It was a great read. I spend an amazing hours reading how a teenager girl had so much strenght to fight for herself. And don't just lies down there, giving up, when no one holds out a helping hand.Reese is not the name she was born with. She choosen one, when wanted to become someone else. Start her life anew. When she wanted to become stronger.She was sixteen. She had everything. Everything that isn't really important in one's life. Or at least not important to her. Money. Power. Position in society.What Reese wanted, needed was love. That to someone she would be important. But that wasn't what she got. Her father died when she was a little girl and she don't knew him that good anyway. He was workaholic. Her mother...Well, you really couldn't call that woman a mother. All she cared about is herself. And when she remarried, Reeses life become hell. Her sepfather tried to r*pe her repeatedly. She tried tell her mother. But she didn't care. Then tried look for help by calling for her grandfather. But he was workaholic too. So, not avilaible when Reese needed him the most. Tried to tell her teacher, but her stepfather told that she isn't kinda right in head, make things up. So wherever she tried for help, it got her nowhere.And then one night something happened, what made her release. No one going to help her. No one going to stop him. If she wouldn't help herself no one will. So, Reese carefully planed and one day she run away from a house, which never was her home.Reese got lucky. She meet Mel. Who took care of her like a real mother should. She cared for Reese. Made sure that Reese could protect herself , if she ever ended in situation like in her previous life. And in return, Reese helped Mel to tace care of her bar.Fife years later, one night he comes in. Kieran Stone. He's there for a reason. He's looking for her. Doing a favor for her grandfather. But that isn't whats important here. What's important is that, Kieran makes Reese feel things, she never felt before. In return making her walls break down. Letting him in. In her heart. And Kieran knows she is his. She is the one. He saw through the walls. He knew he find someone precious.But...While they are building something special, Reese grandfather has his own plans for her. I will start this by saying I am a huge fan of this author. So that being said after seeing that this book was available from this author & was on sale I had to get it. I new she was a good writer but wow this book takes it to another level. There are some really hard issue that are dealt with in this book and you will find that you are rooting for the main characters in this book over and over again. You see a girl who became a woman & though she has some demons she will fight all of her life is really trying. I hope this author writes more in this series because I would really like to see what Mel's story is and if she has helped others like Reese. Over all this story will touch you and make you call out for truth and justice. I would recommend this book I thought that even with the tough subjects that it is a great book.
