My Review
When Luke left, Shayne was destroyed. She never found out why he left, which made getting over him even more difficult. She comes home for her aunt's funeral and runs into him again. Understandibly, Shayne is not happy to see him because she wants answers. But the part of her is happy that he's back in her life. Luke has been equally devastated about losing Shayne but there is a secret that he's been keeping.
The tension between these characters kept me turning the pages. I was rooting for Luke to win Shayne over and for the secrets to be revealed. Thankfully, they were but some things just won't go away. I enjoyed this book and feel like it's a great debut novel from Kathy. I'm looking forward to reading her next one! 4 out of 5!
