But after being betrayed by someone she's trusted before and when doubts and past secrets begin to surface concerning Maddox Avery is easy to believe them.
    This was yet another book that I could not put down. Although it did kind of start off slow for me it picked up rather quickly and then I was hooked. At one point I could not put this down despite the fact that I had to because it was late and I had to wait up early the next morning. This book is the first in a series and I have yet to decide if I want to continue with the series because the next books are stories about the other characters in the series. But either way this is definitely a book to read.
