Blurb:

Mia Reeve’s faith, trust and sense of security were all taken away in the blink of an eye. In need of a fresh start, she settles into a new town and begins to make a new life.

Tristan Chamberlain has always kept girls at arms length and he has no intention of changing. He’s caring, smart, handsome, but he’s also dealing with a lifetime of guilt that’s slowly but surely destroying him.

Sometimes the thing that you run from is the one thing that will save you.

Separately, they’re both free-falling. Together, they’re about to find that love can create the strongest safety net of all.

EXCERPT

Tristan & Mia’s story ~ the all important first kiss.

The two of us huddled together over the table as we turned all of the pieces right side up and separated out all of the border pieces. From time to time our arms brush together, something that was I enjoying far too much. He smelled amazing, so good that it made me ache to touch a lot more than just his arm.

Our heads were close together in our position over the table and it was making me a little (okay, a lot) crazy to be so close to him. I wasn’t focusing on the puzzle at all and my hands had stopped trying to assemble the border. Turning his head to me, he opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. We were eye to eye staring at each other, the silence trapped between us.

I saw him leaning closer as his hands came up to cup my face, and I didn’t pull away or try to stop him. For the first time in my entire life, I really, really wanted to be kissed. It’s not like I’ve never been kissed before; clearly I have. But when you’re the child of someone who got pregnant in high school, you get a lot of safety lectures. Add to that the fact that my father has never missed an opportunity to espouse what a selfish and manipulative person my mother is for ‘trapping’ him and what a ‘burden’ her ‘tricks’ had been for him and I think it’s clear to see why I steered away from intimacy in high school like it was my job.

Tristan’s lips covered mine gently as he started softly before deepening the kiss. When we turned to face each other fully, I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and ran my fingers through his hair. He tasted better than I could ever have imagined, and he kissed me like he had a cheat-sheet for what would make me feel the best. I’ve never been kissed so passionately, or held as if I really matter to someone. Tristan cradled me in his arms like I was precious to him.

We pulled apart at the same time a few minutes later, and because he didn’t let me go, I didn’t let him go, either. We stared at each other in silence for a few moments, and I smiled shyly at him, even as I felt a blush steal across from my face.

He smiled back at me as he continued to stare at me with a look of confusion as the seconds passed before he spoke. “Holy Hell Mia… You make me feel… I don’t even know. Different?”

That’s like the pot calling the kettle black. The way I feel around Tristan is entirely new. “Right back at you,” I said quietly.

Prologue: Read it NOW

REVIEW

This is a really good solid book, I liked it not love too much internal monologue for me.
The storyline is what I like the most it's very gritty and raw some of the things that happens I believe mirrors actual happenings in society, which leave damaging consequences and lasting effects on people's lives.
Mia grew up with an uncaring father that treated her mother and her like dirt, he saw them as nothing more than an obstacle which he never failed to remind her of.
One night with her best friend Macy chanced her life forever they were violated in the most unimaginable way but it did not stop there they were taunted and harassed leading to extremely dire consequences on both girls.
nine months later Mia finally gets a new start at a college 5 hours away from her home town and all the people that turned their back on her in her hour of need.

I like Mia character; for all that she has been through she is incredibly strong and caring. Her room mate is very lovely, they hit it off right away.
On her first day of class she meets Tristan Chamberlain a very broken man with a shit load of issues of his own.

Upon meeting Mia his whole world changed, he would move heaven and earth get to know her luck for him he would get plenty of time because her new room mate Darby happens to be his sort of sister (as in her mum too him and his twin Trace in when their grandmother died age 14)

Trace and Darby are crazy in love but have a complicated relationship because he and Tristan are both Marlot (man-whore) Then next book in the #Catch series will be there story (can't wait).

Tristan was your typical alpha male but he had good reason for his behaviour. He was not over written and too dramatic in his mannerism and the way he handled things, I think Ella got it spot on with his character.

To summarise; a very good book with a great plot line, written in the first person Mia POV. The last few pages however is from Tristan, and sets the stage for the next book
