Broken

Shattered

Destroyed

Will she ever find a way to overcome the guilt?

The anger.

The pain.

Healing seems impossible.

Moving on…

Unbearable

Until him.

He’s the only one who can save her.

But it comes with a heavy price.

Another phenomenal book by K Langston!!! She’s been teasing us with Sylvie for a while now but I have to say that this was worth every single day of waiting. Absolutely amazing book!!

Now to write a spoiler free review…

Sylvie and Linc have been friends since grade school. At one point or another, they each had feelings for the other but never shared those out loud. Sylvie made some decisions that changed the course of her life forever. When you believe that you are destined for one person, when their life changes, so does yours. And that is Linc’s story. God knows Linc tried. He tried to let go. He tried to move on from Slyvie but something in him wouldn’t allow it. His heart wouldn’t accept what his brain knew.

Life went on. Linc’s career took off. Sylvie’s life changed too. Linc returns home to take care of his mother and try to get back the girl that got away, regardless of what he has to do to make that happen.

This book isn’t all sunshine and flowers but the darkness makes this story so amazing. Definitely a must read!!

It’s nearly dark when I wander out onto the porch and find Linc packing up his tools and loading up his truck.

“I won’t be here tomorrow so make sure you bring water and your lunch.”

He chuckles, the sound soothing and warm. “I will.”

Slamming the tailgate of his truck, he walks to the foot of the steps. The porch light illuminates his face as a smile teases the corners of his lips.

I fold my arms across my chest.

I’ve never had to fight so hard at it. When Dean was here it was easier to mask. But now that he’s gone, it’s taking everything I have to cover it up.

He props a booted foot onto the bottom step. “We’ll be finished tomorrow.”

“Good.”

Step.

“Doesn’t mean I’m finished with you though.”

Step.

“Told ya I ain’t goin’ nowhere.” Linc plants his feet on the porch, standing directly in front of me, eyes gleaming with affection. The green irises set my body on fire and build an inferno of heat, raging in my heart and between my legs.

“What’s for dinner?”

I smile because, damn it all to hell, when it comes to him, I can’t help myself. “Fish sticks and macaroni and cheese.”

He smirks. “You know that’s my favorite.”

One minute I’m standing on my front porch, trying desperately to resist him. And the next minute, I’m in his arms…

Giving in.

His lips claim mine, soft yet hard paired with unmistakable determination. His warm tongue tangles with mine, tasting of deep longing and strong desire.

The kiss of that desperate boy long ago pales in comparison to that of this unyielding man.

I throw my arms around his shoulders as he backs me into the door. “I’ve waited a fucking lifetime for this?” he whispers across my lips before seizing them once more, renewing his passion.

I’ve dreamed of this moment for so long, to feel his touch, to taste his lips once more. The possessive manner in which his fingers brand my skin, the way his tongue greedily slides against mine.

Linc begins to slow the kiss but I’m not ready for it to end, so I dig deeper and pull tighter, in my vain attempt to soar higher.

I don’t want to let this moment go.

Ever.

His hands cup my face and I can sense him trying to pull away, so I let him, because otherwise I’ll beg him to take me right here and now. His forehead rests against mine, and I take this opportunity to breathe him in.

“God, I’ve missed you so much.”

“I’ve missed you, too,” I say, still trying to grasp the reality of what is happening. “I still can’t believe you’re here.”

His eyes meet mine as confusion settles on his face. “Why?”

“Because of everything that’s happened between us. Because of everything I said to you. I thought you would hate me forever. It’s what I wanted.”

“I could never hate you.”

“I would hate me,” I whisper.

His hands move to my back, pulling me into his chest. “Know what I hate? I hate what he’s done to you. I hate what he took away from us, and most of all, I hate that you’re still letting him.”

God, I hate it, too.

“It’s time.”

“I know.” I agree, because even though I don’t deserve him, I need him in order to survive this.
