:
At age twenty-three, Alex has had a hard life. His
parents died when he was quite young, leaving his grandparents to raise him.
Right before his high school graduation, his grandparents passed on too,
leaving him all alone.
After losing everyone he's ever loved, Alex turns
to the streets in a self-destructive pattern until he finally ends up in
Springhill, where he tries to make a new life for himself.
Clair’s childhood was normal until age thirteen,
when her father left the family and she never heard from him again.
Consequently, her mother went into a deep depression, forcing Clair to grow up
quickly.
After finishing high school, Clair’s heartache
over her father’s absence as well as her unbearable mother drive her to strike
out on her own. But having nowhere to go and no family to speak of, Clair
wanders aimlessly from town to town, homeless, and without purpose. Looking for
work wherever she goes and living hand to mouth on the streets is tough, Clair
discovers, but living with her mother is worse.
Now twenty-one years old, Clair has found her way
to the last place she and her family took their final vacation as a
family--Springhill. While in town, she crosses paths with Alex and their
ensuing relationship grows faster than expected. Soon Clair wonders if coming
back to Springhill and meeting Alex was the best decision or the worst decision
she ever made.
About the
Author:
Loni Flowers lives in Eastern North Carolina with
her husband; two wild toddlers, who never slow down for a second; and three
couch-potato dogs, who only raise an eye when foods around. She spends her days
working full-time for a well-known bank. When she's not playing on the internet
or chatting on Twitter or Facebook, she spends her free time with friends and
family waiting for the next big idea strike.
She enjoys reading most anything, but is a sucker
for a good romance story. Contemporary romance is her writing genre of choice
but isn't opposed to writing something different should an excellent idea hit.
Some of her favorite authors include: L.J.
Kentowski, Stefne Miller, Cassandra Clare, J.K. Rowling, and Karen Marie
Moning, Nicholas Sparks, Jodi Picoult... just to name a few.

Book Review:
I have never read a romance story
that made me cry as much as this one.
Not that it’s a bad thing. I
loved this story. It’s sweet, sad,
funny, and utterly charming. A definite
5 out of 5 clouds.
