I am a bit skeptical at first to read this book because K.C. Carter left a bad impression on me (If you know what she did on Bully). So, I set it aside for a while and give her a chance to tell her story. You are probably surprised that she's paired up with Jaxon Trent because she's dating Liam. (Well, things happened for reasons. I don't trust Liam at all. Once a womanizer, will always be a womanizer.) 
 Seems a bit cliche if we find main characters with an awful family backgrounds but my heart clenched of how this was told. Both characters were abandoned and unloved by their parents. K.C pretends to be someone to please her perfectionist mother. For years she endure that, so at least she could feel it. In reality, she was empty and alone. She wants someone to love her for what she is. Her letters moved me and it is really heart breaking. I almost cry on it. 
 While Jaxon lived his life through hell and he learned to be independent for such a young age. He lived with an abusive father and abandoned by her mother. He feels like he didn't deserved to be loved because of his not-so-good family background. He wants to be part of a family. He may have luxuries by working with Fallon's father but he wants K.C. for such a long time. These two weren't that complicated as Fallon and Madoc's relationship. It was the story that carried me away. I don't mind all the dramas, I really enjoyed it. Their love story isn't rushed and its build up is so romantically intense! Oh my god. Scorching Hot Romance. I'm so adding Jaxon Trent on my book boyfriend list. Penelope Douglas is so good at this. 
 This book deserves a 5 smoking hot stars. Well done, Penelope Douglas!
