More info: Goodreads
He’s twenty-four. She’s eighteen.
His life is exactly the way he’s always wanted it to be...stable.
She’s quite possibly the very definition of unstable.
Noah saved her. Georgina never wanted to be saved.
Growing up, Noah Clark was passed from one relative to the next until he finally ended up living with his abusive, alcoholic uncle in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Thanks in part to the unwavering love and support of his best friend, Ellie Turner, Noah survived those years, escaped his uncle, and grew into the man he is today. Now he runs his own business and lives a pretty normal, no-nonsense life—one where he maintains a high level of control.
Georgina is Ellie’s younger sister. Four months ago, Noah saved Georgie’s life, but he thought that was where his involvement with his friend’s sister would end. Now Georgie has returned home from the recovery facility her parents sent her away to and Noah, still haunted by the night that connects them, can’t stop himself from continuously trying to protect this girl he barely knows. But is he willing to give up all of the control he’s worked so hard to build in his life and risk everything for her? Even more importantly, would she do the same for him?

My Review:
This was such a surprisingly moving book. I immensely enjoyed it.
Noah
Clarke is 24, gorgeous in a rugged, biker type of way. He is also shy
and keeps himself to himself. His best friend is Ellie Turner and always
has been. They have done everything together right from their school
years, and now they live together and own a business together. Growing
up Noah had a rough childhood, bouncing from one relative to another and
enduring all kinds of hell. He finally found safety and comfort,
staying at Ellie's home. She came from a big family but they all
welcomed Noah.
Four
months ago, some horrific things happened with Ellie's family. From one
tragedy to another. Georgina, Ellie's younger sister wasn't handling
things well and Noah found her at her very worst. He stepped in and
saved her in many ways. From that moment on, they are linked in many
ways. For four months while Georgie is away, Noah can't stop thinking
about her, and it would seem Georgie can't stop thinking of him either.
Once
Georgie returns home, things are a little strange to start with until
Noah starts showing just how much Georgie has affected him. He tries to
stay away but is drawn to her every time.
This
book started off in the most painful and heartbreaking place ever, and I
felt like I wanted to cry before I had even read the first chapter. Yet
after that initial part, things seemed to start getting a little less
painful and intense and become more sweet. I found myself glued to the
pages watching the most tender and fragile beginning turn strong and
amazing. Georgie and Noah, were incredibly sweet characters. Georgie had
been in a horrible place, trying to deal with so many things, yet as
the book went on she seemed to get stronger and become really funny and
more of a typical teen girl, enjoying things. Noah was adorable. So
gorgeous and protective of Georgie but also finding himself in a new
place with intense feelings too. He was a perfect example of what I
adore in my book main men.
All
the other characters in the background were also enjoyable, from
Georgie's spirited sister Ellie, to her younger yet very sharp sister
Rose. I loved the relationships between them all and how close they all
were.
The
writing style was captivating, not once did I feel even slightly bored
or want to skim. It was written so beautifully and opened my eyes to
many issues that were covered in this story.
I'm
not sure whose story will be next in this series but I can't wait, I
loved this book and look forward to whoever is next in Kill Devil
Hills.
Highly recommended!
