While the rest of my family was snorkeling and finding awesome sea creatures, I was sitting on the sand reading. It was that good. 
 Review to come.

 FULL REVIEW 
 This book surprised the hell out of me. 
 It's been on my TBR list for quite some time, and I happened to come across it when it was free. I grabbed it up and figured I'd read it eventually. I read the blurb to refresh my memory, and then I read the first couple of pages just to get an idea of the quality of the writing. 
 I never put it back down. 
 It didn't matter that it was hot-as-balls out and that the ocean water was calling my name. It didn't matter that my family came back and told me about the cool fish they saw. I was absorbed into this world of Liliana's and Ryan's, and so I sat and I read and read and read until it was over and I was wishing for more. 
 I loved the fact that the main character was Spanish and a young mother. A lot of the times the MC is blonde and single and young and it's hard to relate to someone like that when I am, in fact, Spanish and a young mother. A lot of the things her mother said to her sounded like something my own would say to me. 
 Lilian's character was strong and sure. She did everything in her power to make her mother and Javier happy, even if it meant putting aside her own desires for a life. The relationship between her and her son brought tears to my eyes more than once. I couldn't even imagine having to deal with all of the things she was going through. I admired and respected her, which in turn made me hope for her. 
 Ryan- god did I feel for him. The author did such a good job of portraying his emotions without lessening his masculinity. Everything about him was broken, but not ugly. He was a perfect balance of dark and light. 
 I love the part that Alex, Ryan's cousin, played in their relationship. He cared for Lili enough to stay away from her but he cared for Ryan enough to push him towards her. I will definitely be reading his book when it comes out. 
 The plot, even though common, was unique because of the writing. There were few grammatical errors, easily overlooked. It was angsty and dramatic, but never over the top. The whole I-want-you-but-I-shouldn't thing could have been annoying, as it usually is, but I was seriously invested in these characters and rather enjoyed their internal struggles. 
 This was a solid 4 stars for me.
