Synopsis.
Some love sets off a spark… Others ignite the flame.
When the athletic Zeke Turner moves in next door to eccentric Addie Greyson, the unlikely pair become instant friends. Growing inseparable over the years, the two stand together through all the trials of adolescence.
Zeke returns for the summer after his freshman year of college right as Addie’s preparing to start hers at another school. Their time apart forces them to begin seeing each other in a whole new light. When the temptation becomes too much to resist, lines are crossed and their friendship is irrevocably changed.
As outside influences interfere, the relationship they’ve fought so hard to protect begins to suffer. When Addie feels the sting of betrayal from the only other person she can trust, it makes her question everything she ever thought she knew.
When fate brings them back together two years later, will they get a second chance? Or will they find out the hard way that there are some things you just can’t take back?
SJ's Review.
Zeke & Addy.
My heart is owned.
These characters completely have my heart. Right from the very start these two captured my heart and kept it tightly in there little hands.
First introduction has your heart breaking along with Addie, her dog is hurt & she is sad. Zeke sits right along side her, from that very moment these two have been inseparable.
Each chapter has a date and you see these guys get older as the chapters go, the older they get doesn't mean they grow indifferent. Nope. It only pushes them closer together. Best friends til the end well so they thought.
One summer sees Zeke & Addie grow closer than ever. Zeke has been away at college and returns for summer break, they have kept in contact but each has grown in a way, a way they thought they would never notice each other. Sexually!
Addie has grown in all the right places & Zeke has been working out. Both notice the changes start away but continue to be friends & hide the attraction. Only bad can come of trying it on with your best friend, right?
WRONG!
The connection these two share had the relationship they have built over the years to an all new high. Sexual tension is thick in the air & ever Addie's Father notices. After a few stern words, they both have their orders, but with an attraction like these two have nothing anyone can see will stop them doing what they want to do.
Summer draws to a close and they realise they are both heading to different colleges.
Can the relationship they have worked so hard to achieve survive a long distance relationship?
Will the pressure be to much?
Will jealous get in the way?
They have had a friendship for more years than they have had an actual relationship, but does that make them any stronger? Or does it make them weaker?
There is no secret that I love Kate's past work but this has taken my Author/Reader love for her that little bit further. This has got to be one of my favourite reads of her and of 2015 so far! The book reeled me in, kept me prisoner & didn't me go until long after I finished reading. I messaged Kate a few times telling her I was loving the story. I couldn't even put it down when I was at work which resulted in me having my Kindle confiscated (spoil sports).
Addie is a strong, quirky, loving, unique female & Zeke is a confident, loving, trusting male. These two are destined to be together, but will Fate be on their side?
Do I have to give 5 stars or can I give more? This book doesn't deserve a 5 star rating it deserves so much more. The story, the characters, the twists & the turns. It was all 5 star quality & I can see an improvement in the way Kate portrays her characters & writes her story. A good writer became a great writer in my estimation.
I grew up in Texas and moved to Florida when I met the love of my life 14 years ago. I wrote my first poem when I was five and it was about my love affair with pickles. I still love pickles but I like to think my writing has grown since then.
I absolutely adore anything to do with books whether it's writing them or devouring them in one sitting. I live on music, love, and sweet tea. I am known for my silly but blunt personality. I've been lucky enough to find the love of my life, marry him and now we're working on our happily ever after. He inspires me in everything I do, but especially in telling love stories. I'm an ordinary girl living an extraordinary love and I'm so happy I get to share it with the world through my writing.
