Ashton Taylor. Six foot one, Dark hair, chiseled jaw, riveting hazel
eyes, and a body cut in all the right places. He’s a natural. Things just come
easy to him. He’s used to getting everything he wants, excelling at everything
he does. The grades, the recognition, the beautiful women.
His path was set. A girl, a full scholarship to UC San Diego, and a
bright future. To others, his life seemed perfect. But, things are never what
they seem, and life, well, at any moment, something or someone can come along
and turn it upside down.
That something…the death of his father.
That someone… Cara Hayward. The girl with the hypnotic eyes, melodic
voice, enchanting smile, and lips sent straight from heaven.
The girl who doesn’t want to be seen.
So what happens when a guy who everything comes easy to, meets a girl
who doesn’t come easy?
Can he crawl through all the broken glass to find her? Will the girl
he discovers deep down be able to see past his perfect exterior?
Together, do they have the power to heal one another? Or, could the
very thing that brings them together, be the one thing that tears them apart?

Review
So, to say that this book evoked some
emotions would be an understatement. I remember as soon as I finished it, I
texted a friend telling them that this was one of the few stories that had
truly made me laugh, cry, swoon, cause my heart to break, and then repair it.
All in one story, this happened.
Ashton and Cara could not be any more
different from each other. But the old saying goes that opposites attract and
it is definitely true in this story. It is sweet, heartbreaking, and
swoonworthy without being totally cheesy. Or cheesy at all. These two find a
balance of when to give each other space and when to bust those barriers to
hold the other one up. It was truly a relationship that had equal give &
take. I absolutely loved it! Beyond the sweet story between Cara and Ashton,
there is a camaraderie amongst their group of friends that is fabulous.
The story wrapped up perfectly for
this couple. There is no cliffhanger. But I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing
more come from some of the other characters…

Excerpt
She turns so her back is
now flush with my chest, her ass pushing against my groin, my hard-on straining
against my pants. I gently lift her hair up off her neck, pressing quiet kisses
to her shoulders, trailing my tongue along her nape. She whimpers, angling her
head and giving me access to her throat. I drag my lips down to her collarbone,
licking and sucking until I hear her moan again, goosebumps popping and dancing
all over her back. Running my knuckle down the side of her cheek, my fingers
continue to move lower to skip along the soft flesh of her arm and I feel her
body shiver. I spin her around to face me, needing to see her now.
“You’re so fucking
beautiful, you know that?” I breathe against her lips.
She looks up at me, her
voice thick with desire. “I want you to touch me, Ash,” she whispers hoarsely.
“I want to feel your hands all over me. I’ve never wanted anyone’s hands on me
the way I want yours, right now.”

About the Author
I am a wife, a mom, an author, and a lover of all things chocolate,
well, anything sweet really. While stuffing chocolate in my face, I enjoy
reading young adult and new adult novels furiously, and spending time with my
husband and two adorable children who keep me on my peppermint pink painted
toes. Those same children who inspire me to tell silly stories that cause
hysterical giggles to tumble from their bellies.
I love to laugh and love to have a good cry, especially after reading
a novel that stretches my soul, one that makes me feel, and lingers in the
corner of my heart.
I’m a hopeless romantic and a happily ever after fanatic, and I love
to write about LOVE.
I began writing when I was in middle school, penning anything from
short stories, to poetry, and then later moved on to write children’s
books. I have now endeavored into New Adult and Contemporary Romance
novels and am loving every minute of it. My first novel, Love Love, was
released in May, 2013.
