It’s a tale as old as time: The bad boy meets the good girl. He makes a daring proposition. Then the boy gets a mysterious head injury and loses a year of his life....
The first time I meet Rickie, I don’t know what to make of him. The second time we meet, he doesn’t remember the six hours we spent together. Or standing me up afterward.
I’m not the same, either. I’ve got secrets. I’ve told lies. Bad boys aren’t my type, anyway. Even the ones with troubled gray eyes.
But now we’re roommates. Cue the awkward moments in the hallway when he’s wearing only a towel and a smile. He’s determined to win me over, and his talented hands weaken my resolve.
It’s all fun and games until my past rears its ugly head and his secrets come to light, shaking our fragile connection, maybe even breaking it....
Note: This is Daphne Shipley's story. Contents include Vermont-y ice cream flavors, nerdy awkwardness, tattoos, and a playboy grandpa.

This story absolutely stole my heart and I loved every minute of listening to it. I am a huge fan of the True North series, every book makes me want to pack my bags and head to the farm in Vermont with the whole Shipley family. The heart of this storyline was so much deeper than I expected with both Daphne and Rickie experiencing some truly tragic and painful moments in their past but my heart was invested and so in love with this story. Even with the tough subject matter this story had me laughing and smiling and genuinely falling in love through their sexy banter and journey to friendship and so much more.
“Maybe I don't need a reason to kiss a bad boy in the starlight. It's such a relief to sink into his touch. And to stop thinking so hard.”
Daphne is so hard on herself, she is part of this big tight knit family but doesn’t feel like she can open herself up to them anymore. Family played a big role in this story and the Shipley’s truly are so open and loving, and Daphne’s journey to forgiving herself and letting them back in had me a little misty eyed.
And Rickie, he is the biggest sweetheart, he is flirtatious and funny and just an all around great guy. I LOVED him for Daphne, the two of them together just felt right, he was the laughter and light that she needed in her life. But my empathetic heart hurt so much for Rickie and all his struggles to get his memory back, I wanted to wrap him in my arms for a hug! There was the perfect amount of heat, laughter and moments of overcoming tragedy that truly made this a great listen for me!
Powerful Romance!

As for Daphne, she's never known what to make of Rickie: the first time they met was through a ride-share where he drove her back and forth from Connecticut to Vermont. She thought they had really hit it off and accepted his invitation to dinner and a party (and other things) - but he never showed up and never answered her texts. Now, he seems to pretend he's never seen her before!
Told through dual POV, with a few flash back chapters in 3rd person, the story lets you piece together how they met and what actually happened. Even with the weird misunderstanding, Daphne can't resist the cheeky, sassy and endearing Rickie.
We met Daphne in book 1, she had really turned into a brat by book 3 and now she's finally grown up. Rickie was a very prominent side character in Heartland and I fell in love with him in that book. (This is definitely a standalone, but you have so much more fun if you have read the other books in the series).
There is the obvious mystery of what happened to Rickie during those 6 months and why he has no memory whatsoever of those days and Daphne is also dealing with secrets of her own:no one in the family understands why she's transferring from her dream Ivy League school to a state school back home. So, there is this mystery element to the book that really makes you not want to put it down, especially since, as the small bits and pieces come together, you start to fear that these two were really really hurt.
There's a Shipley engagement and a wedding and a few other people in the Shipley family seem to have found a second chance at love. I hope Sarina keeps writing this series - we're out of Shipley's but there are Rossis! *nudge*
Narration: Callie Dalton brings the snarky, take no prisoners Daphne to life perfectly (as well as the other voices). There would be no better choice for the cocky Rickie than my super favorite Zachary Webber. (I should just have a "copy and paste-ready" paragraph to save me typing. Seriously. He rocks. And not only as Rickie! SO many voices!
Rep and Possible triggers: Rickie identifies as heteroromantic pansexual (but it's a blip in the screen and makes no difference in the story, imho). Amnesia, PTSD, mentions of vi0lent acts and rape (off page), FMC mentions shooting an animal
Rickie and Daphne!
