Luke Price's life has always been about order, control, and acting tough on the outside. For Luke, meaningless relationships are a distraction-a way to tune out the twisted memories of his childhood. He desperately wishes he could forget his past, but it haunts him no matter what he does.
Violet Hayes has had a rough life. When she was young, she was left with no family and the memory of her parents' unsolved murders. She grew up in foster homes, living with irresponsible parents, drugs, and neglect, and trying to fight the painful memories of the night her parents were taken from her. But it's hard to forget when she never got closure-and she can't stop dreaming about what happened that tragic night. To make it through life, she keeps her distance from everyone and never allows herself to feel anything.
Then Violet meets Luke. The two clash instantly, yet they can't seem to stay away from each other. Although they fight it, they both start to open up and feel things they've never felt before. They discover just how similar they are. But they also discover something else: The past always catches up with you . . .

***************
The book begins with Luke & Violet's past telling us why they are the way they are. At first reading Luke's past I wasn't sure I was going to be able to handle it but thankfully it wasn't at all what I thought. It's a amazing that these two actually are in college with good grades with what they have been through. Turns out they are more alike in their defense mechanism that one would think and hopefully they can save each other. These two are a hot mess and I fear that there is no way they are going to actually open up to each other but it seems when one lays it on the line the other will too. Brief encounters turn into living together for the summer which leads to some intense feelings on both parts. Things finally start becoming normal for these two when all of the sudden it falls apart. I am crushed by the ending. Their story will continue sometime in 2014.
You get some of Luke & a bit of Violet in "The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden" & "The Redemption of Callie & Kayden" but you don't have to read those to read this book.

If you have read books by Author Jessica Sorenson than you know they are Not full of hot steamy sex but more about messed up high school or college kids trying to find their way in the world. They usually end up finding someone just as screwed up at them which help them realize they aren't alone and deserve love.
