****Mature Audiences only**** (language, explicit sex, some drug use)
In every life there is always that...one.
Twenty-one year old Laura Sedgwick is a rebel without a cause. Her only plans for life are to make no plans. She revels in her fascination of the unexpected as she navigates her way through mid -1990’s nightlife. One very bad night brings her face to face with the one man likely to change her mind about…well...everything.
Twenty-three year old Seth Whitaker has every intention of seeing through with his well mapped out life. He is a hard working over-achiever that has no intentions of slowing his pace for anyone. With a fierce determination to not let life pass him by without taking a huge bite, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the one distraction that could keep him from his best laid plans. Little did he know his determination to keep his life on track would be the very thing to trigger the events that change the course of both their lives.
In this life she had only done one thing right...
...and she was his only chance at salvation
~~~~~JENNIFER'S REVIEW~~~~~
Every once in awhile a book comes along out of the blue and catches you by surprise!That's exactly what Kate Stewart did with Room 212!
I knew from the beginning I was going to have a tough time getting through this one... Your first love is often the one who breaks your heart, breaks your spirit and walks away with part of your soul.
Laura is a brat with a trust fund and no desire to conform to proper social standards. Not a lot this girl has not tried! Seth is a hard working man who has his whole life mapped out until he meets HER!
I honestly didn't want this book to end. I had a very bad feeling something was not quite right! My heart broke over and over as this up and down relationship spiral ed out of control. (Lord help me I'm having flash backs as I speak)
There are some great lessons in this beautiful story if you choose to heed them. The author was not afraid to speak of things such as God, karma and fate! (I love that!)
Seth and Laura got what they deserved in the end. I cried! Thank goodness book two is on its way!
Five stars from me!

All I was feeling was showing in the bathroom mirror on my reddened face. I was having a hard time enjoying it, instead of being terrified. I cupped some water from the faucet and swallowed, willing myself to get it together. I walked into the hall of the long corridor that led back to the rooftop door and found Seth waiting for me, arms crossed over his chest, casually leaning against the wall. I stood on the opposite wall, placing my hands behind my back. I felt a drop of water drip from my bottom lip onto my chest and slide into the V of my dress. I saw his eyes follow it with envy as he spokes his first words to me.
“You are all I think about, and I come here and you look…like this,” he breathed the words to me and I felt them on every inch of my body. I moved to go to him and he made a small gesture that kept me where I was. He still wanted to play and I was game.
“What do you think about?”
“Your laugh, the way your voice is raspy in the morning when you wake up, the arch of your perfect feet, the way your hair falls over your face when you’re on top of me, the way this feels right now and every time I’m with you.”
I pulled my leg through the thigh high slit in my dress propping my heel on the wall behind me and smiled. He cursed as he came toward me in a blur. He stopped himself inches away, placing both hands on the side of my face against the wall.
“Temptress,” he whispered into my ear.
