Ambria Donnelly thought she had everything all figured out. A senior in high school, she knows exactly what she wants out of life and where she is going. After her last boyfriend broke her heart, Bri swore off boys and dating, instead focusing on school, and dance, and getting into Stanford like she’d always dreamed. Until a chance meeting at the beach pushes her resolve, and threatens to unravel all her carefully made plans.
Cole Marra had never really thought much about the future. He’d always had his dad, or his friends, there to make those kinds of decisions for him. He isn’t even sure who he is, let alone what he wants. Until the day Bri walks into his life and changes everything. Suddenly his future, which was uncertain at best, begins to take shape as he finally decides what he wants out of life. And now that he’s found it, he won’t let her go.
But when Bri finds out that Cole isn’t exactly who she thought he was, everything between them falls apart. Now, Cole has to decide how hard he’s willing to fight for what he wants. Bri has to decide if she’s willing to open herself up and risk her heart again. They both must work to overcome their own issues, and decide if it’s worth taking a chance on love.
Or, will the walls and defenses keeping them apart be too much to overcome?

Now guys I must confess to you all. I have a tendency to umm.....Well I judge a book by its cover. I love pretty covers on books. So I saw this book and I am like OOOOO!
And it just so happened that I got Amazon Prime for Christmas so the book rental was free. So I was like.....hmmm.....maybe I'll try it. This is a note. It has been years since I have read just a romance book. Paranormal romance and stuff yeah all the time but nothing odd about the characters nope.
No Damon I'm not kidding you. I would never kid you. Oh what was I saying? Oh yes. Anyway I started reading it and I am like oh this is amazing. Then I reached the part that happens in every romance. The danger that they will break up! I admit it.....I cried.
Okay anyway. This book was still amazing even though it made me cry. I want a Cole. DON'T YOU DARE JUDGE ME FOR WANTING FICTIONAL GUYS. You are totally in the same boat if you are reading this blog right now. Just saying.
And rant over. I apologize. I have been increasingly violent this week. Yeah. Anyway back to Cole. Cole is so sweet and nice to Bri when we meet him in the first chapter. Then when she meets him at school, He does a complete 180 and acts like a complete jerk. I wanted to throw small objects.
Anyway she finds out that the he can't stand to disappoint anyone. so he is whoever the person he is around whether it be his dad or friends he adjusts to be the person they expect him to be. because when his mom died he hid his feelings to be strong for his dad. With Bri he finds out he can actually be himself.
Bri's character is severely judgmental sometimes because her first boyfriend betrayed her in a horrible way. Both of the characters have their issues but with each other they overcome those eventually.....what you you mean by eventually? Well....
They breakup near the end. Cole is an awesome painter and he painted a huge collage of pictures of Bri for his project. She thought this was a way of making fun of her that he really didn't care for her. She didn't think she was capable of love. The idiot broke poor Cole's heart. He told her that he loved her and that painting was showing her that and she went all stupid and broke up with him. I started crying. I always do when the guy is upset. No idea why. But I was like Bri WHAT.THE.CRAP. you're an idiot. I wanted to slap her.
In the end she gives up her dream college to go to his college so she can try to win him back. She finally realized was capable of love and had to go after him. She tells him that this is where she goes to college and that she loves him and everything is all sunshine and rainbows. The End. I hope you enjoyed my somewhat scatterbrained review.
I give this book a 5 out 5 stars.
A 5 out of 5 kisses.
