Eli and Maggie, Maggie and Eli!! Either way you say it- these two are fab!! One of my favorite AR couples so far!! With the exception of the little vanishing act that Eli pulls (luckily, we see why soon after), I fell for him pretty hard and fast- and for Maggie just as fast. Wise beyond her years, this girl knew what and who she wanted, and she wasn't about to let a pesky little thing like age stand in her way! That's my kinda girl!!
I also adored her relationship with her dad, the banter that they had, the honesty the shared, and the love that you could see pouring off of both of them- and the fact that they both openly shared that love with Eli and welcomed him into the family with open arms. The same way they did with Alice. And can I just say that Alice- well the girl broke my heart, while making me cheer for her all in the same breath! This poor girl, who came from such a crappy home life, finally gets a break in life when she meets and befriends Maggie, who scoops her up and basically adopts her as the sister she never had! Just another soon to be member of the family.
While some may think these four make quite the rag-tag bunch of dysfunctional family members, they could not be more perfect if you ask me. The love they have for one another is more than abundantly clear to anyone that see them, and regardless of their initial situations- their lives ended up happier than most. You can't ask for more than that!!! Great book all around- and two wonderful stories wrapped up in one!!
5 stars!!!!
Eli Strong got out of the military and all he wanted to do was get better. He never expected that the officer he was living with would have a daughter who tested his honor.
Maggie Drummond has been moved around more times than she can count, and starting at a new high school sucks. But when a wounded Marine comes to live with her and her dad, suddenly Maggie figures out what home is.
She’s forbidden fruit, and he’s trying to not to taste… But desire can only be denied for so long. Circumstances keep pulling them back together, and something truly unforeseen happens. Overnight, Eli becomes a guardian and Maggie his ward.
Will Eli keep his hands off Maggie? Will Maggie like it if he doesn’t? Will the two of them break the law because it feels so good? Only one way to find out!
Warning: This book will make you ache in the best way possible! It’s so sweet it’s disgusting, and yet we just can’t stop. It’s a coming-of-age story that’s just what the author ordered. So eat up and enjoy!
