Short Synopsis: After living in Denmark and being home schooled, Brenna and her family decide to move back to their old hometown. As she starts school for the first time since being in Denmark, Brenna gets the attention of two boys, Saxon and Jake. Both have shady pasts, but both start vying for her attention.

My Thoughts: An entertaining read and the characters were interesting, but there were a couple things that bothered me.

After living home schooled in Denmark her freshman year, Brenna is back in her old hometown. Being dubbed as the 'new girl', Brenna goes back to high school, discovering old friends and new.

On her very first day of school, she has already attracted the attention of two hot guys. Both have different backgrounds. Jake's shady past makes him a bit of a player, but has changed his ways, and Saxon's reputation as a bad boy doesn't really help situations much, but cares heavily for Brenna.

As Brenna gets to know the boys, she starts to have feelings for both. As Brenna wonders who might be the best choice for her, she comes across a situation that might change both the boys' future forever. Can Brenna decide who she wants to be with and help the boys?

An entertaining read, and the characters were interesting. There was one thing that really bothered me though. A lot of the romance scenes were detailed very graphically, for which I'm not sure this novel should be labeled as YA. I also felt that the main character, Brenna, seemed to have pretty loose feelings when she kisses one boy and in an instant kisses another. I was also a bit disappointed with the ending and felt that it ended in an odd way, like the author just stopped suddenly. But as Brenna kept finding out more of both Saxon and Jake, I was curious to see how her feelings would change, and who she would ultimately choose. Overall, it was fast paced, and an intriguing plot. I look forward to reading more from the author.

Would I recommend this book: Yes

Rating: I give this book a 3.5/5.
