3.5 starsThis is a super sweet young adult romance. This storyline really brought out the feelings in me, but it's definitely aimed toward a younger audience. Mallory and Rider were abused foster kids together. She got out of the system when a great couple adopted her. He didn't get adopted, but...
Ugh.*Cookie cutter plot. Cookie cutter characters. Cookie cutter romance.*Contrived. That is the first word that comes to mind when I try to sum up this book. Shall we start with the plot?

I received a copy from Netgalley. I pre ordered this ages ago, but of course jumped at the chance when I saw the title pop up on Netgalley. The novel tells the story of Mallory, who grew up in a terrible foster home with fellow foster child Ryder, after one really bad incident the authorities we...
This review is also available on my blog, Bows & Bullets Reviews I liked Mallory almost immediately. It’s impossible not to sympathize with her. The poor girl has been through hell and even though she’s escaped it now, she bares serious scars from that past. She has issues speaking and dealing wit...
