It will make you realize so many things about the world we're living in and that there are always chances--the only catch is that sometimes, there are things that can't work together...but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't give them a chance. Sometimes, life gives you hell--and it's up to you to know what to do.

And the ending...I have so much feels! But not gonna tell you because you SHOULD read the book. And I mean it.

Another thing I like about this book is that it's so easy to read, but it never loses depth.  It's so hard to put down that you'll probably finish it right away.

So yes, bravo to this book, and two thumbs up to the author.
