Jocelyn craves to start a new life free of reminders of her past, she has been successfully “shoving her feelings down under the steel trapdoor inside of her” for eight long years and she has no intention of changing that. “I might never stop fearing tomorrow … The future and what it can take from me, scares me.” No one knows of her tragic past and that denial of her pain has meant that she has never really had to deal with it. Her troubled past has taught her that loving people only leads to heartbreak and she is determined to never again forge any lasting ties that would have the power of hurting her. She keeps all those around her at arm’s length, never really allowing herself to care about anyone or others to care for her. She lost her entire family in one tragic accident when she was a teenager and has had to look after herself ever since then. She has been through more loss and heartbreak in her young life than anyone should have to go through in the course of a lifetime. Jocelyn is not your ordinary twenty-two year old woman. This is a luscious yet poignant story that will seduce your senses, get you invested in the characters and make you hopelessly want to believe in happy endings. I was lost to it from the very first page and have loved every single one after that. It is superbly written books like this one that truly feed my reading addiction and keep me awake until the wee hours of the morning, glued to the pages, unable to tear myself away from the story.
