BLURB

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 is 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.

BOOK REVIEW
5/5

Image result for painful gif

This book TORE me into pieces.

It's chilling...

It's gruesome...

It's painful...

And it's something that I can't unread

Yes, this book is not for the faint of heart. But this is effin happening in society, and Terrie E. Laine is brave enough to cross bounderies and talk about taboos that we have long forgotten, or we have blinded ourselves of. 

Craving Dragonflies is my first book in the series, and it made me want to read everything else, only after my heart recovers from Ashton's story. Yep, it needs to heal first. Because the story will break your heart.

The blurb sounded so simple, and so promising - Willow just wanted to graduate and lose her V-card along the way. But then she meets the complicated Ashton - whom confused and intrigued her at the same time. She heard things about him, but she wanted to know him better rather than believe all the rumors. After all, she was warned against him, and yet he keeps on saving her when she needed help.

Ashton has secrets - deep, dark, and dangerous secrets that he wants to keep to himself. He just wanted to be alone - to think. What he really wants in his life, what he really is and what he is going to do with himself. What he didn't expect was Willow - the girl who came rushing into his life and set his world into a new orbit he never realized existed.

Craving Dragonflies was pure torture at some points,  but there was redemption. It is more than just a sexy, sports-college romance (although it's a given). It's a story of devastation, of pain, and yet somehow along the way, it became a story of hope and love. That in the darkest of hours, in the deepest pain that we can ever feel - hope will always be there.
