MY SPOILER *
This
is a teenager romance – you know, that first young love.
Avery
has know Hayden for awhile now. They attend the same school and work
together. They are best friends. She has feelings for him but she
doesn't want to lose her best friend so she says nothing. Until it's
time for a special dance that the girl has to ask the guy...Avery's
friend wants to ask Hayden. Avery isn't happy about this but will not
stand in the way. Hayden only wants to attend the dance as Avery's
boyfriend but how to tell her? YES! They are now more that just
friends but his mom puts her foot down.
What
to do? What all teenagers do, sneak around behind mom's back and
continue their romance. <Smile>
Things
are going so good and finally Avery is ready for the next step. So
they have their first time together. And can't keep their hands off
each other. But they are being smart and using protection. They both
have plans for their future and kids will be in that AFTER marriage
though. <smile>
His
mom finds out about their continued romance and has grounded him. But
they make plans to spend his birthday together. On the way home, an
accident happens and Hayden is killed. How can she survive? What did
the doctors say to Avery's mom while she was in the hospital? Is
there a reason for her to continue living??
Even
though this is an overview of the book – it is very well written
and I encourage you to get this book plus the second one. Riley J.
Ford is a terrific author.
Here
is my honest review of this book:
This
is a really good romance story! I already love Riley's writing style
and knew that I would not be disappointed with this book.
This
is a young love story of two seventeen year olds who are experiencing
that first true love. It's everything that we wish our first love
could be. But there are forces against them. First his mom, then life
itself. I am not going to spoil the story for you here. But I promise
you that this is a very good read and you don't want to miss it. Grab
a drink and get comfy because once you start, you will not want to
stop reading. I would also recommend that you download the second
part so that you can see what happens to Avery next.
You can pick this book up at the following:
And
they have the links to all the various online stores that you can
purchase from.
Stay tuned for my next book review!
