 Review copy provided for an honest review 
 Sophie Heyer has spent her life trying to live down her mother's reputation, the whore. Sophie has always felt like she needed to be the good and quiet girl in town, memories and scandal have long lives. Even twenty five years later she's reminded how much she looks like her mother so people assume she must also act like her. 
 Alex Bishop grew up in chaos. His father disappeared when he was barley a teenager and his mother believed he would just leave them. He must be kidnapped or hurt someplace. The family spent much of his teenage years roaming the country looking for him. At eighteen, Alex left home and never looked back. Recently after running into a family acquaintance that relayed some news about his father, Alex felt compelled to check in. His brother Shane convinces him to come visit for a few days. Alex knows this isn't a good idea. It's never good to go back. 
 Everyone has issues and all children are affected by things their parents do and say. This story is a perfect example of that. Both characters suffered major trauma as youngsters and now that they are adults the trauma is still affecting them. I understood Alex's actions and reactions throughout the story. I could see the line connecting the dots between what happened as a child and his actions as an adult. I thought I understood Sophie's actions and reactions too. However, by the end I realized I had only seen a small piece of who she was and why she was that way. When I got to the deep rooted issues in her life I had an "oh my goodness" moment, mouth hanging wide open, tears forming in my eyes, the whole shocked shebang. I really enjoyed this book. It seems a bit slow at times while I was reading it, but by the end it all came together. There is A LOT of hot sex in the book and that is always a plus. I give this book 4 stars and 4 hands down the pants.
