****3.5 Stars****
Sometimes the "perfect family" is anything but perfect under the facade projected to the outside world. What lives underneath is a cold hollow shell, not happiness and warmth.
I have to start out by saying that this was more of a YA book and it's not really my thing. It's not a genre I can get excited about.
I found the first half of the book slow and frustrating and I found Hannah rather irritating. That being said, Sean is a great character....honourable and trustworthy.
Things certainly pick up at around the halfway point and you can't help feeling for Sean and Hannah. Things just seem destined to tear them apart.
Gibb and Evie's book is due next and I'm sure they've got one hell of a story to tell and secrets to reveal.
Although I didn't love this book, that's not a reflection on the quality of writing but more a case of personal taste or preference.
If YA is your thing, I'm sure you'll love it, so I'd certainly recommend giving it a try.

Synopsis
After five years, tragedy brings Hannah Casey back to Hurricane Creek to bury what’s left of her family. She’s flunking out of college, haunted by scandal, and the only person who cares is Sean Whitlow, an irresistible bad boy with a soft spot for her. The problem? He’s her dead sister’s ex.
Sean doesn’t bleed red, he bleeds motor oil. During the week, he struggles to turn his auto repair shop into a profitable business. But when Saturday night rolls around, he’s the reigning stock-car king of the local race track. He doesn’t know how to lose–or how to walk away and leave Hannah alone with her grief.
Between her grades and her wealthy family’s dark secrets, Hannah’s barely holding her life together. And the last thing Sean needs is to get tangled up with another Casey girl. As the attraction between them spins out of control, they’ll either find a love with no limits–or go up in flames.
