She’s ready to start living the life she’s always wanted, but she’s scared to leave everything she knows behind and travel the journey alone. Will Nate be there to encourage her along the way? Or will the rebellion wear off and have her crawling back to her parents?
Nate’s always lived his life in the fast lane. He’s never wanted to be tied down and he doesn’t let anything get in the way of doing what he loves. That is until he meets Summer.

When Nate finds himself lying on the side of the road in the middle of the night, preparing himself for his last breath there is only one person that comes to mind, Summer Jones. He promises himself that if he makes it through this, he will do everything he can to win her over, but is it too late?

Review:

*Received ARC for an honest review**

If you are wanting a quick read, this book is for you. It literally only took me and hour to read. I have read a few books by Jessica Gunhammer, so I was excited when I received this ARC copy. However, I was a little disappointed. I don't know if it was just me or what, but I was expecting a whole lot more from this book. It all just happens so fast and ends very abruptly.
Summer seems interested in Nate from the beginning and pushes for him to tell her why he wants nothing to do with her. When she finds out that he thinks she is a "goody two shoes", she decides to prove him wrong, but the night that she tells her parents her plans for the future, Nate is in a motorcycle accident. It is when he is in the hospital that he realizes that he cares for Summer and has been nothing but mean to her. This is where their relationship starts. The book covers a whole 24 weeks of romance, if that's what you want to call it. Not a whole lot happens. The most exciting stuff is in the very beginning when Summer meets Nate and I think a week or so later, he is in his accident. The next most exiting thing is at the end, when Nate is able to walk a small distance and ends up setting up the barn in a romantic gesture. I'm not harping on the book, it was a good read, but I just wanted a whole lot more from the couple.
