Trust. Five Letters. One Word.
I'm the girl who doesn't let anyone in. My world was shattered and turned upside down in one night. Since then I've been trying to live, if that's what you call it, but fighting the anxiety of what happened and trusting others is hard. Each day is a struggle to reach for the unknown.
Truth. Five Letters. One Word.
I watched my father give my mother the world and the stars. She took everything from him, then left him as a broken man with nothing to live for. I told myself I'd never fall in love. I'm guarding my heart and emotions, only looking out for number one. The only way to have truth in any relationship is to stay true to yourself.
Just when you think you've got it all figured out, you realize your puzzle is unfinished. You find a piece you never thought you needed until everything changes with one touch.
After that...you levitate.

I was crossing my fingers because Kaylee Ryan started it
out with my heart wrenching from her pain. I wished it wouldn’t last that long,
because I can only take so much. Good thing that it didn’t. It may start out
with that slow and painful emotion creeping, BUT – the moment they met started something
wonderful, you wouldn’t want to put this down.
Kensington is a beautiful, intelligent and incoming
college senior student. Her past wasn’t something she talks about. The guilt
from her past were overwhelming that she couldn’t move on. She tries to live a
normal life, but something THAT horrible us hard to forget.
Then there’s Maxton – this alpha, uber-hot, responsible
male who doesn’t believe in love, no thanks to his mother. He watched his
father give everything to her, and it wasn’t enough. Love destroyed his father,
and he was adamant not to repeat his mistake. So, the walls around his heart
were up. What he didn’t expect was to meet her – Kensington. She was everything
he never expected. From the first time they met, and each day they come across
each other. One by one, the blocks that surrounds his heart were torn down and
before he knew it, he fell.
Their chemistry was there. You can feel it with their easy
banters, and the tension that was present when they were together. Still,
Kensington has secrets, and Maxton has his uncertainty on his emotions. But who
can stop love? Love is too powerful to stop, - no horrible past, no pain, no
heartbreak can. Their story is just amazing – I love how it developed, and how
it grew. It wasn’t pushed, it wasn’t forced: and I didn’t notice how long or
short it has been. But slowly, they entered each other’s lives, healed the
wounds from their past and finally allow themselves to fall.
This novel proves that first impression does not always
last. Trust is always earned, and not given, and most especially love will come
to you the least you expect it. It’s another great read from an awesome author.
Something that can have you levitating, and swooning in no time.
She’s timid, constantly fidgeting. She’s moved the pillow on her lap at least twenty times. Her breathing is accelerated and her leg is bouncing up and down with nerves.
It’s taking extreme effort to concentrate on the movie. We’ve almost made it to the end when I hear her sniff. At first, I don’t think much of it, until it happens again. I turn to look at her and see tears rolling down her cheeks. Without thinking, I reach over and wipe the tears away with my thumb. She gives me a watery smile. “I forgot how it ended. I never would have agreed to watch it with you if I had remembered.” She chuckles at herself.
Something in my chest tightens at seeing her tears. No man likes to see a woman cry in his presence, but this is different. I feel…protective of her. Like I could kick Ben and Bruce’s ass for making her cry. Now I want to kick my own ass for even thinking it.
I watch as she offers me another smile through her tears. “Don’t hold it against me,” she says, chuckling. I have something I would like to hold against her, in her, whatever. I don’t get the chance to respond as the door to her apartment flies open. In walks Nicole and Bright. Fuck! This is not what I need. This is going to go down one of two ways. He’s going to be pissed that I pursued her or he’s never going to let me live it down that she’s gotten under my skin.
Kaylee Ryan has had a passion for reading since she was a little girl. That passion has slowly led to spinning romantic tales, and a one-click addiction. When she doesn’t have her nose stuck in her kindle or fingers glued to the keyboard, you can find Kaylee hanging out with friends and family. She loves all genres of music, and enjoys scrapbooking. She lives in Ohio with her husband (her real life happily ever after) and their rambunctious little boy.
