3.5

I wasn’t sure what to expect before reading this book, but it was a quick, light read. Great for summer, too.

Ashton, Sawyer, and Beau were best friends as children. Ash and Beau were as thick as thieves, and Sawyer covered for both of them. Fast forward to high school. Ashton is dating Sawyer, and Beau is the town’s bad boy. But when Sawyer is away on a camping trip, Beau and Ashton resort to being as bad as they once were. Both realize what they’ve been missing, but Ashton is afraid if she ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I absolutely loved this book! Everything was perfect, the length, the pace, the characters, the emotions ALL of it!

I must say in my eyes from chapter 1 Sawyer never had a chance.

Sawyer loves Ashton, and she loves him. Saywer, Ashton, and Beau grew up together. They were all close. Ashton and Sawyers cousin Beau were partners in crime and Sawyer was always bailing them out. One year Sawyer the town golden boy ask Ashton out without any regards to Beau.

Once Sawyer and Ashton get together she cha I absolutely loved this book! Everything was perfect, the length, the pace, the characters, the emotions ALL of it!

I must say in my eyes from chapter 1 Sawyer never had a chance.

Sawyer loves Ashton, and she loves him. Saywer, Ashton, and Beau grew up together. They were all close. Ashton and Sawyers cousin Beau were partners in crime and Sawyer was always bailing them out. One year Sawyer the town golden boy ask Ashton out without any regards to Beau.

Once Sawyer and Ashton get together she chances. She stops talking to Beau now the town bad boy, and she is perfect preacher daughter. She is popular and everyone likes her because she is dating mr. perfect. Everyone except Nicole Beau's girlfriend. Beau years later, drinks a lot and hangs out with slutty Nicole his on and off girlfriend.

It all changes when Sawyer goes out of town with his family for the summer. Ashton picks up Beau and his drunk girlfriend and drives them home. They start talking and hanging out, and Ashton can't help but fall in love with him (and lose her virginity to him) He loves the real her. The one that was his partner in crime. And Ashton wants to be carefree and less perfect.

Ashton is close to her Grana and when she passes away she runs to Beau. He comforts her and is compassionate to her. We see another side of Beau when he is with Ashton. He loves his cousin Sawyer very much he was always there for him. But is he willing to throw all that away for a girl? He goes to the funeral and helps Ashton face her Grana. The whole town sees.

Then before you know it Sawyer is coming back early. This is hard on both Ashton and Beau. She ends it with him not because she wants to, but because she doesn't want to ruin his relationship with his cousin who is like a brother to him. They are both hurting and the more she is with Sawyer the more she wants Beau.

Then one Sunday Beau shows up in church they are talking passionately outside when Sawyer sees. Ashton ends things with him but lies about the reason and says that Beau was trying to talk her out of it. That doesn't go as planned and Sawyer sees through the lies and confronts Beau.. They fight at Beau's moms bar. When Beau's mom drops the bomb that Beau's father is Sawyer's father and he had an affair.

Beau takes off. Meanwhile at school EVERYONE is treating Ashton like crap and Sawyer watches as people deface her locker, push her, pore soda on her, etc. After a week Sawyer stops it. Then Beau returns to town. Beats the crap out of Sawyer for letting this happen. Sawyer and Beau make up and he tells Beau to be with Ashton and the book ends with them together. I LOVE this book! ...more

Ashton Gray has always been the good girl. She's the preacher's daughter, who is expected to live up to her parents expectations while juggling the pretense of being the perfect girlfriend for her boyfriend. It doesn't help that her boyfriend, Sawyer Vincent, is the town's golden boy.

Enter Beau Vincent, Sawyer's bad-boy cousin. Once upon a time the three of them did everything together, and Beau was her best friend and partner in her crime. But then she grew up and both Vincent boys noticed. Ash ...more

So, I had been highly recommended to read Existence which I realised was by the same author as a book I had on my Kindle (The Vincent) boys that I hadn't got around to reading.
I thought I'd read this first, more as a fill in book before buying Existence.
Well, this certainly was no "fill in" book for me!!
I started and finished this book in one sitting yesterday and loved it.
It was everything I wanted at that time - a good escape and likeable characters and I really loved the story. Well Beau isn' ...more

4.5 stars....I really enjoyed this...felt like a cross between "That Boy" and "My Heart For Yours"... I love the chemistry between Beau and Ashton....and glad that Sawyer was still the good guy that he always was....spoiler alert....his confession to Ashton was my favorite scene with him.....admitting that he never should have asked her out to begin with, knowing her bond with Beau...I loved that the author included that....very, very well done!
more spoilers......

And the twist.....oh the twist!! ...more
