Book description:
Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart.
Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far behind.
With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love.
But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she’d do. He shows her what it’s really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew’s dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?
Due to sexual content and language, this book is recommended for 17+ – Adult Contemporary Women’s – New Adult Fiction
Review: I went back and forth on this book. I liked it, but sometimes Camryn annoyed me. I liked the story, and I definitely liked the premise. I thought it was a fun and interesting idea. I liked how she was on the road, and we got to experience their different encounters. The plot definitely keeps going because they don't stay in the same place for more than a day for the most part.
Character Breakdown:
Camryn: Overall, I liked her. There were some times she really annoyed me. I think I started liking her more as the story went on. She just mainly annoyed me in the beginning. I think as she got out in the world, and her views started becoming more open and mature; I liked her a lot more.
Andrew: I really liked his character. I thought he was fun. He was just so chill and cool. He definitely started rubbing off on Camryn.
Overall, I did like the story. I do suggest it to anyone looking for a steamy romance story. It is not insta-love for the most part, there is a build up. I thought the ending was going to make me throw my nook across the room, but I ended up not doing that. I think it ended perfectly.

out of 5About the Author:
Author of THE DARKWOODS TRILOGY and DIRTY EDEN, mother, werewolf & zombie fanatic, book addict and a happy hermit obsessed with the Universe. Oh, and AMC’s “The Walking Dead”.
Addictions: Starbucks every morning, trolling Barnes & Noble’s shelves once a week, detesting winter, shopping flea markets and preparing for the collapse of society as we know it. Do I own a tin foil hat? Maybe. :-)
I was born in Arkansas and have lived here most of my life, except the couple of times when I lived in Pennsylvania. I started my first novel at the age of thirteen and have been writing something ever since. Generally, I love characters in life and on paper. I pay attention to people, especially those whose personalities make them different from the rest of us: the drug addict roaming the Laundromat that talks to himself, the young, inattentive mother in the park with the meanest kid on the playground – (the entire cast of ‘Swamp People’) – characters fascinate me and I hope that it shows in my literary work.
Thanks for participating in my tour, Cara! :-)
