I had it all.
I was captain of the cheerleading squad and star of the debate team.
I was smart and popular and living the dream.
Until that night.
That one fateful night changed everything.
Now everyone hates me—everyone.
They stay far away.
It’s safer.
Drugs numb the pain, and sex pays for the drugs.
Being alive is my punishment.
Then I meet him.
Ryker Rosse.
Tattoos, sinful body…and his eyes. His eyes are irresistible.
He is captivating. He treats me with respect.
He sees me.
Ryker brings happiness into my life of regret, but I don’t know if I deserve happiness.
Some mistakes can never be forgiven.
Or can they?

I really enjoyed this book. I liked that the main character started the book at the lowest point of her life and it’s at the point that she meets the man who is going to change her life.
Gabby made a horrible decision after her high school graduation that took her from being popular to being a outcast. She doesn’t deal with the downfall well, turning to drugs and alcohol to numb the guilt and hate she receives from everyone in her small town. Gabby gets her wake up and I applaud her for turning her life around. For everything that she had been through, I could understand her downward spiral, so I was happy to see she was determined to dig herself out of the hell she was living in.
Ryker was a pretty special guy. He was able to see Gabby the first time he met her, even though she was cloaked in despair. When he found her again a year later and saw the changes in her, he did what he had to in order to make sure she didn’t disappear again. He showed Gabby, in many ways, that she was worthy of love. He may have looked like a bad boy who raced motorcycles, but he was a big softy who definitely went all squishy for Gabby.
I look forward to see ing what Brianna Lee has in store for us with this series. This was a great start.
