Synopsis:

 

With a former supermodel mother and a rock-and-roll legend father, Emma Preston has the best of everything. Nothing is as perfect as it seems though. After her parents divorce, she’s forced to live with her mother in a private Santa Monica community. Ignoring their parental roles, her mother becomes more focused on climbing the social ladder while her father is off on tour.

 

Growing up in a trailer park with his mother, Jesse is used to people looking down on him. When his mother begs him to submit an application for a scholarship to one of Santa Monica’s top private schools, he never expects to actually get it. When he does, he is forced to attend school with a bunch of rich kids. He ignores their stares as they judge him for having tattoos and a less than impressive car. As long as he has his surfboard and the guys at the tattoo shop, he knows he can make it through.

 

When Jesse shows up on the first day of school, Emma can’t help but be intrigued. Her mother would never approve of Emma talking to someone so poor, but she doesn’t care because something about Jesse draws her to him.

 

Jesse tries to hate Emma, but he discovers that he can’t resist her. Forced to hide their relationship from Emma’s mother and everyone else around them, things start to fall apart. When Jesse’s friend, Ally, decides to interfere, things go from bad to worse.

 

Can they survive their first love? Or will they be left with nothing more than shattered ties?

Review by Lisa:

 

This book is amazing and I absolutely LOVE Emma and Jesse!!

 

Emma and Jesse met at age 6 and it wasn’t the best meeting. They meet again 11 years later when he becomes the new kid at school, but only Jesse remembers what happened so long ago.

 

Emma lives on the wealthy side of the town, and Jesse lives on the “trash” side of town; at least according to Emma’s mother.

 

Even though they come from opposite worlds, there is just something there that neither of them of them can deny.Jesse has preconceived notions about Emma because of their first meeting at age 6. But who can honestly hold a 6 year old responsible for the things that come out of their mouth?!

 

You can’t! And after spending time with Emma, Jesse is starting to realize that.

 

Jesse has never wanted a relationship and has now realized it’s because he has never met anyone like Emma.

 

She proves that she’s nothing like her mother and that she’s nothing like the little girl he met when they were 6.

 

After spending time getting to know each other, they enter into a relationship, but just as they get comfortable with it, it seems as though the people closest to them, don’t want them together.

 

Are they strong enough to stick by each other, or do they believe the lies that they are told instead of listening to their hearts?

 

Definitely recommend everyone read this book!

 

Jesse is amazing! He doesn’t put up with anyone’s crap and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. He’s HOT, TATTED, and such a SWEETHEART!! Oh and a smart a**! Lol

 

"I'm not sure if I should feel sorry for you or kick you out of my jeep at this point. You poor, sheltered child. How have you survives in this world without rock?"

 

Emma is definitely her own person. People judge her because her mom is stuck up and only cares about money, but Emma is the complete opposite! She is loving, smart, and could care less about money. She knows that money isn’t everything and can’t wait until she turns eighteen and can live her life the way she wants. Not the way her mother wants.

 

I Loved this book and it’s definitely a 5 Star read for me!!

 

Well done K.A. Robinson, well done!
