They say you never forget your first love. No matter how many more come along or how much time goes by, there will always be that one person who will be forever embedded deep inside your heart and soul. For me, that was Jaxson Callahan.
We were complete opposites. I was a senator’s daughter. My parents were always too busy keeping up appearances on the political scene to show me love, so instead they bought my affection.
He was the son of a woman who allowed men to use and abuse her as well as him, just for her next fix.
We became each other’s solace during that summer we met, creating a lifetime of memories in three short months. I provided him with a sense of hope that there was more than just the harsh reality of the life he had grown accustomed to, and he showed me a genuine love that I had been yearning for my entire life. We vowed to be together forever. I loved him and he loved me…. and nothing would keep us apart.
Nothing except the secrets that were hiding in that small seaside town.
Secrets that altered our destiny. We were never given any warning as we watched our future shake, crumble and disappear altogether, leaving us with nothing but memories of a bittersweet past.
Life can be beautiful.
Life can be beautiful.
Life can be kind.
And, life can be heartless…..because nothing about our situation was fair.
And, life can be heartless…..because nothing about our situation was fair.

Excerpt
“It’s just another day. Nothing special about it. I’d just as soon forget the day I was born.”
“Why are you so hard on yourself?” I second guessed myself for asking as the words spewed from my mouth.
“You just wouldn’t understand, Samantha.”
My whole life I hated being called that name, but hearing him say it was kind of nice. It was as if it was his and his name only for me. I was his Samantha, and he was my Jaxson.
“Maybe I could try. I’m a pretty good listener.”
He took another sip of his lemonade and placed it on the table. “I really have to go.” He stood up and looked down at the ground.
“I’m sorry. I – I didn’t’ mean to pry,” I said, standing up beside him. “It’s just, sometimes it helps to express how you’re feeling, and I’m –” He took me completely off guard when he grabbed my face in his hands, pulled me toward him, and placed a warm gentle kiss on my lips before smoothly slipping his tongue into my mouth. I was speechless as I pulled in my bottom lip still wanting to taste more of him when the kiss was over.
“You wanted me to express myself,” he whispered. “Well, that’s what I’ve been feeling from the time I walked up on this porch. I wanted to see if your lips felt as soft as they look. I wanted to get as close to you as I possibly could and breathe in your perfume that drives me crazy. And, maybe for one second of my life, I wanted to feel like I was worthy of someone like you. That’s how I was feeling, Samantha.”
This is the first book I have read by
Beth Rinyu so I didn’t know what to expect.
The first few pages sucked me into the
story.
I immediately felt what Sam was feeling
when she had her first integration with Jaxson. Her loving way
towards people and how genuine she was with everyone was the polar
opposite how he was. He was a rough guy that didn’t say much and
came off as an ass. From the first conversation you don’t get the
chance to really get a lot of out it but you knew that something was
there and didn’t know which way it was going to go.
I started to feel like this was
another, she liked him but he doesn’t like her story, but I was SO
wrong. You felt the pain, support, and love that both of the
characters get from the people in their lives. You see why Jaxon is
and how he grows and the same thing with Sam. My heart just grew and
grew throughout the story and I never wanted it to end.
I will tell you to get your tissues
ready because it will get you. I have read other books but this one
really got to my heart. I read a lot but this will be in my favorites
forever. The story between Sam and Jaxson is one that grows and
matures with time while they both let each other in.
I recommend this book to everyone with
the caution that you will not see what is going to happen. Isn’t
that the best way for that to go though? Once I got to the last page
I was in tears. It was not what I was expecting but it was so much
more than I could imagine. My heart felt complete, hurt and
everything in-between once I finished.
Again have tissues ready once you get
towards the end because it will make you never want it to end. Beth
you really did an amazing job on this book! Sam and Jaxson both will
hold a special place in my heart just like they did for each other in
the book. I really enjoyed the book and defiantly recommend it to
other readers. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Author Bio
My life is not as interesting as my books or the characters in them, but then again whose life is? I'm a mom of twin teenage boys, a crazy Border Collie and a cat with an identity crisis! I guess you can say writing is my form of relaxation.
