In Too Deep

Rate this book
Gifted computer hacker Taylor is in over her head.

When she transfers to the prestigious Wilbrook Academy and begins working a case with scrumptious nineteen-year-old martial arts instructor, aka manwhore, Colt, hanging out with him becomes a necessary evil to get the job done. But resisting the bad-boy that is so off limits might be more than she can manage. He's one of those guys you just know isn't good for you –he can–and often does–have any girl he wants.

The deeper she gets involved in a troubling field assignment, the more she finds herself relying on Colt. If she can just figure out how to do the right thing and not fall for irritatingly hot Colt in the process, life can go back to normal. Baby steps.

IN TOO DEEP is a mature young adult contemporary romance told in dual point of view. It is book one in a series. Book two, TEMPTED is due fall of 2013.

325 pages, Unknown Binding

Very interesting story , a boarding school , spies training but most of all A love story .

I fell for Colt from the very beginning , i might have a thing for bad boys , oh god he's hot , this is the first time a young adult book (clean) made me that hot and bothered , i still am catching my breath .

There was a little problem though : the main storyline romance was really good but the spies thing was inconvenient , the assignments , training , the very secretive school but also very open , bad policy , the almost no rules and students can just leave if they want ?
And more other things , i get that it's more romance than any other genre but if it had more mystery , action or something it would have been the best book i read this year .

Don't get me wrong i gave this book full 5 stars rating and put it on my favorite shelf , i simply love this book , just a little constructive criticism for an even better book next time .

Give me more please i need TEMPTED like now (Sad/Greedy face) .

I really enjoyed this story!
It was a refreshing break from stories I've read so far.
The main characters of this book are Taylor Beckett and Colt Palmer.
Taylor is a somewhat shy,17 year old girl, who's received a scholarship to attend the prestigious Wilbrook academy.
She got in through her computer hacking skills.
Her intentions were just to see if she could pull it off, but after having her heart broken by her boyfriend, Wes, the idea of going away to school sounds extremely appealing.

 photo image_zps1845d564.jpg

Wilbrook Academy is not what it seems and head master McAllister is fully aware of Taylor's computer hacking abilities.
It's the reason he's offered her a scholarship to his school.
He wants to use her skills for his own benefit.
The academy seems to be some sort of training school for future Secret Agents.
Think La Femme Nikita goes to High School.

My favorite thing about this book was, wait for it -- Colt Palmer!!
He's beyond gorgeous and the resident sex god or "man whore" of Wilbrook Academy.
He graduated the academy a year earlier and is now one of the instructors at the school.
The moment Taylor and Colt meet, there is magnetic chemistry.
Taylor's heard all the gossip and seen for herself the way girls throw themselves at Colt.
She's attracted to him, but she's not about to put her heart on the line for a guy like Colt.

In the moonlight streaming in through the slats in the barn, I admire his broad shoulders and sculpted pecs leading down to six-pack abs and lean hips. To put it mildly, he won the genetic lottery.. - Taylor

Colt is just as affected by Taylor.
Her innocence and knack for calling him out on all his crap, really affects him.
He's closed off himself emotionally and has only had sexual relationships to help cope with the pain he feels from a major loss in his life.

The story briefly covers the whole secret agent in training aspect but the focal point really is about the growing attraction and feelings between Taylor and Colt.

There wasn't any sexy time in this one and that was fine by me.
Colt and Taylor take their relationship slowly and that was fine by me because the sexy make out sessions were HOT enough for me. :)

I lose myself in Colt, all common sense, all self-preservation flying out the window.

I am anxious to see how their story ends.
Looks like we only have a month to wait for book 2 !!!!

*requested ARC provided by author for honest review*

Let me preface this review by stating that there's nothing I hate more than writing less-than-stellar reviews on any book that I read. Period. Not to mention, a book that an author kindly provided for me to review.

Based on the brief synopsis, I was so sure that this book would be one of those auto-love books for me. I kind of had specific expectations for this book (and how the story would play out) before I read it, so maybe that's where it all went wrong.

MY EXPECTATIONS: hot trainer-trainee chemistry, slow-burning buildup, passion, and sexual tension à la Aiden & Alex in Half-Blood. Action packed scenes with interesting hacker/spy elements thrown in (because why WOULDN'T that rock my socks off?); and a whole lot of witty + swoon worthy dialogue with (at least) semi *logical* character development.

ALAS, REALITY: this book was by no means bad, but I think it mostly boils down to one's preference. However, I would like to mention that the author's writing style was incredibly engaging as I was invested in the story & did enjoy some of it.

I mean, the initial set up was (though cliche and somewhat predictable), something I was looking for. The innocent "good girl" with an edge, paired with the "bad boy" with a haunting past seemed like just the thing I was craving. In other words, or word: DELICIOUS. You know what they say about good girls and bad boys. . .

So the set up drew me in initially, but I think the characterization kind of fell into that trap of the whole good girl v. bad boy binary we so often see in YA/NA literature. Frankly, the "progression" of their relationship was very predictable. Additionally, the whole "insta-lust" factor didn't really help build a strong enough connection for me to actually believe their "intense" emotions for each other...

Also, I felt like there were some pretty unnecessary, filler scenes, e.g., "fight club," "geek party," Taylor's trip home, and so forth. Not to mention, I just COULD NOT understand WHY Taylor was SOOOOO attracted to Colt, when (1) she knew how much of a slut he was, and (2) she clearly had trust issues stemming from her own dark past (which should have been further elaborated).

I also felt like the whole plot was largely focused on Taylor and Colt's relationship, than the reason why Taylor transferred in the first place: her crazy hacker skills! Regardless, if the chemistry btwn the two main leads were off the charts, I wouldn't even be complaining, because let's be real: I was mostly in it for the romance anyway. But I think overall, both the romance and the "action" fell a little flat for me. . .

However, toward the end, there were some very interesting developments that made me really curious to know what would happen next! I just might pick up the sequel. And by the looks of it, there were a lot of readers who enjoyed this one, so like I said, it probably boils down to personal preference with respect to the "romance" between good girl & bad boy. It was very insta-love, a bit juvenile, and kind of like that ultimate fantasy wherein, the big blue-eyed "good girl" changes the rugged "bad boy" and his manwhoring ways through her innocence. So yeah. If you're into that, then this book might just tickle your fancy. I just couldn't get around to really feeling this one.

Breath of fresh air with an original story that took me out of my element.

17-year old Taylor Beckett has a gift; she is a talented computer hacker and after hacking into a prominent boarding school’s testing system and cheating, she receives a full scholarship. When she is called into Dean McAllister’s office on her first day, she figures she has been caught, when in reality she was selected to be a part of this school because of her hacking skills. That’s because Wilbrook isn’t all that it seems.

“I couldn’t concentrate on other girls until I had Taylor. She was like a drug to me. I’d had one small taste and it was nowhere near enough.”

Enter sexy martial arts instructor Colt, who Taylor is partnered with for her first field assignment. Colt quickly becomes more to Taylor than just a partner, when she starts looking forward to spending all of her time with him. But Colt doesn’t “do” love. He is known as the manwhore of the school and likes it that way. Will Taylor be able to break through Colt’s walls or will he end like the last guy that broke her heart?

“I’m sorry Taylor. I’m sorry I’m not the guy you want me to be.”

I am secretly in love with anything to do with espionage, so imagine my surprise and delight when this book took a completely different turn than I had expected. I loved the instant chemistry between Taylor and Colt, which had me rooting for them to come together throughout the whole book. Colt is the ultimate cocky, sexy, bad-boy, who knows what he wants and usually gets it.

I rate this book 4 stars :)

This was just too YA for me! It sucked. She kissed his brother, he called an ex over for sex, he thought about sleeping with Bria, an ex of his whole they were in London and I just hate teenager angst. No sex in book except they kept running into all his ex-hookups and it was gross. Just not for me and the only cheating is her kissing his brother while he was in London with his ex Bria. She slept with him one night and he was tempted but nothing happened. Just teenage drama. Can't deal with it. Again personal opinion. I shouldn't have read this.

Where the hell are my boxers? I am a goner. My innocence was stolen here.
Just first sentence and I was taken, crazy hooked. From this point you know, there is a bad boy! Who does not love bad boys? They just work its magic on you and soften your heart. Yes, he is gorgeous and nothing less!

So figures, first, it hooked me with an opening line that intrigues and made me want to know more. And here is the next thing - the storyline. We see from the very first page that the author has a great story to be told.

Seventeen year old Taylor is moving to elite Wilbrook Academy for gifted teens. How she got accepted? Hm, did I mention she is talented computer hacker? No? Well, now you know.

Meet Taylor

description

She is definitely a badass… braking testing system and cheating, messing with ex-boyfriend accounts and personal files because he dumbs her? Bring it on! Yeah girl! That was hilarious! Even more difficult than her hacking assignments is learning to trust her feelings and go with the flow. She is trying to figure out if she actually wants to fit in and survive her first year or get herself kick out. Wilbrook isn’t all that it seems.

Well, now meet Colt, the aka badass, sex on a stick

description

Colt’s gorgeous and he knows it. Lord help me. He definitely is not a pussy-whipped fool. He won the genetic lottery. His hair is a tousled mess all the time. He looks like he could have rolled out of bed with that hair. All at once, he’s cocky, charming, polite, stubborn and bad, oh so bad. The effect is sexy as hell. I nearly drooled my laptop. No joke. He is kind of man who makes you feel warn & fuzzy. The one girl can dream of, and I am gonna definitely dream of this sexy devil.

The characters, it’s safe to say, are not the only highlights of this book. The concept of school was unique, intriguing and very refreshing. I want to go back to school like this. I am super jealous here.

Book is written in Ping-pong POV , which surprisingly are not disturbing at all, actually quite refreshing.

Tempted (the next book) will be released November 4, 2013. I am not huge fan of series, but with this one I cannot express how eager I am. Thank you Eliza .

Now everyone gets your hands on the book, I'm sure you will love this story…

I like it so much; Cold is the kind of guy I love to read about: the classic bad boy with a story than makes him human. With 19 years old he represents one of the best fantasies of every young girl, and to make him better, he is also the Martial Arts Teacher, that means he has to touch to teach the right positions (Just imagine Private Classes!!!!)

Then also we have Taylor, a 17 years old hacker, who playing an afternoon with the system security of a school for special talented people ends winning a scholarship for it and getting the attention of the hot Cold. This school is like a CIA boarding school but a little less governmental, so knows the consequences of your scholar projects could be impossible...

I think is a little short of scholar classes, is like a spies academy but only one assignment is described... Well, in general is a very good YA book and I'm mad for Temped!!!
PD: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow.....just wow. I'm so speechless. This book was soooo incredible, and I loved it so much!

I was given an advanced reading copy for this book, and I'm so thankful that I had the chance to read this before others, because it's one of the best books I've ever read.

I loved the characters and how well they interacted with each other. Taylor and Colt are adorable, and I loved watching their relationship develop. There were some scenes that were so enjoyable and funny that I couldn't stop laughing. One example was the tattoo Colt said he had thought about getting. ;)

I just really loved this story. I can't wait to read the next Tempted and I hope one day to have a hardcopy of In Too Deep on my bookshelf. Thank you, Eliza, for writing such an incredible story. (:

I wasn't sure when I saw this as a ARC, but offered to read for a review and am so glad I did! I like YA books, but not always into the action-type books. Taylor was escaping (although not sure this is the escape she wanted) life at home and was a talented hacker who worked the system to get into Willowbrook. She finds others with some sketchy talents as well and ends up deep in more than an education. I LOVED COLT!!!! There was just enough steam, heartache, and conflict to make it hard to put down. The other characters were interesting as well and the story was well written...I am ready for the next one!

I really loved this book, it had me hooked right from the very beginning and I could not put it down until I was finished!
This book did it for me with Colt, who doesn't love themselves a bad boy and an extremely HOT one at that! Cannot wait for November now so I can see what happens next with Taylor and Colt and interested in seeing what Colts little brother will be like!

In Too Deep wasn’t quite what I expected… it was much, much better! I was expecting something a little more spy-ish and while it did remind me a little of Francine Pascal’s Kill Game, it was so much more.

What I loved about this book, and what made it so captivating, was the development and growth of not just Colt and Taylor’s relationship, but each of them as individuals. This is not an instalove romance. Colt and Taylor did not suddenly change their ways, but throughout the book they do begin to question why they act like they do, mainly Colt. They also explore the boundaries of their relationship, testing what works for each other and learning valuable lessons about what it means to love someone along the way. What made this even better (in my eyes) was that it isn’t something that is completely resolved at the end of the book. Colt and Taylor aren’t quite sure how they feel and if their relationship going to work out - but I loved is that they were ready and willing to try. Really, what more can you ask for?

Jane also knows how to write engaging secondary characters. Excluding McAlistar, the secondary cast had just the right depth, coupled with compelling back stories and great personalities, to give them all a realistic vibe. I adored Logan, in particular. He was so cute and such a great friend for Taylor and MJ.

However, the story’s lack of suspense and espionage had me a tad disappointed. I was expecting something with a lot more cyber-hacking and covert operations. Alas, I was wrong. Also: (view spoiler)

Anyway, I was not disappointed for too long. The characters were just too mesmerising and I had to keep reading. I definitely recommend this to all contemporary romances fans, especially those who love their boys tall, dark and handsome. This just isn’t for fans looking for a spy thriller – you aren’t going to get that here!

This book was without a doubt very fascinating and hypnotizing, because I couldn’t stop reading it, the writing in this book was addicting to say the least. The overall book was great and I definitely could have used a little more spy intrigue in this book but I’m hoping there will be more in the second. Something about intense situations just always bring out those intense moments that I love so much.

We meet Taylor as she is being shipped off to a school because she hacked into the testing site and changed her scores, of course she doesn’t’ realize that they only want her for her hacking skills. There she meets Colt, the 19 year old martial arts instructor who is there to teach her how to defend herself. But he’s got quite the reputation as the typical manwhore who uses and dumps his victims. Even with this in mind Taylor is still attracted to him but fights it for a while. But this only makes Colt want her more, you know the saying you always want what you can’t have. Boys and new toys you know!

So throughout the book she is given little missions most of them are in the computer lab hacking away but she does get to go out one time and that experience was exciting, like I said in the beginning I hope there are more scenes like this in the second book because those moments really capture you. You want to see the fighting and the drama of what could happen because after all they are in a special school where there are missions that could be quite dangerous out in the field. But the chemistry the two of them have is quite nice, there is nothing too graphic in this book but there are some great moments.

I really enjoyed the concept behind the book and the writing style of the author. Makes me want to know what the conclusion will be like. The characters were great down to her best friends in the dorm and even the villain in this book seemed to have a soft spot even though we didn’t get to see that much of him, it was the regular obsession with greed that was driving his badness.
This book was a definite good girl bad boy mentality but if you think about it how good can the girl be if she’s in there hacking up the system in peoples profiles etc., she’s obviously not that good but still has those shy qualities about her. Colt the bad boy, definite typical mom issues, but it’s still sad in a way that made you feel sorry for him, especially since he’s overcompensating for his sense of everyone leaving him and that’s why he is the way he is. I can definitely picture this as being a TV series with them going on different missions and the attraction between the two main characters and the secondary characters even shining on their own.

Overall really great book, the cover was very generic but okay and the title can go so many ways that it definitely fits the book itself. I will be reading the next one as soon as I get my hands on it.

*An ARR was provided by Eliza Jane through the YA/NA Fanatics Group, on Goodreads, in exchange for an honest review*

Also available on our blog http://www.paein-and-ms4tune.co.uk/?p...


Secret computer hacker, Taylor, is given a scholarship at the prestigious Wilbrook Academy. Wilbrook Academy is a school with only a handful of the most talented students. But what Taylor doesn’t know is they are not talented in the conventional school way… oh no, these teens are gifted in the art of espionage.

I knew I was going to love Colt as soon as I read the first line… “Where the hell are my boxers?”

Colt was the classic heart-breaker all cocky, self-assured and a complete womaniser. In the slightly clichéd way his co-star, Taylor, was the shy, but witty and intelligent female. There’s nothing wrong with clichéd though. And I was surprised by how much I loved watching this relationship grow.

I giggled at Taylor’s instant assessment and, as a result, complete rejection of Colts affections. I grinned at how crazy Colt got the more he tried and failed to impress Taylor. And I totally fell for him when he tried to change for her. Yes this maybe the slightly overdone story of a ‘Bad Boy’ meets ‘Good Girl’, who eventually changes his ways because he loves her so much but I think this is one of the better and more believably written (if a little predictable) ones.

I was a little disappointed by the lack of spying and espionage. At one point they go on a case but I felt it seemed slightly staged, as if it was more for a way to push the two characters together, rather than an integral part of the story.

I supposed what I am saying is, I just didn’t see enough on the spy front to warrant it being an important part of the synopsis. This story could have been based in a zoo and I wouldn’t have cared as there was so little outside of the relationship development I wouldn’t have noticed.

Overall, I had a mixed reaction to this book, while I loved the characters, I felt let down by the lack of substance…

So I have finally decided that,yes, I am going to review this book. I guess I'll start out with the obvious question. Did I like it or not? Yes and no. It wasn't a bad book nor did I dislike it, but it wasn't great either.

Honestly, at that time I had just finished rereading one of my favorite series who happened to have a book in the series about a hacker. I'll admit it. I like books with hackers. Sometimes. I had also been watching waaayy too much 'Arrow' so yes I blame that too.

The Cover is what REALLY stood out to me at first,though. It's a really nice cover. I don't know what exactly I love about it, but I do. Then the synopsis lead me further into the rabbit hole until I ended up in Wonderland.

I'd like to say that, it was everything I predicted. She goes to an academy and finds Colt and solves a predictable mystery,the end. It was like a hacker version of 'Mean Girls'. Sorry for all the references, but it's the truth. It was also not as funny as 'Mean Girls'.

I also thought that the main character was a bit annoying. She was pretty nosy and didn't get boundaries. Or at least that's what I remember. I felt like she wanted Colt, but was trying to pretend to be those girls that push people away.

Now don't get me wrong. I did like some of the book. I did like Colt, who was to me very hot. And the book was a little bit funny, a chuckle here and there kind. It just wasn't something I would read over and over again.

Which is why it received a couple of nice four stars. You should read it, I dare you...

First, I would like to thank the author for a free copy in exchange for a review.

I LOVED THIS BOOK. I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO LOVE THIS BOOK. I WAS NOT LOOKING FOR THIS AMAZING READ, I WAS LOOKING FOR A HALFWAY DECENT ONE. THIS BOOK WAS JUST ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! I AM SO, SO GLAD THAT I WAS WRONG AND THIS BOOK TURNED OUT TO BE FREAKING BRILLIANT! YES! *Fist pump!*

Okay, now that my little rant/fangirling is out there, I am going to explain why this book is amazing.

1) Colt. - He is perfect. I seriously have a new book crush, and I totally fell head over heels for him. He was a jerk sometimes, but when he showed a bit of his softer side, it only made his jerkish ways seem hot. The only thing I could remotely complain about are his man whoring ways... But even that brought to the story.

2) Taylor - She was believable and honest to herself. That is all I can ask for in a good book. I love books with strong female characters, and Taylor definitely gave it. She was spunky and real. The only thing with her that I could complain about was how she was always so resilient, but then she would burst out in tears at small, well smallish things, and that is honestly just me nitpicking.

3) The overall book - The way this book was written was compelling, and I loved, loved, loved how we got to see both Taylor and Colt's perspective. The idea of a school for geniuses was nice, but the author, Eliza Jane, made it come alive - especially all of the characters.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

This was a fun read, young and age appropriate. Fun, sexy characters; well written. Most believable story line in the world....no. But that's part of the fun.
Taylor is a regular high school student with regular high school drama, but with more than a little knack for computers. She's recruited to a specialized school sort of like the X-Men but without super powers. I got a little confused here cause u wasn't sure if it was a government operation or private...or maybe I just felt like it shouldn't be private cause it didn't make total sense...but again, missing the point (sorry, this is how my mind works. It's a chore.)
Anyway, everyone is pretty young, even the teachers. Enter Colt, who is a super hot man-whore, waaaay beyond his 19 years. He is drawn to Taylor and her normalness. He has graduated from the program and teaches self defense (yes please) as well as goes out on assignment.
Taylor and Colt form a strong friendship, always with a sexual undercurrent that is HOT. When they start making out...yeah. I'm so there.
And Colt starts to believe he can change his whore-ish ways, but...he's got some baggage and some secrets that could tear them apart.
I was totally into this book. It's a fairly quick read. I think a little more time could have been spent, adding to the depth of the story. But the characters do come through and I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will definitely pick up book 2!

In Too Deep is a book about attraction, and how sometimes no matter how hard you fight it you just have to give in. Eliza Jane does a good job of creating two characters that are complete opposites of each other, but feel drawn to the other.

This story takes place at a school for teens with exceptional skills. The biggest downfall I had with this book was that I didn't feel there was enough focus on the "spy" type stuff. I felt like their time at the school should have been elaborated on a bit more. I wanted more hacker scenes, and maybe a few more missions. I also wanted to know what happens while Taylor goes home during break. We get an idea, but it's kind of glossed over.

That all sounds really negative. But the story between Taylor and Colt is what kept me turning the pages. Taylor doesn't have much experience in the love department, while Colt definitely has a bit much. I did appreciate how Colt tries to behave while around Taylor. He does care for her, even though he's a man whore. There were a few twists that I didn't see coming, but overall it was a fun read.

**** ARC exchanged for an honest review ****

OMG, where do i start with this book? I LOVED it!!!! I am sooo upset that November 4th is so far away though. Seriously, this book made me laugh and was different from a lot of the books i have read. There wasn't a love triangle which was refreshing however the next book promises one with his brother none the less.

Taylor is a strong independent woman who is not afraid to speak her mind and not let a hottie walk all over her. She also was lucky to have supportive friends too (MJ and Logan)! Colt is a womanizer who questions everything he knows and debates changing for the simple down to earth hacker girl! I hope in the next book we see more about MJ and Logan or they get their own novella.

I would recommend this book for sure and i cannot wait to read the next one!!! I am hopping we get some sex scenes ;)

Happy Reading :)

In Too Deep is a YA novel. Taylor is a gifted computer hacker. She transfers to the prestigious Wilbrook Academy. Wilbrook Academy is a different type of school and the Dean uses Taylor's hacking abilities. At school Taylor becomes friends with MJ and Logan. She also meets Colt Palmer. Colt is her 19 year old martial arts instructor. He is a bit a player but Taylor feels pulled to him.
This book is written in the POV of Colt and Taylor. The first Chapter starts with Colts POV. I loved Colt's character, I was hook on the book right from the start. In Too Deep, is a sweet story that follows Colt and Taylor's relationship. There also is a little of a mystery. It's a good book and I would recommend it.

Let me start out by saying this book was a hard one to rate. I went back and forth between a 3.5 and 4 heart review, so go with that and know I leaned really close to the 4. It's a great story and one that you really must add to your TBR if you like to mix up your reading style and want to add something fun, sexy and intriguing.

"In Too Deep" is a fun YA read with a significantly different storyline. there s a sexy undertone so it definitely a higher teenage read. From the very chapter, Eliza will suck you in and leave you sitting on the edge of your seat with her next move.

2.5 Stars!

It was a nice novel, but it fell through for me at the end. The plot was fine if you're okay with it focusing on romance than her school situation and the romance was decent (though it got a bit overdramatic from time to time).The resolution was way too easy IMO and what I thought would be the climax was more anti climactic. Because of this, the novel seemed rushed at the end which is a shame since it was doing alright. I don't know if I'll continue the series, but I might consider it if I have nothing else to read.

I recommend this for those who enjoy YA romance novels and wants a somewhat short read.

Argghhh...this book REALLY bothered me. I found a lot of the plot to be amateurish and badly written. Taylor in particular got on my last nerve. She was so needy and emotional all the time. What girl (with self-respect) tells someone they're interested in to sleep with other girls and then gets visibly upset each time he listens. Are you mental? Or do you just like playing mind games in the hopes of hearing your love interest vow his undying love for you? I mean, seriously? He's a big ole man-whore. Have some self-respect, girl!

Book # 146 for 2013

You might think this book is a story about skilled teens, espionage, conspiracies or some spy game... IT'S NOT. It's first and foremost --- a love story. *Le sigh*

It would've been a better story if it made use of that initial premise - the whole spy thing was interesting, but it didn't go "too deep" in terms of storylines go. Just another teenage love affair hence the 2-star rating.

Hmmmmm...let's see...it was different...nice,short, quick read.

2.5 stars!!!

I liked Logan. He was actually a pretty cool friend. MJ not so much. She was a bit too wild for me. Both Colt and Taylor was okay. None of the characters was annyoing. Only one thing was a bit off. She shared a room with other girls and went to class with other students yet none of them ever spoke to her or did they have names or faces. Besides Bria and her friend I think the character list was a bit short.

This was good! Didn't really have any expectations going into it, but it turned out great. I just loved the motel part and when Colt started to realize it was different...Unfortunately the second book is gonna involve temptation and I'm not so into that. I'll probably leave it with the first book and draw my own happy conclusion.
