Kaitlyn Woodley is a beautiful, determined, high school senior, who embraces her small-town roots and country life. She’s studious, musically gifted, and headed for a successful career in swimming. Aside from a catty group of jealous girls, who taunt her mercilessly, Kaitlyn’s dreams are well within her reach. That is, until she becomes tangled up with the handsome Pistol Black, a rodeo cowboy, who not only turns every girl’s head in the county, but also turns her perfect world upside down.

Kaitlyn’s overprotective twin brother and best friends, begin to see signs that make them question Pistol’s subtle control over her. As secrets are unveiled, they intervene to save her from a possible path of destruction. To their surprise, when best friend Brody steps in to protect her, newly discovered feelings complicate an already volatile situation. Soon, everything begins to change. Old feelings die, new feelings emerge, and the once beautiful path they had traveled over summer, begins to alter with the season.


Will Kaitlyn’s closest friends be able to pull her from the destructive path she’s been led to follow? As the winds of time blast through their lives, the loyalty toward their best friend will remain stronger than ever. They are determined to protect her, even if one of them ends up getting hurt in the hunt for safety. One thing is for certain, none of this close group of friends will be left untouched when fall breaks.

Sarah | 1 comments I have read this! It is a debut novel and it starts slowly as the authors build the characters, but once the story gets going it is a quick paced roller coaster of emotion and excitement!
I can't wait to read their next book!

I don't remember what the percentage was for the other challenge, and we haven't really been asked during this one. If you read to 80% then we'll give you full points (but only the number of pages that you have read) ☺

I'm up to 92% - I've had this on text-to-speech for most of the afternoon - (view spoiler)

Good luck!

Can you hide that in a spoiler tag please? Other people might see that before they've gotten to that part of the book.

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments These characters are driving me crazy! So annoying!


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments How do you do text-to-speech?? I listen to audiobooks a lot but would love to know how to do it for books like this one that don't have audio's


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90964 comments Mod
What do you read on? Is it a kindle or an ipad?


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90964 comments Mod
The end (view spoiler)


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments Kindle

SOOOOO annoying


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90964 comments Mod
If you go into the book, and then press the little 'Aa settings' tab at the top left corner, in the box that pops up, at the bottom there should be 'text-to-speech on/off'.
If you toggle it to 'on', go back to the book, and tap center page again, at the bottom where the orange bar is showing you how far into the book you are, you should see a little triangle 'play' icon on the left hand side. click that, and it should start reading the book to you from the top of the page you're on ☺

Yep! (view spoiler)


Rachael (classycupcakezz) | 5933 comments I guess my model of the kindle doesn't do that.. I just have the paperwhite.. There is no "text to speech" option :(

They changed it a little while ago. It's really annoying because my original Kindle that I had for christmas 2011 had the text-to-speech feature, but now it only seems to be available on the kindle fire! poo really!
