J Bailes Spotlight

Synopsis:

***Mature Audience Only 18+***

Allie Anderson has encountered more heartache than any one person deserves. She's lost her father to cancer, her brother to war, and the love of her life –Wyatt - took her most prized possession and vanished without a trace. She’s left crushed and heart-broken.

Blake, Allie's best friend, is everything she needs; he'd give her the moon if she asked for it, but there's one problem - he wants Allie entirely. How can Allie give herself to anyone when she's not sure there’s enough left of her heart to give away?

Allie's life begins to fall into place. Her heart begins to heal. Being happy is no longer a foreign emotion. That is until the man who broke her years ago returns, shattering her fragile heart all over again.

Allie soon discovers that hearts are like broken glass; you can put it back together again, but it will never be the same.

Review

I was given this book by author for honest review. Shattered and Shaken is aptly named, cause that’s what this entails. Emotions that run a gauntlet flinging you about in a storm. Very good book for debut and can’t wait to find out what becomes of the triangle of Allie her best friend turned interest Blake and past love Wyatt. Warning cliffhanger ending.

Synopsis

Walking away from her was the hardest decision I ever made. Leaving her without an explanation broke us both. Our hearts have been left shattered. I could make excuses. I could lay the blame on others, but still I made the decision. I had to. It was the only way to protect the both of them.

After all of Allie’s loss, my thought was only on her and her happiness. On her love and need for her big brother. I was replaceable, Kyle wasn’t. I wouldn’t allow him to crush her heart with his death. I knew I had to follow him. I would throw myself on top of bombs, in front of bullets, whatever it took to get him home to her, alive. There are two sides to every story, and you’ve only heard one. Don’t be so quick to judge; I hate myself for what I’ve done. But all that I did, it was all for Allie.

Review

I was given this book by author for honest review. Taking it to a new level with this short novella Bailes gives you Wyatt’s reasons for leaving in Shattered and Shaken. Whole new respect for the guy if you had a hard time liking him from before. Can hardly wait till Shattered and Mended.
