**New Adult Romance. This novel is the fourth book in the Kill Devil Hills series, however it can be read as a standalone. Recommended for 18+

I received this book from the author for an honest opinion.

GAH!!  FINALLY, BEN!!  I have been dying to know why he did what he did.  I mean who fakes their death and hides from their family.  A family who loved and adored him??  WHO??  The action he takes puts such a strain on his sister that her life is also changed forever.  I mean WOW!!

We know what happened to everyone when Ben “Died” but the why of it was crazy.  Why he hides and now how he is rebuilding his life is great.  He feels cramped and suffocated in the small town he lives.  He can’t wait to get back to California and live a life there where no one knows him or what he was…..the all American perfect son.

Juniper had to run.  She had to escape the hell she is living in.  She can’t believe she has let her life get THAT out of control but now that she is pregnant she can’t and will not let the abuse touch the innocents that grow inside of her.

Ben and Juniper meet and it’s a case of mistaken identity.  Juniper is just hoping to keep hiding until she can figure ut her life.  Ben is drawn to this person who he thinks is an old friend from childhood.  They slowly start to build a friendship that soon turn to much much more.  They both try to deny the attraction but once a “truce” is called they can’t fight it.

The push and pull between the characters is crazy good.  The chemistry is so amazing and I was going CRAZY wanting MORE between them.  It was soooo good to read.  Once their pasts catch up they both have to fight what they are feeling and come clean with the other about what they want/need/desire.

I loved seeing all of the characters from the series and where they ended up in the series.
