3.5 stars

Beckett had a rough childhood.  The one person that is suppose to love you more than life itself, really couldn't be bothered by him.  His mom, left him at home, alone, even at the age of 5 and younger.  She abused him both physically and mentally.  Beat him and called him names.  He was always smaller than everyone else at school, so he did get picked on a lot.  Until Harlow became his friend.

Harlow was his best friend, from the age of 5.  They were inseparable, until his mom moved them to Oregon from WA when he was around 12.  Harlow would stand up to the bullies for him, she was his little protector.  A strong little girl, that other kids didn't mess with.  Beckett's mom took everything from him, so he lost contact with Harlow.

Both Harlow and Beckett have been through a lot.  He finally decides to hire a PI to help find her.  Little does he know that she will be coming back into his life sooner than that though.  A chance stop at a local bakery and everything changes for both of them.

Now it's his turn to protect Harlow from an abusive and violent ex boyfriend.  

This was a good read.  I did feel like the story line was rushed though.  I felt that sometimes there was too much detail and others I felt like there should have been more.  Harlow was such a strong little girl, and I understand what she went through with her ex and all, but, I felt like she should have stood up for herself a little bit more when she saw Beckett again.  She was spitting mad, but gave in so easy to him.  There are quiet a few 5 star reviews for this book, so I'm not in the norm.  I would say give it a chance and read it though.  It's a good read and is enjoyable.
