~ What's It About? ~
One summer.
One chance meeting.
One devastating phone call.
MacKenna Trist is not happy about spending a month with her family in Myrtle Beach. She would rather be at home, hanging out with her friends, before starting her senior year of high school. That is, until she meets the guy staying in the beach house next door.
Roe Gamble is speechless when he first lays eyes on Mac. Normally, pretty girls are his specialty but not this girl. From this girl, he wants more. More of everything. More than she can give him. Most importantly, more time to show her how he feels about her.
But time is working against them in more ways than one.
How much time do you really need to fall in love?
What would you gamble to hold onto it?

~ My Thoughts ~
Wow if I ever thought their was going to be a story to test my emotions it is this one hands down. I felt myself stopping reading this story because my emotions were going crazy the sad the happy my mind couldn't keep up with what the characters were going thru. This has been a truly amazing story from the first page down to the last. I was even left on a small cliffhanger which makes it seem like there could be more or couldn't be more to the story. That's what makes it great!!
The story is a 2person POV and that was wonderful got to see how each character loves and has lost something important and the emotional roller coaster that they have went on. This Author did an amazing job with the story I really can't put into words why it took me so long to read this story I feel really bad about that. I want to give my thanks to this wonderful author for sharing such an amazing story with me and being so patient as well. This has been truly an wonderful and beautiful story on paper. The words really spoke to me as a person as I have had hard times getting over loved ones and this really helped me open my eyes up so thank you!!

~ Excerpt ~
I remember the first time I saw him. I remember how in awe I was of him. His presence was overwhelming. I was speechless, kind of like I am right now. The only thing I could really do was stare. His beauty was blinding. I knew at that moment that I wanted more from him than he would probably be willing to give. Guys like him only want one thing. Girls like me, we want everything.
He was that everything for me. I wanted him, body and soul. I wanted his heart, his love. What I never expected was for him to give it to me. Unconditionally. Freely.
I loved him. He loved me. At least he said that he did. Love can’t really conquer all, though. Can it?
He was that everything for me. I wanted him, body and soul. I wanted his heart, his love. What I never expected was for him to give it to me. Unconditionally. Freely.
I loved him. He loved me. At least he said that he did. Love can’t really conquer all, though. Can it?
His eyes are sparkling. His mouth is hanging open slightly and I can see his chest rising and falling. This man, he’s everything I ever wanted. Why did I let him go so easily? Why didn’t he fight harder? Why did I?
I feel a hand at the base of my back but I don’t turn my head. That would mean that I would have to break eye contact with him and I don’t think I can do that. I feel my heart breaking at just the thought of turning my head and looking away. I know I will have to eventually.
“Everything okay, babe?”
I hate it when he calls me that. He knows how degraded I feel when he calls me babe. He only does it when he’s trying to mark his territory. Why not just whip it out and take a piss on my foot?
I open my mouth to speak when I see a leggy blonde step in front of him. I can’t see her face but she is tapping her foot like she’s irritated. I have a feeling that one of the steaming cups in his hand must belong to her.
He hands them both to her and steps around her. He slowly takes another step and he’s only a few feet away from me. One more step and he’s standing in front of me now and I’m staring at his chest. I can’t bear to look up. I have a feeling that I am going to be able to see how much I broke his heart just by staring into his beautiful brown eyes.
