Life isn’t always about fairytales and happily ever-after’s according to Seth Jordan. After having his world shattered and heartbroken beyond repair, he had always sworn off the idea of love. He was perfectly content with continuing his life with worthless one night stands and no strings attached sex. That was until one blue-eyed blonde managed to seep into places he thought were cemented shut.
Like a jack hammer, Mallory Prentice came into Seth’s life and cracked the hard exterior that surrounded his heart. She’s the one woman he was starting to feel might be worth taking a chance on.
But life doesn't always hand you the easy road. Sometimes you are constantly hit with the bad and have no hope of any good ever showing up.
Will Seth and Mallory realize that ultimately they are the ones who are in control of their life’s outcome? Will they embrace the future and fight for their own happiness, or will they keep lingering in past mistakes and let it keep them apart?
Life is all about forgiveness and second chances. Once you come to that conclusion and just go for it, there is…no going back.
This book shakes you up right from the very start. Mallory and Seth are two people who everyone know should be together but are not...things or people keep getting in there way. Mallory goes to Seth's wedding to try to convince him not to marry Allison. She pours her heart out to him.
“Hey Seth,” she timidly says before letting out a shaky breath. “Okay, I’m just gonna lay it all on the line, and you can do what you want with it.” Fuck, she came to win me back. “First, me coming here was not my idea, but with that being said, I would have regretted it like a motherfucker if I didn’t try one last time because I think you’re worth the effort. I want you Seth. I want you more than I’ve ever wanted any other man — more than I ever will want any other man. You get me unlike anyone ever has. You know me…the real me. I know what we had was no strings attached, but dammit, I’m attached. I can’t help it Seth, but I fucking love you and knowing you’re about to marry that woman who emotionally fucked you up, kills me. It kills me Seth.”
Seth is unaware that Mallory is pregnant with his child and Mallory won't tell him. She wants Seth to pick her and not be with her because she is having his baby. He rejects her and breaks not just her heart but his own as well.
Seth has a lot of growing up to do. He is in love with Mallory but puts his music career first. His band is on tour and they are about to make it big time. His ex-girlfriend from 5 years ago reappears in the picture and she comes up with a way to wiggle her claws back into Seth's life. He hates Allison but the story that she is giving him he is STUPID to believe that there is any truth to it.
Enter a mind fuck for Seth as he finds out who his father really is and that he has played "PUPPET MASTER" for most of his life behind his back. All I kept thinking is this much is happening 20% into the book? How is the rest of this book going to continue if this much has been revealed and it is only the start of the book. So as the story goes Seth has been given a ton of information and he wants to run to Mallory and make things right with her. But he needs to get his head on straight first......RIGHT???
There was one point in the book (still early on) I was just reading along being a good little reader that I try to be and then the SHIT got really REAL. I mean WHY? I said I was not going to cry and now here I am CRYING. This is awful I can't believe that happened. How do you recover from that? I did not see that coming and I am still mourning from it. It broke my heart.
Seth........That man needed a major kick in the butt!! he comes back and has this one amazing night with Mallory and tells her that he loves her......WHILE SHE IS SLEEPING......................
Seth was all kinds of messed up. I loved him and hated him and then I loved him again. There feelings were set out there for everyone to see along with there honesty. I was pulled in so many directions and my emotions were EVERYWHERE. One minute I wanted them to work it out then I thought, Oh shit I don't think you can recover from it. All in all this is a great book, I loved everyone in it, Nick too.
I really enjoyed this book. The troubles that both Seth and Mallory went through to get back together only made them stronger. The ability to forgive one another and let the past be forgiven is a great thing. I can't wait to read the next book that Erika has in store for us, I know that it is going to be another roller-coaster ride.
