~Devon~

I fell in love with Ireena Monroe, and then she fell in love with my identical twin brother. It ripped us apart, and we haven’t spoken since.
My childhood friend, Claudia Tamasy, is the only one who fully understands what’s happened to me, and unfortunately, she also is the only one to witness my reaction to it all. Her dad opens a branch of his business near Silver Springs and we end up working there together. Friends, co-workers… lovers? No, we can’t be. It’s too odd and weird and it would ruin the honesty we share in every other way. The last thing that will ever distract me is a relationship. Fool me once… well, I watched the girl I loved marry my brother. No, hell no, will I ever be fooled again.
Until my brother calls me with devastating news about Ireena and Claudia tries to make me see I have to go help him. But how can I forgive him? And what can I do as Claudia is the only one who can help me get through this?
But by then… what if I’ve already ruined everything?

My Thoughts:

Claudia Tamasy has a man in her life that’s clueless about her feelings – she wears her heart on her sleeve. He also doesn’t realize how much her heart hurts. Claudia seems to have more emotion than Devon – like he’s shut down. Devon Willapana is clueless as to how hurtful his words can be.

This has to be the author’s most emotional story in the series to date. She also includes family issues that seem to affect our main couple. Again, her characters are complex and are dealing with lots of issues. Support is a big theme here – sometimes we forget that the biggest thing we can do for someone is support his or her decisions.

There are times where you just can’t like someone that an author has created. You know how well the author does their job when you may start to talk to that person and give them a piece of your mind. Then you talk to the female and let them know that they could do better. But you hope that anyone can be redeemable and if you don’t follow the story than how are you going to know. It is important that you make it to the end so you can see whose story is up next. If you’re invested in this series, you also can’t give up now.

Something happened last year that changes how I approach my life. I told no one about it. It’s affected all of my relationships and ended the one with the girl I thought I’d be with forever. I’m a hero at college and one of the top quarterbacks at the university level, and I have the popularity to show for it. Still, none of it feels deserved after what I failed to do last year. I’m riddled by guilt and confusion over what happened, but worse is my reaction to it.

Jacey Walker has her own tales of horror that come to light after she finds refuge with my parents in Silver Springs. She’s caught my eye and interest. She has an awakening curiosity about a new and brighter future than she’s ever imagined, which has me reevaluating and appreciating my own until I realize who has caught her attention. Now I have to face my own history or risk Jacey paying the consequences.

My Thoughts:

Wyatt Kincaid was on top of the world one moment and then it was just taken away.  He’s bottled something inside that’s going to eat at him.  That’s part of what catches your attention and leaves you wondering what you’re going to do.  I was glad to see his story was coming out because I had questions when meeting him in book one.  That also shows you that you need to read this series in order.

One moment Jacey Walker’s in the system and the next she’s not.  From what I understand that’s actually true.  It breaks your heart that people seem to care and then you turn around and they don’t anymore.  She puts a voice to something we need to change.  This may be a work of fiction but it takes on a seriously real subject.  She also has a connection to the first book.  So, again, if you haven’t read Wesley yet I would stop and go back and start there first.

Our author has created some complex characters that have issues of one kind or another.  Wyatt is a good character when it comes to misjudging people.  He has great parents.  They are willing to give someone a chance and give him or her a helping hand when needed.  But he feels like he has to deal with things on his own.  Jacey is the one who will voice our questions and go about getting the answers we need.    This is both a compelling book and a compelling series.  If you like books that don’t show anyone as picture perfect and have real life problems than you may want to check this series out.

~Wesley~

Yeah, I don’t trust them.
Who are they? The family who takes me in after they catch me making a rare mistake. They offer me a deal that allows me to make amends while staying with them and working. I’ve never had a permanent home and I’d long since run away from the foster care system after my last “home” had someone using my back for a cigarette tray. My means of supporting myself? Whatever necessary. That includes anything and everything I needed to do to survive. That’s all my life has been about anyway: survival. And you know what? I’ve done just that. Survived. And thrived while doing so.

Then this strange family decides to rescue me. Though not for a moment do I need rescuing. I’ve made my life something interesting and important while remaining independent. I’m neither homeless, nor a criminal. I’ll do my penance in this small town of Silver Springs, but nothing will make me lose sight of the life waiting for me on the road.

I don’t trust their motives for a second and I’m ready at any moment for it to go wrong. Nothing is going to make me believe in them. Even as I meet Dani Dawson, who is a waitress in the café where I work and is dating the son of the family I’m staying with. She tries to show me a softer side to life. Still, I know that nothing lasts: not food, shelter, parents, friends, brothers, families, and certainly not love. Especially if you’re relying on others for it. I rely on no one but myself. Always have and always will. No matter what. So, I’m ready for it all to go to crap, but until then? Joke’s on all of them and I’ll take advantage of it until the very last moment.

My Thoughts:

Wesley does what he feels he has to. His story shows that you can’t tell what a person is going through just by looking at them. He gives a voice to those that choose to live life outside of what most consider normal – especially when it comes to young people. Dani can’t believe what she’s seeing. One character that’s important here is Tara. She sees something in people that others don’t. She’s willing to give you a chance in a world where society probably would just give up without lending a helping hand.

This book shows that either the author has a great imagination, knows where Wesley is coming from, or did a lot of research. Wesley is a strong character who will suck the reader in and keep you enthralled until you understand him. This is one reason that all the characters become important. We get to see Wesley go from teenager to young man and he sees that not all people are the same. I like that we get a chance to see how this young man perceives things.

Wyatt is a character that you will wonder about. Why is he acting as he is? What’s his story? I thought this was a great way to start things. As Wesley gets comfortable, that’s when things get revealed but it does make it hard to find the best stopping point. If not for having this book on tour, I may never have discovered this author. This book was totally different from anything that I’ve read in I don’t know how long. So saying this is original would be a true statement. I can’t wait to see what this series is going to reveal next.
