I'm back with the second book review! Kayla Chambers knows what love is—and what it isn’t. When her boyfriend turns abusive, she and her son escape to a new life in a place where he’ll never find them. The idyllic town of Paradise, Idaho, has everything she needs to get back on her feet. Survival is her only goal, and the last thing she wants is another man in her life.• • • • • • • •But Kayla’s new neighbor, high school principal Luke Jackson, is determined to change her mind. Luke usually takes the fast lane with women, but he can see that Kayla and her son need help, and he wants to earn her trust—even if that means taking things slow. He strikes up a friendship that soon simmers into something passionate and real. But when Kayla’s past catches up with her, Luke knows he has to find a way to keep her safe…or risk losing her forever. Well, I'm glad that I enjoy this book more than the first.This book touches on a very sensitive topic yet common issues in this society. Domestic violence. Kayla is a widow who's having a hard time raising her son. Then she met someone who promised to take care of her but he doesn't. He's someone who holds power and he knew people from high positions and that's very sad. She managed to escape with her son and she met her neighbor, Luke.He's a high school principal who always goes after women who's not from the town he's living in until he met Kayla. Something about her makes him want to protect her.The flow of the story seems familiar with the first book. But I hated how the ending ends when it comes to the ending for the perp. Is it suspenseful? Not that much but it's not that boring compared to the first book.
