After a tragic accident that plays on an endless loop in her mind, wild child Kate Jolie died inside. She now functions only through her rigid, ironclad routine, which keeps her mind and soul in check – balancing her in a dangerously precarious position between life and death
Rocker and Master's student Sam North knows no limits and seeks out every challenge to conquer and defy. With his cocky grin, piercings, colorful tattoos, undress-you bedroom eyes and magnetic sex appeal, he has no trouble finding women to warm his bed. When he spies his new professor, the gorgeous Ms. Jolie, she’s just another summit he wants to climb in order to reach its peak. But as he begins to catch glimpses of her soul, she becomes his Everest.
Kate Jolie is the only woman who wants nothing to do with Sam North - and the only woman he can’t do without.

Let me just say I LOVE the North boys!! I want to be part of
their family!
Their family is just amazing and they are so close that you just
love them! I loved this book!!
It was such a powerful romance. This is Kate and
Sam’s Story.
I have to say a laughed a lot throughout this book. Sam is
quiet a character and accept accept No for an answer. He is your ultimate
playboy, never wants to settle down. He has a lot going for him from his music
career to his racing career. He’s feeling torn between the two on which one to
pursue so he decides to finish his Master’s Degree. On his first day of class
he walks end with a hot little blonde bent over picking up her papers. Of
course Sam hits on her and asks her out and she politely tells him No. Sam
being Sam doesn’t do “No” so when she tells him she is the professor Sam isn't
the least turned off. He is hell bent to be her friend and get to know her.
His
confidence is what makes you love him so much!
Catherine Jolie looks normal from the outside. Gorgeous,
smart and has a great job.
Truth is she is dead. She is completely dead inside.
She puts on a persona to get through each day. She is like a robot and her
routine is the same thing every day. She takes medicine for panic attacks and
has been seeing a shrink weekly for the past 5 years. My heart broke for her!
When I found out what her pain is and why she lived the way she did it wrecked
me!! I had silent tears running down my face! It was so real and you felt every
bit of her emotion. Catherine had no idea that the teaching position she
applied for would change her life and that a rocker, bad boy would bring her
back to life.
Watching these two grow as friends to lovers was beautiful.
I fell for Sam hard. He was perfect and knew exactly what Kate needed. He was so
patient with her and took care of her. The lengths he went to and seeing him
change was amazing. Also the man was a beast in the bed! HOTT!!! I enjoyed
their story so much that I could go on and on. If you have not read this book
or any of the True North series you are missing out! I am ecstatic for the next
book!!
“When I first saw you, you were so stunning I couldn’t think straight,” Sam began.
“When you first saw me you were looking at my ass,” I reminded him.
“Okay, you’re right.” Sam admitted with his hands in surrender. “But in my defense, it is a really fine ass.”
I rolled my eyes and swallowed a flattered laugh.
He continued, “But as the weeks went on, I saw that your intelligence matched your beauty, and Jolie, combined … you left me breathless. I had to get to know you. Then when you got sick behind More Hall, you showed so much strength …”
“Strength? I freaked out and puked all over you.”
“You fell apart and pulled yourself back together again. That took raw guts, Jolie. Trust me, I’ve known a couple people who’ve lived through some nasty things. It takes a hell of a lot of strength to get to the other side of it.”
I worried my bottom lip. He saw me as beautiful and strong?
“I can see the pain behind your eyes and the shadow you’re trying to live with—twenty-six years old with a PhD—you stopped living at some point and became driven. And your clothes—you’re trying to be invisible, which is virtually impossible for you because you have an amazing body.” He cocked an eyebrow at me, and if I had felt any anger at his intuition and bold assessment, it melted. “I want to know you. So, are you going to give our friendship a chance?”
In six years no one had ever done this to me, made me want to come out of the hiding place I’d built. I knew my voice would be pained and small but I spoke anyway.
“How do we do it?”
I expected his face to light up with his telltale smile, but it didn’t. Instead he became really serious. “No plan, Jolie. We live for each moment, each day. We find now and hold ourselves in that space until we’re ready to make a new one.”
“Okay … Sam. Friends.” I held out my hand to his.
He regarded it for a moment, took it like he was about to shake it, then said, “Ah, what the hell,” and yanked me up against him, putting his arms around me and folding me into a deep hug.
I liked the feel of him very much.
