Synopsis:
Robin used to be a party girl… until she got black out drunk and woke up in bed with her best friend's boyfriend. Now she's faced with being THAT girl, and couldn't be more disgusted with herself. She can't even tell her friends the reason for her sudden sobriety and she avoids everyone until she meets Phoenix—quiet, tattooed, and different in every way that's good and oh, so bad…
Phoenix is two days out of jail when he meets Robin at his cousin's house, and he knows that he has no business talking to her, but he's drawn to her quiet demeanor, sweet smile, and artistic talent. She doesn't care that he's done time, or that he only has five bucks to his name, and she supports his goal to be a tattoo artist.
But Phoenix knows Robin has a secret, and that it's a naïve dream to believe that his record won't catch up with them at some point. Though neither is prepared for the explosive result when the past collides with the present…

That cute little chip on Phoenix's shoulder gets old. It gets old real fast.
Defense:
Wow! Can I just say how much I love Erin McCarthy as an author? This novel sure delivers in a one-two punch. Robin in fearless in the face of danger and Phoenix is stand offish in the best way. Great entry level New Adult novel, not too twisted to screw you up forever, but emotions run high.
Verdict:
3 stars. I would recommend this as an entry-level New Adult novel, but as a seasoned New Adult reader, this really didn't get as emotional and overbearing as I expected it to. But the writing was fantastic and the reader will get sucked in. A bonus is this can be read with the series or as a stand alone.
