This book
is no picnic. We get an epic romance, but there are a lot of factors that made
it really difficult for them to be together. This book deals with very hard
issues, like physical and mental domestic abuse, and post-traumatic stress
disorder.
Jake and
Amber had an abusive father since they were little kids. And one night, after
receiving too many blows, Amber can’t stop crying, and their next door neighbor
and Jake’s best friend, Liam, creeps into her bedroom window, and hugs her
until she falls asleep in his arms.
After 8
years, they can’t fall asleep if it’s not in each other’s arms. Even though,
they kicked their father out of the house five years ago, after he attempted
rapping Amber, she still can’t sleep if it’s not in Liam’s arms or the
nightmares will come back.
Jake
doesn’t know that Amber and Liam sleep together every night, or he might freak
out. The last thing he wants to see is her little sister with his best friend,
so Liam had to put on a charade with Amber, pretending to be this mean manwhore
during the day, and being his sweet self during their nights together.
“Night Liam was considerate, loving and
thoughtful. Day Liam was a flirt, slut and a jerk. However, both night and day
Liam made me feel safe and protected.”
He really
is completely in love with her, since the first time he saw her. He even call
her ‘Angel’ (something super cliché,
but still sweet) and waits patiently for her to realize how much he loves her. Until
finally happens!
They start
dating, and fell head over heels for each other. They faced a lot of obstacles,
(and I mean a lot of very traumatizing circumstances), always together.
They’re a
great couple. They love each other unconditionally, and they fight together
against all odds.
““But I don't want to ruin your future.”
“You are my future, Angel.””
This was a
very emotional book, with lots of drama, and amazing main characters, that ends
up with a very unconventional family, a group full of love and support towards
each other. I wasn’t a fan of the writing style, filling it missing further
review at times, but the story captivated me completely.
