Synopsis: She’s so young, so full of life…

I couldn’t let her die… Even if she made the world’s worst coffee. Emily Garret never asked to be rescued, let alone by a walking JCrew ad whose idea of fun is probably managing his stock portfolio and watching the nightly news. Then again, she never thought she would wind upside-down in a ditch after a night having a little too much fun. Reece Montgomery never planned on being anyone’s hero, especially the foul-mouthed, bleach-blonde barista from the local coffee shop. He thinks there’s more to Emily than her tattoos, and lip ring, but getting close means letting her into his past and meeting his ghosts. And he’s not sure she’s ready for that battlefield.

REVIEW

Star Rating: 4 stars

Yes! Just yes! That is how it is done.

Reece Montgomery is a disable vet home form war. After seeing horrible things while on tour he has to cope with a darkness that swallows him whole and leaves no space for the light to shine through for him. Never thinking anything or anyone is good enough for him and his life, he considers himself a loser and clings to that notion until one night when it all changes then he feels a different emotion that he hasn’t felt in a very long time.

Emily Garret is the party girl, the one who won’t put down roots because she is simply scared and no one expects her to either they just see and irresponsible girl who wont ever grow up. After constant let downs and obstacles in her way she finally thinks that nothing will change in her life until it is almost taken away from her. Someone saves her and as it turns out it might be in all the areas that she needs the most.

I loved this one to be honest. The true reality of what Reece and Emily go through is what most go through on a daily basis and as sad as it is it never changes because most just accept what is and it is left like that. I hope whoever reads this gets a glimpse into what those feelings are like because they don’t just go away they will always be there just waiting for you to become weak so it can overpower and win.

ABOUT COLE GIBSEN

At seventeen Cole found herself homeless with only a beat-up Volkswagen Jetta and a bag of Goodwill clothing to her name. The only things that got her through the nights she spent parked in truck stops and cornfields were the stacks of books she checked out from the library along with her trusty flashlight. Because of the reprieve these books gave her from her troubles, Cole vowed to become a writer so she could provide the same escape to readers who needed a break the reality of their own lives.
