Cass Daniels
knew that knights in shining armor were for fairy tales and she accepted that
she would spend the rest of her life trying to get out of the trailer park where
she lives.
Tucker White was
just starting to make a name for himself after not having the best childhood,
his band ‘Damaged’ are on the edge of getting signed, but from the moment he
met Cass everything changed.
I liked this
book so much I ended up reading it in one sitting, couldn’t put it down. I
liked the setting for the book and how Teresa gave the main characters both
rubbish childhoods, the only difference between them in this book is Tucker’s
life changed and Cass’s didn’t. But it shows the reader that you can change
your life and that sometimes things happen for a reason.
Teresa touched
on a lot of important issues with this book, violence, domestic abuse and drug
abuse. It wasn’t a light read and for me there was some heart wrenching parts
of the book but I likes how Tucker and Cass reacted to each other, straight away
you knew that the moment they met would change both of their lives.
The moment
Tucker entered the book, I fell in love with the description as well as his
attitude towards Cass and throughout the book fell more and more in love with
him, his openness and the way would treat Cass as if she were the only girl in
the world, as if she was his world. Teresa wrote the ideal man, one with a bad
boy side, but one that would never harm you and give you all the love you
deserve, someone to protect you.
I felt that Cass’s
home life could have played more of a part in the book, as when it came up it
was just her coming back from work wishing Jax and her mum were passed out and
then going to bed, waking up and going to work. Cass would tell you what Jax
would do to her, and you’d see his change in personality when he wasn’t using. But
the only time her home life came into the book full force was towards the end
when Jax attacked her.
Throughout the
book you watched Cass fight her feelings for Tucker because she had Jax at home
and it was frustrating, sometimes I found myself wanting to shout at her to
just leave Jax and be with Tucker. She was staying in this abusive relationship
and it was to infuriating as Tucker kept laying his heart of the line for her
and she kept leaving him, even when Jax was out of the picture she was still
finding reasons to leave him, when all he wanted was her.
