When college freshman Keira gets stuck with Kona Hale as a partner for her group project, she's not very happy about it. All she cares about is getting her project done, and the sexy linebacker isn't really the studious type. But for some reason, Kona shows up for their study sessions, and it doesn't take long for the attraction between them to spark to life. They try to keep each other at arms length, but it doesn't work for long, especially when their leashed anger turns them on. Literally. Their passion isn't hearts and flowers, it's more like lightning and thunder. I liked that about Thin Love. 
 But there are some obstacles to their love, namely both of their mothers. Neither one is in favor of the relationship, and at times their behavior was really hard to take. I'm being vague on purpose because I thought the whole mother-child dynamic was one of the best parts of Thin Love so I'd rather not spoil-- but there's a whole lot of evil going on there. 
 And then there's Keira and Kona's temper which can go from turn-on to ugly-ville in the span of a breath. There's lies and jealousy and abuse, and sometimes all that passion escalates to disaster. 
 When things are good though, they are so very good, and Keira and Kona find a way to tune out the bad stuff, and make a go of it, until one night, Keira, Kona and Kona's twin Luka are involved in a horrifying situation that has Kona shredding Keira and Keira disappearing for good. 
 Sixteen years later, Kona and Keira happen to run into each other back in New Orleans, and secrets from the past force them back together. They are different now, more mature, less volatile and still incredibly attracted to each other. But have they really changed? Can they be good for each other? I kept turning the pages to find out. 
 I loved that this story spanned sixteen years and gave a very nice look at who Kiera and Kona became as they matured. It made me feel like I got a lot of story, and it unfolded at just the right pace to keep me reading until the final pages. 
 The story stayed with me for a few days too and even now I'm tempted to go back and read some favorite parts. There were some really great drama that had me blinking hard and some really nice high points in the love story, but most of all there wasn't a rush to the HEA. 
 Great story and execution. Loved it!
