November 2013
Layla Flaherty had the perfect life, or close to it. Until a stranger
gunned her parents down right in front of her, leaving her with seizure
inducing PTSD. After years of trying to pass as normal and failing miserably,
she resigns herself to being invisible. But new to town Landen O’Brien sees
her, and he likes what he sees. Much to Layla’s surprise, he doesn’t freak out
when she has a seizure in front of him. He does the exact opposite, calming her
until the tremors subside. But Landen has secrets of his own. Secrets that both
bind them together and tear them apart.
Scarred by loss, Layla leaves her hometown of Hope Springs, Georgia,
hoping to put her painful past behind her and start over in college in
California. When she runs into Landen at freshmen orientation, she has a choice
to make. Reinforce those steel walls she's built up around herself or give the
only boy who can keep her still a second chance.
Landen’s more than ready to tear down those walls but this time when
they come crashing down, they might bury her.
EXCERPT:
I move the pillow and
look at him, overheating instantly at the sight of his mouth and the memory of
what he just did with it. I can’t help but wonder how people do these intimate
things to each other and then go on with life business as usual. Pass the salt
and all that.
“You are the most
dangerous kind of beautiful,” he says, brushing my messy hair away from my
face.
I can only imagine what
a wreck I look like after that, but with the way he smiles at me, he must
actually think I am beautiful right now. I lean in and kiss his mouth. I can
taste myself on his lips. It’s kind of strange and kind of a turn on. I pull at
his lower lip with my teeth and he groans.
His voice is raspy
against my mouth. “You even taste like peaches, sweet like I knew you would
be.”
“What do you taste like,
Landen?” I ask, as my sex voice woman comes back to me. “And more importantly,
what’s with all the clothes?”

ReplyDeleteNothing like the south! Sounds like another great author!
ReplyDeleteIt is the storyline. The book description say it all. When someone goes through a tragedy, there is no way of having things being normal again. It is about moving forward and coping and forging out of a tragedy to define the person.
