Review
Kate and Gavin meet for the first time when they are very young and it wouldn’t be until years later that they meet again. When Kate is alone after her parents have passed she takes up the offering of an old family friend she hasn’t seen in years. But all is not as it seems….Why is Gavin telling Kate to stay away from his mother Leeta? And why has Leeta suddenly come back into Kate’s life? Beneath the lies, the truth remains hidden; but not for very long!
“As ridiculous as we might look lying naked on the top of his bed, I know this is the moment I was truly found. The funny thing is, until Gavin came into my life…I didn’t know how lost I truly was.”
A truly captivating read with so many twists, turns and unexpected characters that I found it hard to keep up. This is a book you really have to dedicate yourself to but you won’t regret it once you do. Lies, betrayal, love, hate, secrets, truth; all combine to make one hell of a read.
“You belong to me, Kate. And I belong to you.” Gavin’s tone is still harsh, almost punishing, but right now all I care about is how he’s making me feel. “You’re never to run away from me again.”
Both Kate and Gavin are such intriguing characters. Kate is a strong young woman, who even though has suffered great loss, manages to remain bright, kind, cheerful and loving. She is smart and is someone who believes in doing the right thing. Gavin may seem more complex at the start and he definitely has his moments, like his slight over protectiveness or the fact he can get quite moody. But deep down he is just a young guy who loves those he’s close to with a deep devotion and wants to protect them!
“When I finally gain the courage to look up, I find those emerald eyes burning into mine, but it’s the way Kate is smiling at me that I know I’ll never forget. Like maybe…just maybe, I matter to someone.”
The plot is really exciting and really full of so many surprises; so many that I can’t say much without giving anything away. I will say though that we meet some very interesting characters, some who have good intentions and some who don’t. And lies there are a plenty in this story; not everyone is there for the right reasons, some are dangerous, some may go to the extremes to get what they want from Gavin and Katy.
