Our thoughts...
Struggle, mesmerized, endearing
Blurb:
How did my life get so
broken? It’s a question Lacey St. James asks herself every day. Stuck
raising her little brother in a trailer park while she works a dead end job at
a grocery store, she has a stalker ex-boyfriend, a bad reputation, and no way
out.
And then she meets Everett, whose presence changes her entire existence.
Everett is an outsider to her small community, in town for the summer house-sitting one of the grand mansions off the Mississippi coast. When he saves her in a bar one night, she’s grateful but wary of his intentions. Lacey doesn’t trust most men in her life, but for reasons Lacey she understand, Everett is completely captivated by her. He’s determined to show her that life can offer more than she’d ever hoped for, if only she believes in herself. As she works with him to free herself, Lacey desperately yearns to trust him, to move on and perhaps start fresh.
But what happens when she finds out that everything he’s told her about himself was a lie?

Review:
I have to say that I
have had a great weekend of reading! This book was really great!
You follow the life of Lacey, who has had a struggle since her father passed
away and she had to move to Mississippi to live with her grandmother. She
has to live in a trailer park with her mom, grandma, and little brother.
It starts off with
Lacey being two years out of high school. She dropped out because of some
really messed up things that happened to her. You really feel for Lacey
and your heart breaks from her story.
Things begin to turn
around for Lacey when she meets Everett. Their story of
falling in love is so beautiful, until Everett’s lies come to the
surface. You are not sure if they will have their happily ever after or
not.
I really enjoyed this
book and would recommend it to any of my book friends. It was an emotional
read that made you wish for so much more for these characters. It has
been a little over a year since it was released and I wish I would have got my
hands on it sooner! I will be checking out more from this author.
