Review
I really felt the length while I was reading this. Nothing happens between the main characters until almost 70% through. There are WAY TOO MANY characters in this book that made some parts of the story drag on and feel unnecessary. So much was going on outside of Fallon’s and Kye’s relationship that I felt like there was not much time to enjoy them together. The romance 100% took a back seat in this book and really felt like an after thought. Not a book for me.

❝ That’s not the whole truth. They’re symbols of hope. You’ve always been hope to me. You were my safe haven, the place I returned to again and again, even if I could only hold you in the secret places of my soul.❞
❝ He gave me a safe place to let out everything I was feeling after losing my dad and brother. And he was there for me every step of the way as I tried to move on.❞
Blurb
The first time I met Kyler Blackwood, he was a bruised and battered boy with fire in his eyes and nowhere safe to land.
Since the first time he kissed me, he was my best-kept secret, my quiet rebellion, my haven in the storm.
But fate forced us apart, making us pretend to be strangers because it hurt too much to be anything else.
Years later, time hasn’t dulled what we felt, has never erased the way we fit. And when Kye’s past collides with my present, everything shifts.
It’s a choice neither of us expected.
A bond that never really broke.
A line we were never meant to cross.
We tell ourselves it’s only temporary, that the arrangement is just a means to an end. But with each passing day, the lie feels more like the truth. And with each stolen touch, Kye feels more like mine. Because some things were never meant to be pretend.
And some dangers are closer than we ever imagined…
