REVIEW
I received a copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.
3.5 stars!
Alexandra moves from New York to Savannah because of complications with her boyfriend. I'm not completely on her side because she was also unfair to her boyfriend. She had an incident working as a nurse and it made her distant and she didn't stop to think about how her boyfriend might feel if one day she was just so cold and won't tell him why. It doesn't justify what he did, but Alexandra should have at least listened to him more before disappearing to Savannah.
She goes to her aunt's house and helps her take care of the cotton there. She goes back to school to pursue a degree in English and gets a job as a Tech.
Blaise comes into the picture when he helps out Alexandra's aunt tent to the cotton fields since she hurt her back. They develop a friendship and Alexandra tries to give Blaise hints that she likes him, but he never tries anything with her. There is something, or rather someone, who is holding Blaise back. I was just so disappointed with how Daniella kept holding him back. He has nothing to lose by cutting all ties with this girl, but his conscience won't let him be free of her.
I will be anticipating for the second book!
