At the tender age of 17, Scarlett Rose was the well-known, well-liked and respectable daughter of the only preacher in Carmel, Pastor Joseph and his wife, Lily Horak. Until then, Scarlett Rose had presented herself with utmost dignity and led her life as a teenager in a proper and orderly fashion, as was expected from her. She by no means at all questioned her father's strict and commanding rules, while she remained blithe and content to oblige under his authority.
From the moment she met Blade Bannister, it all changed. All she had ever thought was true and correct had altered instantly. She rebelled against her father and her Church. She fearlessly questioned him and his religion. Blade Bannister transported her into a world of excitement, exhilaration and love, while she was keen to surrender entirely to his power over her. For the first time in her life, she had fallen unreservedly and unconditionally in love with the boy from the wrong side of the tracks whose broken and shattered family had been at war with the Horak's for centuries before.
Scarlett remained unerringly devoted to her love for him while exploring the stars and her make-believe enchantment through her sand castles. She in no way at all could foresee or predict the devastation the future would hold when she discovered Pastor Joe's horrifying and mortal betrayal. The world Blade had sworn to rescue her to, no longer existed as the crushing and devastating revelation made way for an entirely shattering, yet unexpected forever. A beautifully written story of a young girl who stands up to a manipulative father to choose love.
Her mother stands up to him and supports her. I enjoyed the setting but I was blind sided by that twist. Wonderful story.****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** 5.0 out of 5 stars Tugs Heartstrings <3This novel is amazing and well written.

March 10, 2018Format: Kindle EditionThis is definitely my most favorite book by far. The author, Alice VL is an amazing story teller. From the start to finish you actually live the story... but....there is an amazing unexpected twist in this book. I never saw it coming until I got to a certain point and had to back track as I could not believe what I had just read. Very sneaky Alice VL .and I'm not going to give it away.
