Summary
from Goodreads:
Tragedy has left Cara Cassidy broken and the only thing keeping her from giving in completely is her guilt. Until Nik Rock.Nik stirs up feelings in degrees she has never experienced, and causes her to do things that most assuredly give him the wrong impression – like kiss him before their first date. Somehow, he breaks down the walls around her emotions until she has no choice but to forgive herself and feel again.

But a mysterious, troubled past follows Nik, and Cara may prove to be his weakest link.

When a royal princess shows up looking for Nik, and an international gang arrives looking for missing jewels, Cara lands in mortal danger. Will she be able to save herself? What will happen to her newly repaired psyche if she loses Nik?

Romance, mystery, and high stakes – just another day in high school.

 Excerpt

Devon slid onto the bench next to Cara, bumping her over with his hip. “So, babe, you coming tonight?”
Cara gaped at him. “You are so delusional, Devon. Is there some alternate universe you visit in which we actually date? Are you confusing your delusional state with the real world?”
Devon grinned and leaned toward her. “Are you coming tonight?
I’ve loaded a special playlist onto my iPod. We could hang in my room and listen to it.”
“I’ll throw up if Cara doesn’t!” Kelly said, throwing her half-eaten sandwich onto the table.
Cara blinked and shook her head. “Do you even listen to me,Devon?”
“I’ve got some good soul-stirring music picked especially for us,” Devon said. “We can wrap our limbs together and stare into each other’s eyes. And then, well, I think you know what comes next.”
Cara ran a hand through her hair. “Cheesus, Devon.”
With a smarmy grin he said, “I knew you’d convert one day, Carabiner.”
“You know, I got a job as a pole dancer down at Starz,” Cara said.
“See ya tonight, lover.” Devon ran his knuckle gently down Cara’s cheek and then strode off.
“He doesn’t hear a thing I say!” Cara watched him enter the lunch line, while she scrubbed the prickle of his touch away.

    • There is a lot of action. One reviewer said, “If you’re looking for cute and cuddly, this may not be the story for you.” Lol.

      I really like Scarlett Johansson’s interpretation of Black Widow. Can’t wait for Age of Ultron.

    • Batman just doesn’t do it for me and I’ve never been able to figure out why. But I love some of his villains. Joker, Penguin – the more psycho, the better. Ha ha.

    Thank you, BookBriefs, for this post! I love Thor! He’s one of my favorite comic book heroes/heroines… along with Wonder Woman…
