But all that changes when Chase Donovan, an Air Force brat with a protective streak, shows up at school. Will Chase be the key to helping her solve her stalker problem? Will he be the key to solving the mystery surrounding her family’s past?

Good Reads Summary

Maddie needs a hero.  Her hero comes in the form of Chase Donovan; the love story begins from here.  Chase makes for a great hero, he's charismatic, handsome, protective, loving, etc... and the author doesn't overdo these qualities-he still seems human.  The novel switches the point of view from Maddie to Chase, giving the reader the opportunity to view both of their thoughts and decisions.  Maddie has a few rough edges, but this just adds to the appeal.  The plot is very unique for a fantasy YA novel. The novel contains humor, romance, action, drama, and mystery <-the best qualities for a terrific YA book.  The dialogue was easy to follow and kept the readers interest.  There were no lengthy descriptions and the book itself was fast-paced.  This book is recommended for young adults who enjoy fantasy novels.
