This was a pretty standard and predictable NA romance. The main characters - while having great chemistry - just fell a bit flat; they didn't really develop. The plot did have its twists that might be more interesting to new readers of the new adult genre.
Still, the cliffhanger left me guessing, so maybe I'd consider picking up the sequel

Who is Casey Diam and where has she been hiding? What the f@#$!?! This is an incredible book. It's impossible to leave the story. Even when I had to put my kindle down and adult, I was constantly trying to figure out all the pieces to this puzzle.

And what a puzzle it is!!!!!

Holy moly! My mind is spinning. My heart is freaking pounding. Not to mention the steamy scents that had me panting like a dog in heat. What doesn't this book have!?! Only answer to that is an ending. Lol. It ends in a big old wtaf!?! Or as others commonly refer to it...a cliffhanger.

Trust is definitely a book you need. I strongly advise grabbing the Hope and Love too because I have a feeling binge reading is required. I only stopped in my pursuit of answers to type this review. YOU NEED THIS BOOK.

You definitely need this book. I can't even hold my impatience in check. I need to know what happens next. This action packed book has me on edge and I can't wait for it to take me higher with Hope, book 2.

Oh my! This was a great debut novel. I was instantly hooked from the beginning.

This was hot and steamy, super intense, ooof and all the angst that goes along with their complicated relationship! I loved the characters, Caleb & Paige, looking forward to reading more about them.

This book had a lot of twists and turns and the story was revealed little by little. Casey Diam totally kept me on my toes wondering what was gonna happen next. The plot went to places I could never predict. I am not a reader who likes cliffhangers but if this is something you love than this book is for you. The ending made me need the next book because I had to know what was going to happen next

Highly recommend reading, this is my first book I read of casey’s and I gotta say I love the authors work. Brilliant!

Great start to a new series! This read is fast-paced with loads of drama. Caleb and Paige are great characters and their chemistry is steamy. This read is emotional and really draws you in to the story. I really liked it!

A great enjoyable read kept my attention from start to finish and I’d recommend reading it the author had a way with words that had me hooked can’t wait for more

This was okay for me. 3 1\2 stars for me based on Paige and Now quickly she calls for Caleb. Now, I will say that Paige and Caleb have fire works!! Paige has lived her life on the run. Anne trusts NO-ONE! She has had a lot of reasons to as well. Caleb has wanted to get out from under his dad's thumb. This read keeps you on your toes. You do not know who to trust! For Paige being so suspicious of everyone it makes this kind of hard to believe that she starts to see Caleb so quickly. That was the only thing during this whole read that made me say hmmmm??? Really!?! I want to get to the bottom of this should be really 👍👍 good! I am.reviewing the next in this series! should be good!!

I received this ARC from the publisher for my honest review via Net Galley at my request. The opinions written are solely my own. Th a k you Net Galley!!

Trust by Casey Diam is book One in the Things That Matter. This is the story of Caleb and Paige.
Paige runs from her past that took her parents. They were killed and to keep from the same fate she works to keep her self save by hiding as much as she can. Caleb feels a connections to Paige and she to him. But he knows that he shouldn't because his father is following her and can lead to her being hurt by this information.
This was a page turner that doesn't end with this book, the second book 'Hope' picks up their story.

Rating 4.5/5

What a thrilling ride! Immediately thrown into the action with an assassination, this book was very hard to put down!
