Blurb:

Stella is one step from leaving her honky-tonk town when bad-boy Dane roars down Main Street on his prized Harley-Davidson. Despite dreams of living in a big anonymous city, Stella hangs back to have one last crazy romance with this handsome stranger.

Dane is running from his old life -- a dead mom, a clingy ex, and a restlessness that keeps him moving. Stella's willingness to act on his every whim, including getting a little wild on the town's water tower, means that this speed bump in Missouri is what he'll call home, at least for a while.

Their dangerous romance keeps the locals talking, especially some of the punk boys who don't appreciate Dane's attitude with Stella. An altercation in a bar turns deadly, and when Dane is arrested, the couple discovers their love runs deeper than their reputations.

This edgy romance moves from Stella's small town bordering the Ozarks to the famous Missouri State Penitentiary, proving that the best kind of love is the one that endures.

My Thoughts:

I was just getting to the epilogue when find out that in a way this is a book two? Or just a Prequel from another book ( Baby Dust ) So I would recommend you lovely readers to check that out first before getting to this. If you choose not to read Baby Dust thats fine because this book still good.

Stella is a girl from a small town and was about to leave when she finds a hott bad-boy looking guy came into town on his motorcycle. Stella and Dane have an instant connection but he is already with another girl. They both end up hooking up and getting caught and rumors spread causing trouble. Dane winds up getting the unwanted attention from his no ex-girlfriends older brother, who also has the hots for Stella. Everything seems to be going against them and when they finally work on making it out of town Dane gets in trouble the his ex's brother and ends up serious trouble. Now Dane has to things to work out in out and has to do time. Will their relationship last?

"It happened. We can't change it. All we can do is decide where we go from here."

I enjoyed this book it was intense at times, emotional in others. I loved that there was more than one point of views. I loved how dedicated they were after only knowing each other for a little while. Overall I enjoyed this short book and think you lovely readers would like to check it out :-)
