Burnout (Jack 'Em Up Prequel) by Shauna Allen

Burnout by Shauna Allen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Temptation of First Love . . .

Blake Travers is a lot of things—rebel, grease monkey, tortured poor boy with a painful past. But the one thing he knows he’s not, is worthy . . . of success, of love, of a second chance.
And certainly not worthy of Delilah Jackson.

Delilah has the perfect life. Daughter of the Sheriff and County Judge, she has it all. Except the one thing she needs most . . . unconditional love. Is her attraction to Blake a fluke? A way to breach the confines of her suffocating existence? Or is he The One?

One fateful encounter changes everything . . .

When these two collide, sparks fly, but their differences threaten to break them.
Can the resident bad boy and princess of Baybridge find their way? Or will the pain separating them kill their love before it starts?


_________________________



Blake and Delilah (who you'll come to adore) have somewhat of a Romeo & Juliet situation going on. He's a grease monkey barely getting by in school while she's the perfect daughter of the town's Sheriff. Blake doesn't think he can offer her everything she deserves but nevertheless... could Delilah be the one to put together the pieces of a life shattered after his mother's death?

I wasn't expecting a YA/NA love story from Shauna but this is one with plenty of depth and spirit. It will break your heart, patch it back up, and get the happy tears flowing before you've turned the last page. Thankfully, it doesn't end with a cliffhanger but I was excited to find out that their story is continuing on with 'Crank' next year. I can't wait to see what the future holds for these two!
