Remi is in trouble. She was helping her friend escape a domestic situation and found herself in trouble. She runs home to hide and come up with a plan to rescue her friend. She immediately runs into the man she has been pining over since she was a teenager.
Brick is a police officer on the island. Remi is nothing but trouble for his personal and professional life. Remi is impulsive and has been known to get herself into her fair share of trouble, even with her mom being the Chief of police. Brick has also been harboring a thing for Remi for years and he refuses to get involved with her.
Speaking of sex, there is too much. They don't do anything but have sex. The reader has no idea if they can actually be a couple outside the bedroom.
Brick says he could never be with Remi, but never really gives a reason why. The first time they meet he's 25 and she's 16. Nothing happens they're just azquintances. It doesn't seem like anything even close to anything happens until she's like 19 and she makes a move on him. He says he'll meet her the next day to make it official and flees the island... Ok so he wasn't really interested could have just said that. But then he shows up a few years later and marries her best friend. Why!? I thought the whole reason they couldn't be together was because of her age, but her best friend is the same age. Not to mention his brother is in love with her best friend.
Basically Brick was an idiot and I didn't see what she saw in him outside of physical looks and that he helped raise his brother after his parents abandoned them. He offered nothing, she was the interesting one and I don't know why she held that flame for him for over 10 years after everything he did to her.

Besides the inappropriate relationship beginnings, I found some of the main plot to be a bit repetitive and sometimes it developed too slowly. I enjoyed Remi and Brick falling in love AS ADULTS, but really don't understand why Score started their "relationship" where she does.
