Falyn Fairchild can walk away from anything. Already leaving behind her car, her education, and even her parents, the daughter of the next governor of Colorado is back in her hometown, broke and waiting tables for the Bucksaw Café. After every shift, Falyn adds to her shoebox of cash, hoping to one day save enough to buy her a plane ticket to the only place she can find forgiveness: Eakins, Illinois.
The moment Taylor Maddox is seated in Falyn’s section at the Bucksaw, she knows he’s trouble. Taylor is charming, breaks promises, and gorgeous even when covered in filth—making him everything Falyn believes a hotshot firefighter to be. Falyn isn’t interested in becoming another statistic, and for a Maddox boy, a disinterested girl is the ultimate challenge.
Once Falyn learns where Taylor calls home, everything changes. In the end, Maddox persistence is met with Falyn’s talent for leaving, and for the first time, Taylor may be the one to get burned.

Okay, Maddox brothers???? hot damn. Love them all.
But.....
This book really freaking annoyed me. (will get to that part)
Falyn waits tables at the local cafe, where she basically lives, eats and socializes. She never leaves.
She has secrets, one I didn't understand fully until the end. Falyn needs to go to where Taylor calls home, she makes it sound like she's been trying to get there for a long time, but to me, she could have just gone. The owners of the cafe look to her as a daughter and offered to pay etc, but she held back. But as soon as she finds out where Taylor is from she changes her attitude and starts to give the charming fire fighter a chance.
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor.... I still don't know what to think of him. He's hot, he's funny, arrogant, and a complete ass.
He finds himself drawn to Taylor and at first it's just to get in her pants I think, but then he gets to know her. They start spending time with each other but then he finds something that has to do with Falyn's secret and tells her he will take her home with him.
Which he does....
The secrets was guessable, and I guessed it straight off, but it still made me shed a tear for Talyn and what she had lived with.
Anyway.....
Maybe, kind of, SPOILER ALERTS AHEAD....
When the going gets tough and Tayln asks for some time to think, Taylor does what any red blooded male would do. He runs to the nearest chick and CHEATS!!! Freaking cheats.
After that the book was ruined for me. It really was. Yeah if they were broken up and didn't think they were getting back together I could look past his betrayal, but nuh, huh, he knew.
Not only did he know but he still made her travel to his brothers wedding, where he finally dropped that bombshell. I couldn't believe it. And she stays. Freaking STAYS.
NO MORE SPOILERS
She decides to stay and work it out with him and not long after another BOMB SHELL is dropped on them.
She doesn't really end things with him, she just walks out leaving her phone, and he doesn't even fight for her. THAT really annoyed me too.
Events happen and they are drawn back together, very much in love, and there is a happy ending.
I enjoyed the book, don't get me wrong, it was real, so beyond real. I'm not saying she shouldn't have given him the chance, girls do, I did with an ex partner, but for me, what they had he shouldn't have cheated on her. It killed me that he did and it's not even real LOL
4*
