Blue Echohawk doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know her real name or when she was born. Abandoned at two and raised by a drifter, she didn't attend school until she was ten years old. At nineteen, when most kids her age are attending college or moving on with life, she is just a senior in high school. With no mother, no father, no faith, and no future, Blue Echohawk is a difficult student, to say the least.

Tough, hard, and overtly sexy, she is the complete opposite of the young British teacher who decides he is up for the challenge, and takes the troublemaker under his wing.

This is the story of a nobody who becomes somebody. It is the story of an unlikely friendship, where hope fosters healing and redemption becomes love. But falling in love can be hard when you don't know who you are. Falling in love with someone who knows exactly who they are and exactly why they can't love you back might be impossible.

I have read 5 more recent books by Amy Harmon and enjoyed them a lot. This one started out well, with an interesting and conflicted main character and a story line that piqued my curiosity from the first chapter. The only thing that I didn’t care for in the first half of this book was the dreadful English accent (a completely improbable mix of Cockney and upper class British) attempted by the reader. I kept hoping that the character Wilson, who was Blue’s British history teacher, would assume a minor role as the story progressed. Unfortunately the opposite is true, and several more British characters are added compounding the narration issue.
I gave the story 3 stars based on the strength of the first half and my love of Harmon, but the second half of this book is really a Harlequin romance with all of the cringeworthy plot devices I remembered from when I was 13 years old. The weak writing (how many times are Wilson’s handsome looks mentioned???), which seemed to get progressively more melodramatic, surprised and dismayed me after the solid first half. If the book hadn’t been by a favourite author I very likely wouldn’t have finished it.

This is the second Amy Harmon book I have listened to. I love her narrative and character development. It is a story of how no matter what circumstances you are born into or bad choices you make there can be a better life out there for you. It is a story of how people can influence your life in a positive way. Teachers can turn a life around by looking underneath the behavior to make a student shine from their souls. It was a story I could relate to having had a few teachers over the years who inspired me to be the person I am today.

This is a good story, but editing req’d to tighten it up as it drones on in some places.
Narrator’s British accent terrible, It is comprised of several dialects and the voice of that character did not make the reader think of someone likeable.

Narrator’s voices and accent made listening difficult
