Synopsis:
Ethan was Ashley’s secret crush, until he became an asshole. Asshole is too good a word for him. It’s bad enough that he stopped talking to her brother, who was his best friend since preschool. It’s even worse that he went wild and got involved with criminal types. But the worst thing of all is the way he trapped her on this ridiculous road trip. That’s what it is. Ridiculous. It just isn’t normal for a girl to get dragged from Virginia to South Dakota in a stolen car with just $1000 in cash. With Ethan Moore, who is way too hot and way too infuriating to be tolerated. But she’s stuck with him on a trip that is taking way longer than it should, sharing cheap hotel rooms, destroying cars, and eluding bad guys. Yep. There are bad guys chasing them. Even worse guys than Ethan, and that’s saying a lot. Plus, she’s having trouble keeping her hands off Ethan. In fact, she’s falling for him hard—when she isn’t wanting to wring his neck. So, for two crazy weeks, her pride, her heart, and her life are all threatened. Ashley isn’t sure which she’ll lose first. Donna's Thoughts: Ashley Sullivan has worked very hard to be the good girl. Her parents have been through so much the past eighteen months since her brother was arrested, she doesn’t want them to worry about her too. Her plan is to stick to the straight and narrow and have a nice safe and secure life. It is working well for her until she returns home from college for the summer and runs into Ethan Moore. “’This is not a good time. I’m not a slave to lust, you know.’ ‘You aren’t?’ His green eyes gleamed with a teasing heat. ‘Not even a little?’” Ethan Moore hasn’t had the best of life. Raised by his grandparents, he was often left to his own devises. His one bright spot in life was the Sullivan family. Mark Sullivan is his best friend, his parents have welcomed him with open arms and his little sister Ashley is, well, she’s perfect. Everything is good until Ethan and Mark are arrested; now no one is talking to him. “After spending all night in bed with her, he wouldn’t even extend to her the common courtesy of getting an erection.” This is a really cute story of young love. Through circumstances that are out of anyone’s control, Ethan and Ashley are forced into a road trip to Sioux Falls South Dakota. This trip should only take about twenty hours, but due to a rash of funny and frustrating events it takes much, MUCH longer. As Ethan and Ashley spend more and more time together, trying to stay alive, they begin to open up to each other and reconnecting. I absolutely love the time they spend with a sweet lady named Mrs. Tate. This is a real turning point for them and the event that happen in this time are wonderful. There were times during this story I wanted to scream due to the angst, there were times I held my breath due to the frightening situation, and there were times I was running for a cold shower due to the intimate scenes. (Amazon doesn’t like the word s-e-x.) I really enjoyed this story and was wondering how Ms. Adams was going to pull the couple out of deaths clutches. I can honestly say she did a fantastic job. I give this book 4 stars with 3.5 hands down the pants.
