The only thing Kayla’s ever wanted has been to get the hell out of Little Hope. She’s never fit in with the traditionalism of the small town and its judgmental citizens, andher family’s bad reputation continues to precede her. All she’s ever wanted has been to leave… and maybe—just maybe—for Justin Attleborough to notice her. But—unfortunately for her—the only time he ever acknowledges her is to call her trailer trash and never let her forget her status as the town pariah.

All Justin wants is to wipe that night from his memory. The night that changed so many lives. But that’s easier said than done, especially when one of the biggest reminders of that night is always shamelessly walking her leather-clad legs around Little Hope. But—unfortunately for him—the one thing he wants more than to erase it from his mind is her.

A seemingly good boy and a seemingly bad girl. What do they have in common? Well… that night.

They say the truth will set you free. But what about the ugly truth? The one that reveals pretty as damaging, and ugly as redeeming?

This slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, contemporary romance is a standalone filled with angst. Guilty Minds is about a perfect man who hated an imperfect girl with a bad reputation and a tired girl who loved the said even more tired man. The spice level is higher than the previous book. TW includes SA, mentioning; bullying; depression. It can be read as it is, but better if enjoyed as a part of the series. Each book contains a story about a different couple-no cliffhangers.

Author's note: this book is darker than the first one. Justin is a bully and a a..hole but he redeems himself. He is not going to change the last part though, he is who he is, and I love him for that. I hope you will too:)
