Kayla captured my heart in Boomtown, and never really let go. I thought of her often, while reading the other books, the other series, and knew, when LLV started writing the Free Kids' stories, that this one would tear me apart. And I was right. This book ripped me up and put me back together! Kayla is a young woman, who just doesn't know who she is, or who she wants to be. Unlike a lot of girls her age, she is out there searching, for her place, her niche. She hasn't quite found it yet, but she has found what it isn't! Parker is a man with a tragic past. Some of that past is his own fault, but some of that tragedy isn't. One thing is for sure, its enough that it would pull a lesser man down and not let go. And he knows that its too much for Kayla, and he should stay away from her. He just can't. I love how amazing this story is! Two people, whose lives are full of tragedy that most people wouldn't be able to live through, come together. It's so beautiful! There were plenty of tears in this story, as well as lots of laughs. As always, family plays a huge part in this story, and there is plenty of action, as well as heat, to keep you hooked! I enjoyed visits with previous characters, from several other LLV series, and catching up with their lives. I have to say it, I think this just might be one of my favorite LLV books so far!
