Just breathe,
Kacey. Ten tiny breaths. Seize them.
Feel them. Love them.
Four years ago,
Kacey Cleary’s life imploded when her car was hit by a drunk driver, killing
her parents, boyfriend, and best friend.
Still haunted by memories of being trapped inside, listening to her
mother take her last breath, Kacey wants to leave her past behind. Armed with two bus tickets, Kacey and her
fifteen-year-old sister, Livie, escape Grand Rapids, Michigan, to start over in
Miami. They’re struggling to make ends
meet at first, but Kacey’s not worried.
She can handle anything – anything but her mysterious neighbour in
apartment 1D.
Trent Emerson has
smoldering blue eyes and deep dimples, and perfectly skates that irresistible
line between nice guy and bad boy.
Hardened by her tragic past, Kacey is determined to keep everyone at a
distance, but their mutual attraction is undeniable, and Trent is desperate to
find a way into Kacey’ guarded heart – even if it means revealing an explosive
secret that could shatter both their worlds.
My Review:
Twenty-year-old,
Kacey Cleary and her fifteen-year-old sister, Livie board a bus in Michigan
headed for Miami, Florida. Their parents
had been killed in a drunk driving accident four years ago and now they’re on
their own. They have nothing to keep
them in Michigan and just decide Miami would be a nice place to start
over.
They were staying
with their Aunt Darla and Uncle Raymond but Uncle Raymond had a hard time
keeping his hands and other body parts off young, Livie so they took off.
The girls found a
cheap apartment on desperateforanapartment.com and it was only a half hour from
the beach. The apartment is small and
dingy. The first thing Kacey wants to do
is strip the beds and wash the sheets in the hottest water possible. She heads to the laundry room in the basement
where she meets, Trent Emerson who had also just recently moved in. He was strikingly handsome with a ripped body
and the most beautiful blue eyes and long eye lashes.
Kacey has been
very closed since the fatal accident and comes across as a hard-ass to
everyone. She doesn’t trust people, won’t
allow anyone to touch her, nor will she shake hands with anyone. Young Livie always springs into action and
saves her during moments of introductions.
Although Kacey has
this hard-ass demeanor and works very hard at keeping everyone at a distance,
keeping that up with Trent becomes more difficult. Trent is so enamoured with Kacey and is
trying hard to find a way into her guarded soul, ‘’even if it means revealing
an explosive secret that could shatter both their worlds.’’
I totally enjoyed
this book and read it in one sitting.
The tension kept mounting and mounting and mounting until finally, BAM! The secret was out!!!! I sure didn’t expect that. This book would appeal to people of all
ages.
