BLURB:
A one-night stand is supposed to end once the sun rises. Only it doesn’t always work out that way.
I never expected this.
I didn’t want to go to another fraternity party, but when my friend pulls me in, I somehow find myself hiding in a corner with…him.
Dillon Connolly.
The smirking, so-called good guy with the shadows in his eyes.
A single glance, a sweet smile, and I let myself have one night of giving in.
I never expected her.
Elise Hoover haunts my dreams more than I care to admit. I never thought I stood a chance—until she said yes.
When a single night turns to two, I know I’m in over my head, but somehow, she makes me believe I can have anything.
Until the sun rises, and my past along with it.
I know I don’t deserve her, but now I have to fight to keep her…or save her from myself.
My Thoughts:
Dillon has something to prove. Elise is trying to get into the spirit of things. This is a story that may have you thinking of your days between high school and being a true adult – and for some, college. As I started to get to know our main characters, the word “sweet” comes to mind. Even the secondary characters were a pleasure to get to know.
The author includes the realism of how hard going to college can be. Trying to juggle a job, classes, friends, and a budding relationship. One thing about reading their trials and tribulations of all that, I felt I needed to have a sweet handy – when you read you will quickly figure out my choice. Sad thing to this was just like in real life, sometimes the true adults fail the children that are in their care. And it’s nice to know that at least the child turned out all right. If you like Dillon’s story, you may want to get to know his brothers by checking out the Fractured Connections series.
