No one ever expected much from him.

Joshua Elijah Griffin, IV is on his last chance. A stint in rehab and a transfer to a new school has scared him into putting his life on track. He’s determined to live up to his family’s expectations, but on the first day of class, Josh meets a girl, and he knows his father won’t approve, but in Carrington, he sees a kindred spirit. He's willing to give up everything to be with her.

No one ever thought she was special.

Carrington Olivia Butler is ready to shine. Always in the shadows of her siblings, she goes away to college to break out of her shell. All Carrington wants is to feel special. Josh's attention is exactly what she craves, but their intense and sometimes volatile relationship is more than what she bargained for.

Josh’s demons return, and Carrington’s feelings fade, but both aren’t ready to give up hope. They give their love one last shot to survive, but hope, may not be enough.

**This book contains adult subject matter. Not intended for young readers.**

My review

I give it - 4/5

My review - I really did enjoy this story! It had loads of twists and turns that I was not expecting which made it really interesting!

This story really does breach the subjects on racism, drugs and abuse and showing you what they can do to people or to other people which I think is really great. Not doing all that but showing the readers what it's like for people going through these situations and how bad they are.

I love stories with meanings in them and this one made me cry a little it was heartbreaking! At first I thought it was going to be about a girls normal college experience but boy was I wrong!

This story is not for the faint hearted and I would recommend this to people who like stories that have a meaning in them and a warning about what things like drugs and abuse can do to you.

I really enjoyed this story and I can't wait for the next one in the series.


Excerpt


Oh, shit. He's going to kiss me. 
And, he did. His lips landed on mine, and it made my head spin. I was thankful 
for the grip on my arms, because I would have melted into the ground otherwise. His hard 
grip was a direct contradiction to his soft lips. I felt him pulling away and I followed 
seeking more contact, but his grip flexed as if warning me to stop. I didn’t have a second 
to think because his lips were back on mine, harder this time. He angled his head to the 
left, and he slid his tongue between my open lips. As soon as our tongues touched, he 
withdrew, and I sought it out. His grip on my arms tightened, but as my triceps began to 
shake, he loosened his grip. He let go and wrapped one arm around my waist. His other 
hand touched my chin to tilt it to the ideal angle in order for him to kiss me deeper. He directed this epic moment and I followed his cues. He paused and allowed air to pass 
between our moist lips, but my lips weren’t done. 
He opened his mouth and my tongue found his as I lifted my arms and wrapped 
them around his neck. I pulled him closer, and he wrapped his arms around me and held 
me tight. 
He no longer seemed in control of the situation. He reacted to my ever move. I 
was in control. 
God, it felt good.
