I'm not sure what possessed me to do it. Maybe it was the impossible expectations I faced, maybe it was my own self-loathing. But I just knew I needed something different to happen. I needed someone...something...to derail me from my current path. Otherwise, I would become lost...a hollowed out shell of a man. So I did it. I approached her, then I pursued her, then I made her mine. And my life was saved...Ryan Burnham is the privileged son of a U.S. Congressman and captain of his university's hockey team. While he is on the verge of fulfilling his dreams to play in the NHL, his parents want him on a different course. One he is expected to accept for the sake of his family's public image. Forced to abandon her music career after the heart breaking death of her parents, Danny Cross exists on the opposite side of the tracks from Ryan. She is struggling to make her own way, working two jobs, attending college part time and volunteering in a homeless shelter. She is on a mission to build her own success. With a chance meeting, their vastly different worlds collide, causing each to evaluate whether they are truly on the correct path to self-fulfillment and happiness. Can their relationship survive? Particularly when others are against them every step of the way. A lot can happen in just ten short days...… (meer)

I didn't think I was gonna like it very much but it was sweet and it made me smile. Wasn't crazy about the flow and how things happened so abruptly sometimes; maybe that had to do with it being just a tad over the usual short story length and the author wanted to get to the point quicker. I also didn't believe some of the dialogue and interactions sometimes too kinda turned me off. Some of the dialogue was a bit outrageous and unexpected. This book had some redeeming qualities for me because of the likable characters and the very flawed one as well, were interesting to say the least. The story although not new was engaging and likable. ( )

So where other people found this book a bit rushed I think it was just the speed I needed for the night. I felt like Yes they fell in love a little fast but the book was so fast paced that I did not really mind.

I felt for the most part the author did a great job of character development and incorporated this with the two characters falling in love. I did not feel that we really got to know Ryan's background except that his mother was a royal bitch. I would have liked to known his dad's stance on the whole thing.

I loved the other characters in the book and I feel as though everything was put together very nicely and the book had me from the beginning. It was fast paced and if you blinked you may miss out on something very important but I will definitely be reading the next book in the series. ( )

DNF for the time being. Written in 1st person POV, which I rarely like. ( )

This is a wonderful story of two people from different monetary classes who fall in love despite all the nastiness that surrounds them. Highly recommended read. ( )
