What happens when something so terrible tears you apart from the inside out?
You become a fragment of yourself.
On the right path to achieving her hopes and dreams, Campbell Stevens has always been a model student. The first time she lets loose during her senior year of high school, she loses everything.
Living in a nightmare after surviving the most traumatic event, Campbell learns to be content by walking through life single and unattached, free of the uncertainty that relationships bring. She isn’t looking for love. In fact, she goes out of her way to avoid it—that is, until she runs into Deacon Montgomery, a kind and handsome Chicago firefighter. She denies her instant attraction to him, only making him more persistent in his pursuit of her. Despite her desire to be with Deacon, Campbell is too damaged to share herself with anyone else.
Life left Campbell shattered. Can Deacon help put the fragments back together? Or will she forever be broken?
Excerpt 1:
“Why are you so nice to me when I keep pushing you away? Why do you keep trying? I’m broken, Deacon. Don’t you know what's good for you?” Campbell pleads.
“Yeah, I do, and it’s you. I want all of you, and if you are broken, I want all those shattered pieces, too. Please just trust me.”
Cam’s eyes fill with unshed tears as her bottom lip quivers. I grab her head on either side, running my fingers through her hair, pulling her toward me, bringing her mouth to mine. I feel her lips quiver as I taste her, ravishing her mouth. Cam’s hands wrap around my waist and she runs her fingers up and down my back. I explore her mouth, my tongue greedy to touch every part. She whimpers, and my dick throbs in a needful plea.
Fuck, I want this girl.
Excerpt 2:
With a half sob, I scream into the air that's charged with the scent and flavor of sex, like an electrical storm of raw pleasure. I feel the warmth flush through my body and I lose my mind to the pleasure it brings. Deacon continues to taste below as he holds my quaking thighs. The ecstasy exits my pores, leaving my skin covered in head-to-toe goose bumps.
My shaking finally starts to slow as Deacon’s tongue mirrors the decelerating cadence. I breathe in and out, deeply trying to regain my equilibrium. My skin glistens with a thin sheen of sweat, my heart racing while my mind and body are in a post-orgasm utopian fog.
What the hell was that?
~~I received this in exchange for an honest review~~
Have you ever read a book that left you wanting more, even though the story has you wanting more? That book is like that.
This is the story of Campbell Stevens life, or lack thereof. Her life was taken from her (so to speak) when she was in Acapulco, Mexico. She gets by on what she knows. When she sees a man that is coming towards her, she freezes, he's beautiful, but she is terrified out of her mind of him. Deacon Montgomery is a hot fire fighter, and he see this woman that is beyond beautiful. After she turns the corner and he no longer sees her, she is all he can think about. She can't get him off of her mind either. When fate brings them together, can she stay away from him?
I read this book all night long. Ellie has taken a subject that is hard to talk about, and she has made that character rise above it. She faces it head on with the help of her friends. Ellie is a beautiful writer. She knows how to make a person laugh and cry all at the same time. You will not like this book, but you will love this book! You will live in a book hangover for a couple of days! The emotion that Ellie puts in the book, well, lets just say that there is a ton of emotion in this book. I wish there were more stars than five to give because this book is worth more than 5 stars!!
