Read 2 times. Last read March 29, 2013 to March 31, 2013.
Ugh this book was like the New Year's Eve Time Square ball of ratings for me. I started off with 5 stars...then 4...3...2...
If it wasn't for the flashback scenes this would have dropped to 1 star. Let me explain why. I adored the first part of the book. I liked the amnesia plot line and thought that the book was going in a really cool direction. All until Noah got his memory back. Then the book went waaaay down hill. It started with the irritatingly constant "angel" and "sweetheart" talk, and just turned to the ridiculous when it was revealed how Noah and Clark split in the first point (view spoiler). Then, Noah's totally over the top and aggressive possessiveness (which, BTW, would be considered just sick in a M/F book but for some reason is acceptable here?? I don't think so). Also, for some reason, I had a hard time following who was narrating each chapter. The POV changes were difficult for me.
Thankfully, the flashback scenes were sweet and lovely. I wish the story was more in that tone. I might read the next book in the series because I have heard good things about it. Unfortunately, this one was a miss for me.

I tried Something in the Way He Needs and couldn't make myself go past the first three chapters because although the other MC was cute and sweet, the narrator was also too overly possessive and bordering on stalker-ish for my comfort. >.< So many people seem to like his stories though, so I might give it another try with the sequel you mentioned. :)

This is EXACTLY how I felt about this book!5 stars (Amnesia? Okay, I guess I'll buy it.)
4 stars (apparently I just think it's stupid to call another person angel. Especially when you are 13 years old)...
3 stars (WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?)...
2 stars (DOORMAT! DOORMAT! DOORMAT!)
Ugh. The flashback scenes WERE lovely though... Kinda disappointed that this was my follow up to Perfect Imperfections. :(

YES!! If you are going to try another Cardeno C, I'd go with Walk With Me.
Perfect review, exactly my thoughts too

Exactly the way I feel. The beginning was "ok" but the minute my eyes started reading the cheese romanticisms I kind of lost interest.

Exactly my thoughts. The reveal of what had happened to split them up was a real WTF for me. And yeah the possessiveness was creepy.
