Synopsis: Don’t let my petite and innocent appearance fool you, because I’m one person you don’t want to cross. I’m Micah, the youngest member of Resurrection…If only they knew how young. My fake ID says I’m twenty-one.
And I will be…in four years.
What can I say? I blossomed early. Home sucked, so I left, determined to do something with my life.
Landing the gig as lead vocalist in the band was a dream come true. I’ve worked hard to make something of myself and nothing is going to ruin that for me.
Then He showed up.
He’s hot as hell and so into me. But he’s also twenty-five.
I don’t want to lie to him, but if the truth comes out I’ll lose everything, including him.
Excerpt
He reached into his pocket and pulled out his ipod. “Put on
some music if you like.”
I took it, letting my fingers glide over his. His eyes
darted toward me briefly and my heart jumped. I quickly looked down, busying
myself with his music collection. I ran through artists until I came across
Severed. Smiling, I clicked play.
“You have your own music in here,” I said with a giggle.
He shrugged. “If I don’t appreciate it, then why should I expect
anyone else to?”
“I guess. I just think it’s cute. Like an actor going to see
themselves at the cinema.”
“You don’t think Nic Cage or Brad Pitt go to the movies?” he
asked in mock horror.
“I don’t know. I met Brad Pitt once in Starbucks.”
He chuckled. “I can just imagine how that went down.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.
“Well, you were kind of freaked out when you realized who I
was. Meeting someone actually famous? You’d lose the plot,” he laughed.
“Well, in my defense, I didn’t have posters of Brad Pitt all
over my walls—” I shut my mouth, but it was too late. No, no, no…
“You had posters of me on your walls?” he repeated, amused.
“Micah, that is adorable.”
“Shut up,” I mumbled, coving my face with my hands. He
chuckled loudly next to me, clearly not ready to let this go. “No! No laughing.
Just shut up and drive.”
Review
I was given book for honest review. Micah takes her life into her own hands when she decides to runaway but she does it smart. A fake ID lets her pursue the life she has dreamed of and what makes it even better Sax. But he has a past as well so can they make it work or will the past and lies tear them apart. I read this in one sitting no breaks except for a quick acknowledgement “Yeah, I’ll go to sleep in a minute” -which turned into couple hours. It was excellent and am looking forward to seeing how Micah and Sax progress and develop.
