Excerpt:
I’m in the tub shriveling up like a prune until the water becomes cold. I let the water out to run down the drain and grab the towel that hangs on the wall. I’m so exhausted from crying I don’t have the energy to dry myself off. With water dripping off of my hair and body, I open the door and there stands Evan, tall, dark, and dangerous.
He’s dangerous for me in this moment. I want to connect, but this is going to end badly. Badly is the only way this canend.
"Abby?" His warm hand reaches up to my face. "Are you ok? I heard you crying.”
“What do you care Evan? Isn’t there a hot, dark-haired woman at the club you would rather talk to?” Ok so I’m totally being a bitch. He was only talking to her and we had a great time after and he isn't my man. I’m just being sensitive I guess.
“Abby, there isn't anyone anywhere that I want more than I want you right now.
In this moment I could go to my room and cry until I can’t breathe or I can live for the now. Live in it with this beautiful man. As soon as he sees the broken crumbling Abby he will leave. Of that I am most certain.
He searches my face, but I am too numb to answer his earlier question, there are no answers for me to give. I am hollow, empty, and tired of being alone. I can’t swallow the lump in my throat.
"Tell me what you’re feeling, Abby.”
I can’t speak, I try, but the words won’t come out. I want this man in front of me, more than that I need him; on me, in me, around me. I need him to drown out the rejection.
"Abby, I need to know what you’re feeling." His face is so perfect, innocent and yet he’s so bad all at the same time. His dimples sit on either side of his cheeks, his bright blue eyes hide so many things, and his lips are plump and wanting. I can’t take my eyes off of his lips. I lick mine in response.
"Amy went to Dom’s and I told her I would stay and look after you.”
So we’re alone? Every thought leaves my head in that very second. I reach for his face letting my towel fall from my body. He stares at me questionably, but I still don’t have the answers. He reaches for my hips pulling me to him. His hands are hot and wanting. I’m ice cold and I need his warmth; I crave it, on me, in me.
His lips meet mine with gentle force that commands me to reciprocate. I run my hands through his hair wanting to lose myself in him.
"Are you sure? Please... tell me you’re sure!" His demand is so sexy. His lips barely leave mine as he speaks.
“I need this, I so want this," I breathe in his mouth. Please don’t hurt me.

Rating:
Wonderfully emotional and suspenseful debut novel!
This full-length novel is the first in a planned serial trilogy. Abigale Hayes, Abby to her family and friends, is twenty two years old, engaged, finishing pre-med at UCLA and starting work for a popular magazine. On the surface this sounds idyllic but the truth is much more complicated. Abby continues to deal with survivor guilt after the crippling loss of her twin sister in a car accident when she was sixteen. Addie had planned to follow their parents’ footsteps in the medical profession while Abby had planned a career in journalism. Feelings of guilt and parental expectations caused Abby to temporarily abandon her own career path but she was now at a crossroads with her schooling. She has to make a decision before she starts medical school in the fall – the last place she wants to be. Her fiancé returned to Brazil at the end of the school year and she hasn’t heard a word from him since despite countless voicemails and attempts to contact him. Abby was teetering under the stress and was not prepared for Evan Young to walk into her life. She was instantly and deeply attracted to Evan and their relationship developed quickly despite the uncertainty in her life. The twists and turns to the story, however, are not finished and Abby is again thrust into a life and death situation in which she emerges to another new reality. Was everyone and everything around her just an illusion? And would she survive it?
I knew this was the first in the serial so I was prepared for the cliffhanger ending. What I hadn’t expected was such an explosive and intriguing end to this debut novel. The writing style was interesting and had a unique flavor which I enjoyed. The main characters, as well as the secondary ones, continued to evolve throughout the chapters as the story’s point of view switched between Abby and Evan. Amy, Abby’s best friend, is that girlfriend we all want to have – one there for you through the good and the bad. And Amy was up to the challenge as Abby faced so many highs and lows. While the first part of the book did seem to lag slightly the tempo quickly picked up until I thought the story was racing along almost too quickly. I did not want it to end so I tried, unsuccessfully, to read slower. Assumptions made at the beginning were totally turned around by the end. The author kept me reading each sentence for any new clue or nuance, any hint to which way the story may lead. I really don’t know what is to come in the next book but I can’t wait to find out!
