Synopsis
Myah
My life literally changed in the blink of an eye. I was happy, I was whole... and then my father died. Since then I haven't been the same. I've been battling inner demons as well as the ones on the outside--my mother the evilest of them all. It's time to take control of my life and Kyle Cooper makes me believe that I can.
Kyle
I've been half in love with Myah Wilks for as long as I can remember. She's short and sassy--or she was until tragedy struck. Changes in her life left an opening for me, the one I've been waiting for and I'm jumping--with both feet. This amazing girl has more fight in her pinky than most people do in their whole body... she just needs to be reminded. She also needs to purge those demons and let her secrets go. Maybe, just maybe, she'll let me in and trust me with her whispered truths.

Excerpt
Kyle
And, damn, she's got so many damn secrets. I can see them lurking beneath the surface but she has them locked up tight. It's going to take time to get her to open up enough to share them… if she ever does. Hell, it's going to take a long damn time until I can let her know how I feel, how I’ve always felt. I don't want to scare her away.
At least we're getting a little closer. She's feeling more comfortable around me. In all the years we've hung out in our group, especially the last three with Lisa and Luc dating, she's always kept me at a distance. At first I thought it was because I had girlfriends, but even when I was single she didn't let me in. In truth, I'm jealous as fuck over her friendship with Stewie. They're almost as close as she and Lisa are.
The jealousy clawed at my chest Wednesday night with a viciousness I'd never experienced before, and all because Stewie was touching her. It wasn't sexual by any means and his innuendos and flirting were harmless. He isn't into her like that, at least not anymore, not like I thought he was. At least I don't think so. Damn it.
His parents are just as fucked up as Myah's mom. They trust and rely on one another and I know for a fact he doesn't want to ever fuck that up. Besides that, he thinks of Myah as more of a sister—well maybe not. Maybe it is more for him. He is her protector, her confidant, and it pisses me the hell off. I want that job. Maybe in time. I'll have to keep it slow and steady and not push or pressure her in any way, or I'm afraid she'll book it the hell out of my life and it'll all be fucked.
Review 5 Stars
This was a young love story that
still gave you all the feels of an adult romance. The characters in this story
are very strong and are true friends to each other as well.
Myah is a young lady that has been dealt a hard blow when her father suddenly has a heart attack and dies. Myah never felt secure in her father's real cause of death and had doubts that something else had happened. Bianca, Myah's mom, has always been very non-motherly to Myah and now that her father has died, Bianca demands that Myah pay for everything with the money her father left her. Myah has taken care of all the bills and everything for Bianca for awhile and is just hanging in there until she can figure out a way to get herself out of the situation. Meanwhile, Myah is in high school and continues to go. She has always had a crush on Kyle Cooper and everyone has seen they way that they look at each other. Timing has not worked out for them to date each other because they have been with other boyfriend/girlfriends at the time, but suddenly things start to fall into place for them. When they are assigned to be each others partner's in an English project, they suddenly have to spend time together and things progress from there.
Kyle is a young guy who like all guys, is out for what he can get. Kyle's ral problem is that he has been covering up his feelings for the one that he has true feelings for and just "scratching and itch" as he says. He has never been able to connect with the other girls that he has been with. When Myah starts to let down some of the walls around her, Kyle knows that he is a goner. Once things progress for Myah and Kyle, there is no looking back. Things continue to progress in their relationship and no one could have imagined how much they love each other.
This story has some suspense intertwined with the romance and I love how Anne made it all work. You never would have guessed how things end up in this story but it made me keep turning the pages as fast as I could. I fell in love with Kyle and Myah as a couple and it made me so happy that they finally got their HEA. I would love to know more of what became of their relationship and hopefully we will get to see a glimpse of that in the next books in the series!! Can't wait to read the others!
