My favorite part-- When we find out the one thing in Taylor's past that makes him not want to fall in love and move on.

My rating: 10/10. I loved this book. I keep going back to it once i put it down. I also love how right in the beginning he goes straight into the action of the book and he uses that to introduce the characters.

My Rating: 8.5/10. I loved this book, it had a good story line and stayed with that storyline the whole time. It was also very interesting the whole way through. But i feel that sometimes they focused to much on events that werent really that important in some parts of the book.
