Description

“I'm not sure what possessed me to do it. Maybe it was the impossible expectations I faced, maybe it was my own self-loathing. But I just knew I needed something different to happen. I needed someone...something...to derail me from my current path. Otherwise, I would become lost...a hollowed out shell of a man. So I did it. I approached her, then I pursued her, then I made her mine. And my life was saved...”

Ryan Burnham is the privileged son of a U.S. Congressman and captain of his university’s hockey team. While he is on the verge of fulfilling his dreams to play in the NHL, his parents want him on a different course. One he is expected to accept for the sake of his family’s public image.

Forced to abandon her music career after the heart breaking death of her parents, Danny Cross exists on the opposite side of the tracks from Ryan. She is struggling to make her own way, working two jobs, attending college part time and volunteering in a homeless shelter. She is on a mission to build her own success.

With a chance meeting, their vastly different worlds collide, causing each to evaluate whether they are truly on the correct path to self-fulfillment and happiness. Can their relationship survive? Particularly when others are against them every step of the way. A lot can happen in just ten short days...

    This is a cute fast read. Ryan is the privileged son of a politician and Danny is a musical genius who was forced to give up a scholarship from Juliard to take care of her dying mother. Now she is waitressing and attending classes trying to save money. She meets Ryan at the diner where she works and it’s and instant attraction. Unfortunate Danny is not what Ryan’s family wants for him luckily Ryan is ready to stand up for what he wants and what he wants is Danny.

    This might be one of the worst things I've ever read. Extremely cheesy, sounds like it's written by a high school student (and not a talented one). Don't waste your time or money. I couldn't even finish it.

    It was a good idea for a story and had lots of love, but it was WAY too cheesy and corny. It was also very short (although I couldn't have read much more of this book) and at times too slow. I love love, and am a big romance novel reader, but this was too much even for me.
