Shayne
I’ve never had anyone look at me the way he looks at me, like I could be his whole world.
Ford is different from other guys. For starters, he doesn’t know about my troubled past—the one this small town won’t let me forget, no matter how hard I try. Being with him, I can be myself. Without judgment. Without pretending. He’s unlocked a part of me I wasn’t sure still existed.
Just as quickly as we find each other, it’s time to say goodbye. Ford might feel a world away, but reading his letters and sharing starry nights with him keeps us close until I can be back in his arms.
Ford
From the first moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I needed more time.
While on leave with my best friend from the Army, I finally meet his cousin, Shayne. She’s unexpected—in the best of ways. I quickly realize she could be exactly who I need her to be—my everything.
As long as my life belongs to the military, I can only offer her promises and distance. Maybe getting in involved while enlisted is a mistake, but I’m not ready to let her go. From afar, we find something neither of us was looking for, and it’s all possible beneath the fallen stars.
“Whenever you miss me, just look up at the stars. I’m staring at the same sky every night.”
ARC REVIEW ➞
This book. Oh my heart. It was full of romance, emotions and loveable characters!
Ford knew from a young age he wanted to join the Army, so he enlisted at 18. He loved serving and he met his best friend, Chad, during boot camp. Now on leave Ford and Chad are visiting Chad’s hometown and his family, who happens to include his cousin Shayne. Shayne has had a rough life and being stuck in a small town isn’t the best, but she has learned to ignore the whispers as best as she can.
There is an instant connection between Ford and Shayne. I loved everything about the two of them individually and together. Ford is super caring and protective. Shayne has walls up, but she slowly lets them down and lets Ford in. Their journey is emotional, but it is also truly beautiful. I love how easily Ford’s family accepted Shayne and instantly became a support system for her.
I’m hoping that Chad and Ford’s twin sister, Faith, get a book next! I’m dying to know more about them and of course, get more of Ford and Shayne.
If you’re looking for an emotional, military romance this is one to read!
