About this eBook

Sometimes you have to lose yourself to find where you truly belong . . .

Most girls would kill to spend months traveling around Europe after college graduation with no responsibility, no parents, and no-limit credit cards. Kelsey Summers is no exception. She's having the time of her life . . . or that's what she keeps telling herself.

It's a lonely business trying to find out who you are, especially when you're afraid you won't like what you discover. No amount of drinking or dancing can chase away Kelsey's loneliness, but maybe Jackson Hunt can. After a few chance meetings, he convinces her to take a journey of adventure instead of alcohol. With each new city and experience, Kelsey's mind becomes a little clearer and her heart a little less hers. Jackson helps her unravel her own dreams and desires. But the more she learns about herself, the more Kelsey realizes how little she knows about Jackson.

Ratings and reviews

I can’t say the writing was bad or the story was awful, but I guess it just wasn’t what I was expecting, and in that sense it was a disappointment. Perhaps if I had known what I was getting into, I would have chosen to read the book at a different time, when I wasn’t looking for the same lighthearted fun I found at the beginning of the series. Whatever the case, the traipsing across Europe, the parties, the angst… It just wasn’t the right story for me.

I am no longer "twenty something" like the author Cora Carmack is described as. Her writing and use of imagery still sends me right back there though and age doesn't matter. She makes me believe in picking up my own pen again, and that's where age doesn't matter anymore either, for being so good at evoking the dreams again, I can only say thank you.

I'm hooked. **Update** I know many will find it difficult to relate with the main character. She has a complex edgy personality. As i kept reading I started to relate with her more and more. Once I picked up this book I couldn't stop until it was done. Hunt is by far one of my most favorite characters from the Author's books. It would be neat to read a book telling the story from Hunt's point of view also elaborating more about his past.
