But then twenty-year-old ex-Marine Julian Wyatt comes to live with Cami's family while recovering from serious injuries. And suddenly Cami finds herself questioning everything she thought she wanted.
Julian's all attitude, challenges and intense green-brown eyes. But beneath that abrasive exterior is a man who just might be as lost as Cami's starting to feel.

This book will definitely stir you up!!! I caught myself smiling ALOT!!! Such a great story! I am a sucker for young love and WOW...this was such a fun and inspiring love story. Cami is a senior in high school and all she wants to do after graduation is become a chef, following in her dads footsteps. Julian is a 20 year old Marine who finds myself living with his aunt after he is seriously wounded in Afghanistan.

 Julian's aunt happens to be Cami's stepmother. At first Julian acted liked he hated Cami but I knew he was going to open up to her! Their chemistry is HOT!!! The way Cami describes kissing Julian...OMG! I was so happy for them!!! They both have to decide what to do with their lives now that high school is over for Cami and the Marine's are over for Julian.

 I was not sure about their plan to keep their future plans a secret from each other and I did not see that ending coming but I LOVED it!!! I would highly recommend this book! I give it 5 stars!
