When
Liv Bennett said good-bye to her sinkhole of a hometown, she planned to leave
that chapter of her life behind forever. But forever turned out to only be
three years.
After
her addict of a mother up and disappears, Liv returns to what she considers her
own personal hell smack in the middle of nowhere Nevada to take care of her two
younger sisters, and she promptly reinstitutes the golden rule that got her
through her first nineteen years of life without getting knocked up, roughed
up, or messed up: don’t date the local boys and, god forbid, don’t fall in love
with one of them.
It
isn’t long before that golden rule is put to the test.
Will
Goods grew up in the next trailer over, but the wild, careless boy who used to
tear up the town with his three brothers has morphed into someone else so
completely, he’s almost unrecognizable. The quiet, contemplative man who works
on cars every night and takes care of his mentally ill mother every day is
nothing like the local boys Liv grew up avoiding.
But
when Liv considers suspending her golden rule just this once, she finds out
something about Will that will change everything.
Will
Goods isn’t who he used to be—he’s not even the man Liv thinks she’s gotten to
know over the summer. He’s become someone else entirely.
He’s
become . . .
Damaged
Goods.
4 Stars
So far, Damaged Good is my favorite in the series (note: these are all standalone!). This book is filled with heartache, tough love and a wow...some big surprises!
Liv Bennett is one tough chick! She's had a crappy life, but was determined to make it better. She goes to school and works hard. She financially takes care of her younger sisters, since their mother is pretty much useless.
When she gets a call that her mother fled and left her sisters alone, Liv heads back home to take care of them. Dropping everything behind and making sure her sisters are OK.
Heading back home to the small town with hardly any money, Liv is determined to make ends meet.
Liv soon meets her neighbor, Will. Will Goods is such a refreshing character. Will becomes a great neighbor to the girls and the friendship and attraction between Liv and Will soon grow.
But secrets and twists (and OMG--it totally shocked the hell out of me!) slowly come to surface. And I will not spill..
Damaged Goods had a bit of everything in it--I love the relationship between Liv and her sisters, it was perfect, but they loved and took care of each other. And Liv and Will were sweet at first and it became hot. It's a great read for the weekend and another one is this series!
