Scarlet finds out Bridger's secret pretty quickly and helps support him, but when it comes to hers.

This romance actually progresses pretty fast compared to the previous book, but it needs to, because these two have a lot to deal with, hopefully together. He doesn't really have time to date except for a few stray afternoon hours after class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but that's enough for him and Scarlet to start studying together.and ahem, doing more than studying. (Which sounds a little wrong to me-dude is of legal age and an upstanding citizen-but Bridger is pretty convinced that he has to do it all alone.) Bridger is convinced that once Lucy ends up in the foster care system, he'll never see her again and he'll never get custody because he's a broke college student on scholarship. Now he's too busy working a job and watching Lucy for hockey, he's trying to get two degrees at once, and he's hiding Lucy from pretty much everyone that isn't his neighbor in the dorms, including his friends. Ever since he discovered how bad his mom's drug habit got and he took his 8-year-old little sister Lucy out of the house and illegally into his dorm room. But Bridger's life has changed drastically from the man-whore party boy hockey stud rep he had sophomore year. And she meets and falls in love with Bridger, Adam's best friend in the previous book. Her roommates, both named Katie, seem like bubbly dimwits at first but turn out to be pretty nice in a pinch. She's also giving up her own hockey career and claiming to be from another state in hopes that nobody will recognize her in Connecticut.Īnd things start out pretty well. She's legally changed her name-after The Scarlet Letter-and desperately hoping she can start a new life at the one college that would still take her (other than her dad's school) after the news broke out. While she doesn't quite know if her dad did it (he didn't molest her, but ah, little girls weren't his type), but she knows he's an asshole and it's quite likely. Shannon was stalked by reporters and treated as a horrible pariah at school her senior year. Her jerkass dad was a famous hockey coach who turned out to be the Jerry Sandusky of the sport.

Scarlet Crowley, formerly known as Shannon Ellison, has had a shit year.

God, wasn't that the question of the hour? 'I don't know. How much should we put up with as payment for being born?' I'm reviewing the two in one book review since novellas are short and the plot of that one does take place immediately after the book. The Year We Hid Away is linked here, the novella sequel Blonde Date is linked here.
