Title: Seventeen Days
Author: D.B. James
Genre: New Adult Romance
Morgan Young’s plans for the summer consisted of two things: fun and friends. Working in a small costal Alabama town for a man she barely knew wasn’t included — especially since she can’t stay away from him.
Everything.
After losing everyone he loves, Harrison Montgomery has given up on happiness — and love. When his path crosses with the feisty redhead’s, he can’t seem to get her off his mind. But their time together is threatened by Morgan’s plans to leave.
One dare may change the future.
Harrison throws down a challenge, a dare that changes their lives — one Morgan accepts. But is Seventeen Days really enough to fall in love? Can they find a home in one another, or will the storms of the past pull them under.

some timeline and fact issues in the version I read of which I informed the

Secondly, I
was wondering something during reading that was confirmed later in the notes at
the end of the book. Especially near the end it felt as if this author was a
