Final exams and end of year parties don’t seem so important at your brother’s funeral.
Two short weeks, and Meg would have survived her senior year relatively unscathed. But when her best and only friend—her brother—dies in a questionable road accident, being the loner in her year doesn’t fit as well as it used to.
One act of kindness from the man her small town isolated amidst rumors and lies, and her hope for a day where pain won’t overwhelm her doesn’t seem so far-fetched. Brett Carver is trouble with a capital T, but he’s also the only person who can get Meg to let go and smile.
Some good things are never meant to last.
Arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, the man who finally found a way to bring light back to her dark days is ripped away when she needs him most. Determined not to lose the only good thing to have come out of her year from hell, Meg sets out to prove Brett isn’t guilty. But first, she must accept the ugly truth …
… that the people who can prove his innocence are the same people who will do all it takes to keep them apart.
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
This story tore my heart out in the beginning and shredded it at every turn. Talk about two kids that lead very different lives realizing they have more in common than they could every know.
Megan Andrews was one to march to her own drum. She didn’t conform to what others were doing. She wore different clothes and was a loner no one understood well except for her brother she could be herself around him he understood her. One day, one split second, one accident everything is taken from Megan her world is shaken turned upside down and now she has to figure out how to pull through and move on at seventeen. On this night she finds herself next to the town bad boy and starts making decisions for herself. All may not be good or the right ones but they are hers to make.
Brett Carver has a reputation the entire town knows about he is his father’s son is the general conception. Carver has never had a sunshine and flowers kind of life not when his dad is John Carver.
I love how quickly Brett and Tanya bond with Megan. They take her in and give her the moral support she needs. To see a side of Carver that most don’t get to see is heartwarming. My heart breaks for the say Megan is treated by her parents the ones that should love her unconditionally and support her through this hard time. The twists and turns this took me on it broke my heart, put some pieces together, broke it again, started putting it back together only to shatter it all over again.
Max is the author of dark, and highly emotional romance. Her Butcher Boys series is centered around a group of ex-street kids who have teamed up with an indebted motorcycle club to take down a notorious drug lord. Her newest series, the Fallen Aces MC, is a spin-off from this dark and dangerous world. Her writing has been described as ‘gripping’, and ‘addictive’, taking you on an ’emotional roller coaster ride’.
Originally born and bred in New Zealand, Max now resides with her family in beautiful and sunny Queensland, Australia. Life with two young children can be hectic at times, and although she may not write as often as she would like, Max wouldn’t change a thing. When she’s not engrossed in her dark and twisted fictional worlds, she can be found enjoying the outdoors while 4wd-ing with her family.
