“Must Read! Great New Series!” - BookPlusHeart Amazon Review
“3 Hearts, 2 Best Friends, 1 True Love....” - I Don’t Get Sundays Book Blog
“This is a captivating story full of uncertainty, secrets and the tension of unspoken and unrequited love….” - Sheena - Amazon review
A nerd. A quiet art student. A nobody. 
Or perhaps, just some girl. 
These are the non-spoken titles I was known as since I started at Lake Shore Uni almost two years ago now. When given the chance to leave my horrific childhood behind - I didn’t hesitate. In fact, I was ecstatic to have the door hit me on the ass on my way out of town; because the only two things I actually loved in my traumatic life… 
Were coming with me.
And whilst the three of us shared the same beat-up truck when we moved here – that’s where the similarities unfortunately end. 
Ethan ‘The Mule’ Jones, is kind of a super star on campus. Everywhere he goes he seems to draw attention. I guess that’s what happens when you’re headlining papers as the star basketballer for the LS Eagles. But to me, he’s just Eth. A boy who still spends his Friday nights snuggled up watching movies with me, and who walks me to classes just to make sure I get there okay. He is my best friend in every way, and I can’t imagine my life without him in it.
And then there’s Jase. 
The truth is I knew from the moment I met Jase at the local skate park, when he was smoking a cigarette and teasing Eth for his poor skating ability, of how fiercely protective he was about those he cared for. From the time he blew his warm breath over my injured knee, to when he thankfully intervened on the most horrific day of my life. A day, that still haunts me when I am alone in the dark. 
He saved me. 
But Jase has his own demons too. Even if he doesn’t go looking for it, trouble always seems to find him. Which is why he has been absent from our lives for the past two years. 
Sometimes I wonder what he’s doing.
Quite often I worry if he’s okay.
And I always, always, think about him. 
Even though I shouldn’t.

4* read.
The first book in this new series and my first book by this author and it was a great book to start with.
I'm going to keep my review short and sweet so as not to give anything away. It is a really deep story of young love mixed up with drama, angst and consequences. It isn't like your normal college romance type read and I did like that new fresh take on a college romance even if it wasn't what I'd usually go for.
I really enjoyed the story, there was a few parts which were less believable then they could have been but I was hooked from the start and am looking forward to seeing where the rest of the series goes.


 
From the earliest age I was a born storyteller. Ask my parents and they will tell you I had a gift for making a simple event seem like an elaborate one. Purposely? No. Innocently? Yes. It was my imaginary world that initially led me to believe I wanted to be an actor. All of that role playing and living in fantasy... it was an obvious direction for me. However, becoming quite uncomfortable with the limelight quickly saw that dream diminish. Over the years I turned my world of fantasy into stories, and eventually began writing them down. Before I knew it, 'Cut' had been completed. When I am not busy writing my next story, I am a working mum, housewife and sometimes hockey wag :) In other words, probably some kind of circus act who specialises in juggling ;) I hope you enjoy my blog, where I will be posting thoughts, other books I am currently reading and even sneak peeks of my novels. I encourage any feedback, comments or direct messages via my contact page should anyone wish to get in touch. I am so thrilled to be sharing my journey and hope you enjoy my stories as much as I enjoy writing them.
Dream often. Believe always.

“Loved this story from beginning to end. True love and second chances prove to be an enriching and enlightening read.” - Eva McFarden - Amazon Review
“...beautifully written and makes you anxious for the next book!” - Reckless Readers 
“This story is absolutely stunning. The action and character build up is great. The chemistry between the main characters is awe-inspiring” - Beth DeLoreto - Amazon Review

 3.5*/4* read.
This is the forth book in this series and although it can be read as a standalone I'd recommend reading the others first.
This isn't my favourite in this series for one reason only and that was Michele, I'm sorry but I just couldn't connect at all to her, in fact I did really dislike her. She was so naive and in previous books in this series the female leads are much stronger and connectable and for me Michele just really let this book down for me. Rowdy however I did love and he made this book for me and thats why I couldn't decide between the ratings.
I'm looking forward to more from this author.
