This story was wonderful, beautiful and inspiring. It had a bit of a rocky start, the heroine annoyed me at first, and it seemed really long, but I am so glad I stuck it out. I ended up absolutely loving it!
Daniel Colton is making a change, taking a risk. He is a nineteen year old guy with tattoos and piercings. He rides a Harley, he’s a ladies man, and he is starting college. Daniel’s parents died a few years ago, and he lives with his questionable older brother, Zef.
This is a huge thing for him. On the outside, he seems like a normal guy his age. He like to go out and party, hang out with friends ect, but he is hiding something. Something pretty big.
Lisanne is very different from Daniel. She has two loving parents and a little brother. She has always been a good girl, a good student. She is a music major. She takes school seriously and she is very inexperienced.
Lisanne is attracted to Daniel right away when she sees him in her business class, but he is far from her type. Plus, the few times they have interacted, he seemed like a jerk. Lis tries to keep her mind of Daniel, but she finds it wondering to him more often then she would like. She stays busy with school, and joins a band with people who happen to be Daniel’s friends.
Daniel and Lisanne get paired together for an assignment in business class. Due to a fluke, Lis learns Daniel's secret. She promises she won’t say anything, and he has no choice but to trust her. Because of this, they become friends, grow closer. Lis has it bad for Daniel, and he finds her different from any other girl he has ever met. He is usually a hit it and quit it guy- but Lis is different. He doesn’t have to hide who he is with her. They start a relationship. It can get complicated, but they both care for one another. After being together for a while, some ups and downs and conflict, they realize they want to be together.
Daniel meets Lis’s family and all. It doesn’t go that smooth at first. I do love Daniel and Lisanne’s brothers interactions. They had me laughing so hard. The two of them together can get complicated. Especially with Daniel’s secret. He is still insistent that no one knows and Lisanne has trouble with that. He isn’t broken. He doesn’t need to be fixed. He just needs to be accepted and loved for who he is.
I love this authors writing. This book was nothing like her Education books, but I really enjoyed it. Lisanne drove me crazy at times. It really took a while for her to grow on me, but she did. I loved Daniel from the very beginning. He was such a beautiful person, brave and strong. He didn’t let his circumstances define him. I had a lot of respect for him. I loved these two together. Maybe it was just me, but I was an emotional wreck during parts of this book...
Lisanne knew Daniel’s issues and she loved him regardless. He always felt like if a girl found out what was up with him, she would bolt. That was the main reason he never had relationships or got close to anyone. She wasn’t perfect, but I was impressed with how persistent she was with him and how strong she tried to be for the both of them. She loved Daniel for who he was.
Even with all the struggles, they made it work. We got some steamy parts, some funny parts, obviously emotional parts, but overall- this story was just beautiful, moving and heartfelt. A book I won’t be forgetting anytime soon. The ending was amazing. Just a really great read, original and wonderful- I highly recommend this one. Even with the slow start, a 5 star read for me!
