3.75/5 stars!

This is the continuation of Caleb and Ruby's story, with the start and f the book immediately following the events of the first book in this duology. The couple must face the consequences of Caleb's actions and also the personal struggles that still haunts him. It takes a group effort from Sienna, Reid, and Ruby in supporting Caleb through this situation.

For the most part, I enjoyed the whole story. There was one chapter in which the start of it got me annoyed but after that it was focused on helping Caleb while also making his relationship strong with Ruby. Ruby is strong here but knows that it's a fine line in helping her boyfriend before overstepping healthy boundaries. Truly, this book explores how mental health is crucial and for some people, seeking professional help is key to healing.

I enjoyed the duology very much and look forward to more of this series by Claire Raye.

4.25/5 stars!

Leaving Rhode Island after what happened to him, Caleb Parker goes to California with his sister and best friend to start a new life. Trying to overcome the effects of his trauma, Caleb befriends his sister's roommate, Ruby Collins, while fighting against his attraction to the spunky brunette because he knows he's broken and lost. But then Ruby's professor makes a move...

This New Adult college romance is griping, enjoyable, and flows smoothly as the hero battles inner demons and the heroine wants to befriend him. Yet close quarters and sexual attraction plays a part in changing their relationship. This story deals with PTSD and other issues that makes readers want to follow the journey the hero and heroine goes through with the he support of friends and family. This book is just the first of a duology featuring Caleb and Ruby, and I can't wait to read the couple's next book.
