Synopsis
(Mature Content)
Miranda
I was always the life of the party, the happy one.
Until Preston killed my soul.
When he came into my life, he destroyed me. I was a
shell of my former self, pretending to be fine while wishing I wouldn't wake up
the next day. I never dreamed my best friend would come back into my life...and
bring Brad Nicholson with her.
I never dreamed the homicide detective with the cocky
attitude could show me my worth again. He could show me that my life could be
amazing every day.
Until the day he found out about my past with Preston.
Then, I was sure he'd see the real Miranda and ditch me for good.
Brad
From a young age, I made a decision.
I knew what I wanted to do with my life and from that
point on, my work molded me. Everything became routine. Casual. Until Mackenzie
walked into my life, bringing her best friend, Miranda, with her.
From the first moment I saw Miranda, I knew she could be
someone special. I didn’t have time for relationships, but she was different.
She was a piece of the puzzle that could be missing. But she was broken, I
could see that. And all I wanted to do was turn her into the girl I knew she
really was beneath her perfectly placed mask.

My 5 star review
Miranda is a very lost
person but not in the way one would think. She though she found the love of her
life and boy was she dead wrong. Now we all know that when we are in love regardless
of our age we tend to overlook somethings. I know I have been there before. But
anyway...this character is a hell of a lot stronger than she gives herself
credit for. Now a few years later she is a shell of woman. She now believes every
negative, mean, rude, smart*ss comment that her ex said to her. So she hides in
her shell and lets people believe that she is happy and loving life...when in
reality she is drowning inside.
Brad is a man who is very
dedicated to his work and we know that when you’re a detective you end up being
the job. He is a hot very attractive person and has zero time of a
relationship, so he happens to have a few one nighters here and there. Then he
sees her again and he is freaking out because he is so attracted to her and she
is way younger than him.
Now I can't write this
review without spoiling just a little and I am very sorry because I hate to
give your free samples ;)
Let me tell you that I feel
in love with this story. This book is so much more than a love story. To me it
is about forgiveness, learning to love yourself, and trust. I love Miranda's
character because I know there are a lot of Miranda in this world and if I
could save every single one of them, I would in a heartbeat. I can honestly say
that this book hits very close to home.
All I have to say is when I
was done reading this book I told J.D. Rivera that I needed to find me a Brad.
Man oh man will his character leave you swooning. The ending of this book was
bittersweet to me, only because I wanted to know more. I need to know what
happens next in their lives, and no this isn't a cliffhanger either. This is
just me not wanting to say goodbye to two amazing characters.
Excerpt
I turned and exited the vehicle, almost sprinting to my
door. I couldn’t get away from him and my shame fast enough. Once inside, I
padded down the hall to my bedroom, a part of me breaking with each step.
I tossed my purse on the floor and threw the covers back
before falling into my bed. I clutched the covers and brought them up to my
chin as the silent tears fell. Preston was right—I was stupid and pathetic. Why
would anyone want me?
I was an addict.
I allowed someone to abuse me for drugs.
Everything that had happened was on me.
It was my penance to pay.
And I would always be paying.
I cried myself to sleep that night and stayed there most
of the next day.
I was nothing. Absolutely nothing. I asked myself why I
hadn’t given up. Wondered why I hadn’t cut myself open completely and let the
vile inside of me bleed out along with my life.
