review 1: Mackenzie can't wait to get her senior year over with. The faster school let's out, the faster she can get away from her abusive father. She barely has money because her father can't keep a job.Hayes is the popular football player who has money. He sleeps around. He gets partnered up with Mac in class and from there, they are in each other's lives.Hayes is drawn to Mac and he isn't quite sure why. She beautiful,smart, and nothing like the other girls. Mac can't figure out why Hayes wants anything to do with her.Hayes finds out about the abuse and can't stand it. His feeling for Mac grow, as so hers. Something happens and he doesn't see her for months. When they do see each other, Hayes quickly finds out something he didn't know.I love the attraction between these 2, even ... moreas friends. You can't help but fall in love with not only Hayes and Mac, but the other characters as well. My heart broke a few times while reading! I fell in love with this book and cannot wait for more. 5 out of 5 stars
review 2: This book kept me reading in be until on a Sunday afternoon and I regret nothing! I was completely pulled into this second chance love story and read this in one sitting.Mackenzie has just started at a new high school. Most students would be nervous about this but she is used to it, her parents don't stay in one place for very long so putting down roots anywhere just isn;t an option. Mackenzie's father is an alcoholic who drifts from one job to another and is prone to taking out all of his frustrations on her.Hayes Morgan is in her first class of the day and she definitely takes notice of this gorgeous guy who seems to befriend her on her first day. This strange coupling seems to confuse all the other students who have never seen the 'man whore' Hayes just being friends with a girl. As Hayes gets to know Mac more he learns just how awful her home life really is and he becomes very protective of her. It feels good to have someone looking out for her and it further cements their friendship.Eventually friendship turns to more and these two face the truth, that they feel more for each other. I love seeing a guy who is a bit of a douche having that light bulb moment and being completely swept up with a girl who is his 'one.'When everything seems to be going along nicely, Hayes does something that has huge consequences for them both and Mac in turn discovers something that changes everything. In the blink of an eye Mac has vanished and Hayes is left absolutely heartbroken.One year later Hayes walks into a coffee shop and there Mac is. The girl who haunts his dreams is right there in front of him. Both of them have changed over the past twelve months and there is a lot to talk about. When all the truth comes out will they find that there has been too much water under the bridge to remain friends?I loved this sweet second chance love story, especially the last few chapters *swoon* Perfect weekend read to just escape into a book. less
