One of us is innocent and the other far from it.

College senior Willow Young has two goals this year: to graduate and lose her v-card. The first seems easy and the second almost impossible. Guys don’t notice her when Celeste, her roommate and step-sister, is considered the hottest girl on campus. When Ashton Westborough, a gorgeous football player, comes to her rescue in more ways than one, she stupidly falls hard for him even though the walls to his heart are impenetrable.

When they end up in his room... his bed, he’s powerless to stop what happens next.

Ashton has no intention of playing professional football after graduation no matter how good he is. Though he has no idea where the future will lead him, anywhere is better than the shitty childhood he endured. One thing he knows for sure is that he’s done with love. The idea of using mindless sex to forget the past may be the best idea. When Willow and her mass of sunlit curls repeatedly find their way in his tortured thoughts, he vows not to let his darkness consume her. After one sizzling night together, he’s the one surprised to find himself unable to let go.

I was SO excited to get Ashton’s story. I knew there was so much more to it and Terri delivered that to us on every level. His childhood was nothing short of traumatic. The details of his past are relived as we bounce back from past to present flawlessly. The how and why of his actions as a young adult are tied to his past experiences. Your heart will ache for Ashton on every level as he tries to navigate his feelings for his best friend, Sawyer, and what Sawyer means to him. The bond these two have is simply amazing. The love and devotion they have for one another is epic. But is it more than just best friends?

Willow is a kind, soft spoken soul that has always felt second best to her step-sister. To see her flourish and become more confident of herself as time moves on in this love story was great. Her calm, enduring manner pulled Ashton to her on every level. She was a soothing balm to his aching heart. She is exactly what Ashton needs in his life. I could have not asked for a better heroine to fit in Ashton’s jagged puzzle.

I loved Ashton on every level. He was sensitive, kind, yet insecure. He was a beautiful soul that simply needed someone to listen and understand him. Willow did that for him. She helped to show him what they were both missing in their lives. She was patient with him as they navigated the undeniable connection they had for one another. The complimented each other on every level. Although they were unsure of themselves, to see them open up and trust one another was a beautiful journey to be on. This is a beautiful cast of characters, I highly recommend this book, as well as the rest of the series.

But wow, what a powerful story. One showing just how evil humans can be, and one that shows how love ❤️ can heal. There are two things I abhor ( these two are the worst), and they are abusing children and animals. And when it comes time for judgment because let’s face it humans are very imperfect and so is the judicial system, but when it comes from a higher source we will all be judged accordingly. And for these humans who were given the highest form of intelligence knowing right from wrong come up for their sentencing....I pray with everything in me they know what their evil feels like🤬...... getting that said, these two kids I fell in love with 😍 her for her loving ♥️ heart, him for being open to allow love to shine through and not let the evil done to him rob him. This once again shows that even under the very horrendous of situations you don’t have to allow that to define your outcome, so when people turn out bad it is by choice not by how they were brought up.

Oh Ashton I waited so long for you and your story. You have intrigued us since you first showed up in Chasing Butterflies and now we know all those secrets you keep. Your story didn't disappoint it was just as amazing as you are. Terri E. Laine's Chasing Butterflies Series has captured my heart from the very beginning when we meet four boys entering college and playing football. Ashton was always the mysterious one of the bunch and quiet. He seemed to always look toward his friend and constant companion Sawyer for his next step. But Sawyer is finding a different way and Ashton is left wondering what his next step will be on his own. He quickly finds a new way as you learn about the past that made Ashton wonder who he really is and what he will become without relying on his best friend. I love Ashton and I love the his story. Thanks Terri E. Laine for giving me my boys - Kelley, Chance, Sawyer and Ashton.
