Another 5 huge stars book from Kristen Ashley. Up near the top of my stack now and seriously, probably the most swoony hero yet. How can you be that sweet and that alpha? It's a mystery, but Grayson Cody is all of that and so much more. 
 I saved this book until the tail of my KA marathon because I was a little apprehensive about the cowboy aspect. Boy was I wrong. This book truly reminded me of what we love best about YA books lately. It's the story of Ivey and her journey as a young woman and how she meets one man in her troubled life that will make every single thing better. And they both know it immediately. It's a beautiful story inside and out. 
 I also like that when they are thrust apart, it doesn't last half of their lives. 7 years was entirely too long but luckily the book doesn't dwell on that time and make us live in angst. They come back together, get things straight and move on making every day of the rest of their lives make up for the 7 years they lost. 
 Reading this story I felt warm and fuzzy and just fell in love with Gray & Ivey. Ivey is a great young KA heroine. She is strong and smart but also fragile, but thinks she's so tough. She is plenty sassy too, but you know when you are reading that Ivey was born to be the love of Gray's live and vice versa. That is the kind of story that fills you up when you read it. Fills you so full of joy and love it's a pleasure to read. 
 I knew this book was gonna get 5 stars when I was half way through reading it. No joke, at 58% I was ready to call the whole thing and put this book on my favorites shelf - while at the same time I was in no rush to finish it because this is my very last non-paranormal KA book. And that makes me so damn sad I don't know how to cope. 
 Well, now I'm babbling again. That happens when I try to review a KA book I love this much. You know the drill, read some of the book quotes, read other BETTER reviews from people who actually have book blogs - but trust me: You read this book and you'll love it.
