    About this ebook

    Trailer park born and raised. It’s my legacy. That’s how my mama lived. And that’s how her mama lived. It’s the life I was born into and it’s the life I swore I would leave the second I was old enough to make it out.

    Only legacies have a funny way of sneaking up on you. An innocent decision the night of high school graduation led to a series of complications in my plans to escape.

    Seven years later, I’ve resigned myself to this small town and the roots I’m tied to. Nothing could make me leave. And nothing could make me spill the secrets that keep me here.

    Until he walks back into town with a chip on his shoulder and a stupid hunch nobody else in town has been smart enough to follow.

    Levi Cole is my opposite. Born on the right side of the tracks with family money to spare, he’s the kind of black sheep that can afford to be rebellious—because his family will always pay for his mistakes. He’s also the only living heir to Cole Family Farms, after his brother Logan was killed in duty seven years ago.

    He sees something in my life that he thinks he has a right to. But he’s wrong. And obnoxious. And he needs to take his stubborn good looks and that intense way he looks at me and go back to wherever it was he came from.

    I know better than to trust men like him. I was born and raised in a trailer park, I know nothing good happens to girls like me—girls with trailer park lives and trailer park hearts. Especially from gorgeous, kind, pigheaded men like him.

      So the synopsis of this book pulled me in. However, I feel like the book fell flat for me. The plot was fine, the characters were fine. Everything was fine. Just fine.

      I wasn’t so much more. I thought that Ruby was just okay. A bit jaded and wishy washy. The people in this town judged her and she judged them right back. She thought everyone was out to get here while there were so many people who liked her and wanted to be friends with her. She just never gave them a chance. Her “woe is me” and ”screw everyone in this town” commentary got old really quick!

      In the reviews that I read, everyone said that Levi was the best part of this book. I did like him a bit and thought that he was a good catch. Well, up until the point he found out the big secret. Did he have a right to be upset? Yes. However, some of the things he said to her and how he treated her was uncalled for.

      The best part about this book was her son Max. Everything else here was okay and not really memorable.
