Emery
I’ve loved Jordan Grady since I was eight.
Since he became my protector.
Since he became my safe haven each night.
But I was younger.
Off limits...
Until high school when he finally kissed me.
And for a few fleeting moments, everything was right in the world.
Then I was forced to do the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do...
Disappear from his life without a trace.
Grady
I’m Alabama’s star right tackle—and a real prick.
I live my life, by a few solid truths.
Life isn’t fair.
Don’t let anyone get too close.
And those who claim to care about you can up and leave.
But you know what they say about things that disappear...
But Emery Pruitt had never been mine.
Even if she had returned after four years.
Older.
Confident.
And more beautiful than the night she vanished.
But it didn’t erase the fact that she’d left me.
So, why find me now?
MY REVIEW:
One of the sweetest, for a second chance, love stories in a long time. This takes you from a grade school to college relationship. You will encounter first love, abuse, rescues, a second chance, new friendships, abandonment issues, and so much more.
It will give you a sense of nostalgia, the wonderment of new love, the fear of bad relationships, and abandonment. Yet, a true understanding of how one act can cause an avalanche of chain reactions to happen.
When your best friend who has been shadowing for seven years ups and disappears after you both just shared your first kiss. What could you think? Is she embarrassed? Did I scare her? But when one day turns into tow.
Jordan is willing to speak to Emery’s abusive stepdad, Wayne. He tells, Jordan from the bottom of a whiskey bottle that Emery and her mom left a note that they are not coming back. Part of Jordan was relieved her mom had finally gotten them away. But another part of him was hurt and upset because of Emery up and left without a goodbye. After weeks and nothing his pain and hurt turned to anger.
Jordan turns into a young man Emery wouldn’t even know or want to notice. All the dreams they had talked about were just that talk it made him Angier. She would never sit front row center when he made the Alabama team.
So, on Saturday, before he starts his senior year, he has a party at his home. Now over the summer he had lost a great deal of weight and got ripped. He was getting a lot of attention from the ladies. As he was drinking a pitcher of beer in walks the new QB who he hates. He is a cocky SOB. But it’s who is on his arm that blows him away. Holy Crap its EMERY!
Yup, you must read. You won’t regret it. The characters are so engaging. The romance sweet and the storyline within a storyline is also so good. I give this: 5++++ stars. Provided by netgalley.com.
