Review ~ Kill Devil Hills by Sarah Darlington

Title: Kill Devil Hills
Author: Sarah Darlington
Series: Kill Devil Hills #1

Genre: NA Contemporary Romance

Published: August 5th 2014

He’s twenty-four. She’s eighteen.

His life is exactly the way he’s always wanted it to be...stable.
She’s quite possibly the very definition of unstable.

Noah saved her.
Georgina never wanted to be saved.

Growing up, Noah Clark was passed from one relative to the next until he finally ended up living with his abusive, alcoholic uncle in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Thanks in part to the unwavering love and support of his best friend, Ellie Turner, Noah survived those years, escaped his uncle, and grew into the man he is today. Now he runs his own business and lives a pretty normal, no-nonsense life—one where he maintains a high level of control.

Georgina is Ellie’s younger sister. Four months ago, Noah saved Georgie’s life, but he thought that was where his involvement with his friend’s sister would end. Now Georgie has returned home from the recovery facility her parents sent her away to and Noah, still haunted by the night that connects them, can’t stop himself from continuously trying to protect this girl he barely knows. But is he willing to give up all of the control he’s worked so hard to build in his life and risk everything for her? Even more importantly, would she do the same for him?

This is the second book of Sarah’s that I have read and it was another sweet read that I enjoyed. It started out introducing some of the main characters, before being thrown into a situation that had me gasping. I had to keep reading to see what happened and why Georgie did such a thing.

Noah was a character that I liked from the beginning. He is a really great guy and becomes quite protective of Georgie. He checks in on her, but tries to maintain distance, although it is hard because his best friend is Georgie’s sister. He does some sweet things, and has some little alpha male tendencies that had me swooning over him.

Georgie, well she dealt with loss, but not in a healthy way. Her time away from her family helped her grow into a better person. When she returns, she realised her crush on Noah has developed into something more and is unsure whether he is feeling the same way. The more time they spend together, the stronger their feelings became.

I think that Sarah has done a nice job telling Georgie and Noah’s story. She introduced me to some great characters that I liked getting to know. I met a family that sticks together and supports each other through thick and thin. There were plenty of secondary characters that I am looking forward to seeing more of in the next books. The storyline had a deeper message entwined throughout and it was done in a tasteful way. Fantastic job Sarah, I sure am looking forward to coming back to Kill Devil Hills.
