review 1: I got this for free on Amazon a while back, and I randomly picked it to read from my book stash. Well...this little freebie surprised me with its awesomeness! I felt like I was watching a movie while reading. The characters, plot, side storylines, and steam factor were done perfectly, in my opinion. I loved how everything tied together to create a great ending, and a lovely epilogue too! I love hidden gems!
review 2: 3.5 stars! This was a very long book but it did keep me entertained. It is about Caleb, an ex-convict, who was just released from prison. He moves back to his hometown, where he is ostracized for murdering two young girls; although he cannot remember committing the crime at all. Caleb has absolutely no one, until one day his neighbor's daughter, Al... morely, goes into his yard and befriends him. Ally's mother, Julie, soon befriends him as well; even though in high school he ignored her. Julie and Caleb soon fall in love with each other but they are tormented by the town, especially Officer Frank Grear (he want's Julie all to himself). Caleb wants to prove he's good enough for Julie and the only way he can do that is to clear his name of the crime he did not commit. I felt so bad for Caleb, especially when even his own brother disowned him. It broke my heart that he was all alone and he thought he was a low-life. However, I did think it was so cute when Ally befriended him. Throughout the book I kept thinking, I just want Julie and Caleb to get together already! This was a long book but it didn't feel like a long read to me because I just kept hoping they would be a family soon. I do have to say though, some parts of the book were a bit slow but I thought the ending was worth it. If you're looking for a nice read about second chances this may be the book for you! less
