Life is random...
19-year-old Jess Donovan knows better than most that life is random. Her mom is dead, and she's on her own, patching together a living as a waitress when a car crashes through the restaurant where she works. In two seconds, she loses her job and watches her best friend hauled away in an ambulance...and she meets Tyler Smith, one of the hottest, most fascinating--and mysterious guys she's ever met.
Both for the good and the bad...
Within days, Jess is swept up into the mesmerizing force that is Tyler. Their every touch sizzles, every kiss dissolves them both, and the sex is...fierce. But there's more to Tyler than his hypnotic eyes. He's adrift, too, and his body--and his soul--are covered with scars. How can she find herself with a guy who is lost himself?
Until you take charge...
Jess is determined to find her way, and make a life that is better than the one she was given. But how?

Review
This book didn't really do it for me. It was okay, but it didn't really keep my interest, which is why it took me like eight days to read it. I really liked the end, and only because it was a total blindside: Tyler's Past - I definitely didn't see it coming. But I was also quite sad because after everything that happened I felt that Jess deserved some happiness in the end.
The novel dragged and I really didn't fully understand Lena's completely outrageous hatred towards Jess. The characters were okay...Henry was a real oddball, and the same with her "real" father.
The book left me with a lot of questions that will probably go unanswered. I'm in between whether or not I want to continue reading the rest of the series.
