Book Blurb
***** Mature Content, Sexual Situations, Adult Situations, Alcohol Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Strong Language *****
Eighteen-year-old Devin McKay is a complete and total emotional wreck. Fresh out of high school and on her own for the first time in her life, she’s reeling from rejection of a relationship gone very, very bad. Emotionally battered and tormented by the pull of her narcissistic first love, she wants to make a clean break in a small mountain town where he is everywhere... with his new girlfriend.
Ronin Andrews is still battling his own cataclysmic ghosts. He recoils from anything heartfelt, choosing instead to work hard and live wild. Outside of his job, parties and causal hooks-ups are his life until Devin walks in. With her short skirt and her sad green eyes, he can’t help but want her… badly. His protective streak wants to provide her with a haven, to shelter and sustain her.
Through a flash of torrid intensity, they struggle to be friends... just friends. She relies on him to nourish her shattered soul and shield her heart from the clawing, gnawing loss that has consumed her. Before long, the attraction proves too tenacious, and the passion between them becomes undeniable. But will the shadows of the past prove too much to overcome?

Review
Coming into this book I did my very best to keep an open mind.... in the
end what I found was a delightfully written story of true friendships,
true loves, and how to move on with life if things don't go as planned.
Even though Devin did not have what would be considered an amazing or
conventional home life or support system, Devin lives alone in a condo
right out of high school she found herself with a group of friends who
loved, supported, and encouraged her. I found the story between Devin
and Ronin and by extension their group of friends to be not only
entertaining, but exceptionally heart warming. I am going to have a
"book hangover" for some time and am anxiously awaiting for what Sibylla
throws at us next-- all in all a big thumbs up!
5 stars ......... *****
