Publisher Description
For Olivia Adams, the world has always been too big or too small.
Forced to live her life caught between what she wanted for herself and the unfair choices and crazy obsession of those around her for as long as she could remember, Ollie has always felt confined and trapped. It was hard for her to imagine a future beyond the crushing control of those who wanted to make sure she paid the price for her role in a tragic accident that ruined several young lives. However, having no hope and living in a constant state of fear never stopped Ollie from dreaming of different ways to break free and how to reunite with the one person who always made her feel safe. Huck is the only one who ever made her feel like there was a place in his world, right by his side, that would fit her just right.
The world has always forced Huck Snyder to be a guy who runs either too hot or too cold.
Unwanted and barely tolerated, his temper burned hot and bright, often leading him into trouble. After the accident, he was tossed out, disowned, and forced to fend for himself. Struggling to survive, Huck quickly realized the only way he would make it was to freeze out every single memory and moment from his past. Especially those surrounding Ollie. He allowed his heart to harden into a block of ice and refused to let anyone close enough to melt it. Years have passed, and Huck has adjusted to the constant cold that permeates through his new life. He was in no way prepared for the only girl who could ever control his inner fire to show back up. Ollie is on the run and doesn't seem to mind the chilly reception she receives when she shows up unannounced on Huck's doorstep.
Fire and ice no longer define Huck because when he's with Ollie, it's easy to remember that the temperature between the two of them has always been just right.

Goldilocks by Jay Crownover
“You know, without Goldilocks, the bears lived a pretty boring life alone in the woods. They had each other, but they needed her to shake things up so they had a story to tell.”
Ok wow just when you think an author can’t too themselves Jay shows she can. Oh my I mean wow Ollie and Huck are just wow.
When you first meet Huck and Ollie you are not sure who you are going to dislike but they both win you over and fast. It doesn’t help that when Huck shows up he is rude and cruel with a bit of I don’t care attitude. Yet soon you see he has this tough guy exterior with a teddy bear interior. We soon see why he was how he was with Ollie and kinda want to dislike her but can’t.
Ollie is this skittish frightened girl who is trying to get close to the one person who ever made her feel safe. Ollie is running away from her past and Huck wants no part of it. They soon find out that not every thing is black and white that there too much grey area in between. They both have to face their past in order to get a future. I loved their connection and the love between them both a live that existed before they each knew what love was.
