Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies…
That’s what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past she wishes could just stay buried.
Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he’s nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn’t at all who he’s been claiming to be. When the secrets he’s been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky’s life will change forever.
"Every word this author writes demands to be read. HOPELESS has such an impact that it will squeeze your heart tight, leave you breathless and make you feel." -Totally Booked Blog
"An intense, emotional read with just the right amount of "dark" and "light" to wrench your gut and make your heart sing. I devoured it." -Maryse.net
"Hopeless is a heartbreaking, yet beautiful tale that has been woven deeply into my heart. A definite must-read!" Autumnreview.com
I did something I almost never do when I read a book - I read some of the review about it. Not too many, and not those with a lot of detail. I also heard a lot of friends and fellow bibliophiles talking about it and decided it was time for me to bite the bullet and read it.
I enjoyed the story and the relationship between Holder and Sky. And while I did figure out some of the plot there were still some surprises in there that tugged at my heartstrings. The character that I connected with the most was Holder, although Sky was extremely well written and very believable. And I wish Breckin was in the book more as I think he is a character that has quite a bit of depth and could easily carry a storyline on his own.
I would recommend this book and hope you enjoy it if you pick it up to read.
