Release
Date: November 25, 2014
Genre: New
Adult Romance
Synopsis:
Some people
wait decades to meet their soul mate. Courtney Kaufman suspects she met hers in
high school—only to lose him at seventeen. Since then, Courtney’s social life
has been a series of meaningless encounters, though she’s made a few
close friends along the way. Especially her roommate, Max Cooper, who oozes
damaged bad-boy vibes from every pore.
Max knows
about feeling lost and trying to move beyond the pain—he’s been on his own
since he was sixteen. Now it’s time to find out if he can ever go home again,
and Courtney’s the only one he trusts to go with him. But the trip to
Providence could change everything…because the more time he spends with
Courtney, the harder it is to reconcile what he wants and what he thinks he
deserves.
It started
out so simple. One misfit helping another. Now Max will do anything to show
Courtney that for every heart that’s ever been broken, there’s
another that can make it complete.

Review- 5 Stars
I have
really loved this series (all of them can be read as standalones) and this book
was a fantastic way to close it out. Courtney and Max are such great characters
and I loved taking this journey with them.
Courtney had me laughing from the first
pages. She is pretty hysterical. Her sense of humor is dry at times, and just
plain comical others. At the same, time, her humor is her way of deflecting
awkward and/or hurtful situations. Her heart is huge and she has such caring
for those around her that she just wants to make them laugh and smile instead
of hurt. However, the humor is also a deflection from her own insecurities. I
ached for her acceptance of herself, refusing to see that there is beauty in her
looks as well as personality. It was so great to see Max bring out a sense of self-worth
in her. But then, she did the same for him.
Max is one of the sweetest heroes I’ve
come across in a novel. That’s not to say that he isn’t masculine, and trust
me, he’s got plenty of alpha sexiness going on. But, Courtney bring out the
mushy side as well as the caveman. I just melted at all of the little things he
would say to her and the way he looked at her like she was the sun. He had a
really crappy home life as a child and had been on his own since he was 16. He
was truly a testament to pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. It’s not a
common tale for someone who has been dealt a situation like his to find a way
to succeed and particularly to graduate from college. Underneath his strength and
bravado though, is an insecurity that rivals, if not exceeds Courtney’s. He
finds acceptance and love in Courtney and it gives him the contentment and
peace of knowing that you are everything to someone else, just the way you are.
This love story is sweet, but that
doesn’t mean it won’t rip your heart out. So be prepared because this author
knows how to bring on the angst. But, for every minute of heartache there are
two minutes of warm fuzzy feelings. These two are a really fun couple and I
enjoyed their story on every page.
As the end of a series, I appreciated
the little snippet at the end of everyone else’s lives. I’m sad to see this
group go, but I am overjoyed to put the book away knowing that Max and Courtney
have the best kind of happily ever after.
5 Stars for every moment! 5.5 Stars
for every sweet thing that Max did or said… He’s just so dreamy…
Make sure you grab the entire 2B
