~Review~
Most people don’t think that one can you really find the
love of your life when you’re only seventeen years old, well that’s what
happened when Cash met Piper. But due to certain circumstances Piper moved away
from him and even after five years of not seeing her Cash knew that fate will bring
them together again. That’s exactly what happened when Cash met up with Piper
five years later; they had five days to learn about each other while Cash make
his delivery for his bosses trucking company. Along this journey they will
learn so much about each other and also one secret that Piper not only know but
also a secret that Cash’s father hid from him for more than ten years. Cash
have always believed in fate and he knew that they were meant for each other.
You will definitely fall in love with this character and this story is one for
the love books. Great writing by Raen Smith and a wonderful story of two loves
that was never lost at all.
~Excerpt~
We’re leaping through the air feet first, the rain falling on us
as we’re suspended above the water. It’s only five feet down, but somehow I see
the pink toenail polish on her feet and the sheen of her legs. Then I see her
feet hit the water before I do. I’m holding my breath now, anticipating the
cold rush of water around my whole body.
And it feels surreal, the rain pummeling my body as I jump off
this cliff with the girl I fell in love with when I was seventeen. To say that
I’m falling all over again is cliché and mushy and hopelessly romantic, but
it’s true. And even though it’s just mere seconds that we’re suspended in the
air, it feels like forever that we’re dangling there together. I’ve never seen
my life and future with such clarity as I do now, inching toward the water.
Whatever happens in the next seventy-odd years that I plan on living, the only
thing that matters is that Piper Sullivan is with me. I won’t ever let go of
this hand.
The water crashes over me then, consuming me with a coldness that
sends shockwaves through my body. My head ducks under momentarily before I pop
back up to see Piper’s head emerging next to me. Her eyes are wide and wet with
surprise as she exhales, sputtering water in front of her.
She lets out a shriek, “Oh my God, it’s so cold!”
“Hell yeah it is,” I reply as I kick my legs to stay afloat. Our
heads bob in water that can’t be any more than sixty degrees, and I realize
that we’re not holding hands anymore because we’re both treading water. I swim
toward her until our faces are just an inch apart. The rain splashes against
the water between us, plopping small splatters of water onto her chin. We’re
both breathing hard as I reach underneath the water and wrap my arm around her
waist. I feel the lace flush against her skin and pull her closer until our
bodies are rubbing against each other.
“Warm me up,” she whispers.
“I thought you’d never ask,” I say as I press my lips onto hers. They’re
warm and soft, and a jolt rushes through my body as I connect with her. Our
lips move against each other, slow for only a moment until we’re frantic
against each other. She gently bites my lower lip again and damn, does it feel
good.
Let’s be honest, it sends me overboard. I explore every inch of
her lips and mouth as we still bob in the icy water. She reaches for me,
putting her arm around my waist and guides her legs toward me. She circles her
legs around my waist, and I’m holding her then as she sits on me. She rocks
closer to me as I kick to keep us both above water. And I realize that the only
thing between us are two thin, so unbelievable thin, layers of fabric. I can
feel the goose bumps running along her legs. I hold her there as our lips find
each other in the rain. The water crashes down behind us from the waterfalls,
the dull thud of splatters echoing in my ears.
A glint of brightness lights up the sky for a brief moment, and I
see her face like I’ve never seen it before. It’s full of desire and longing
and bliss, and I swear, I catch a glimpse of love. I think for a second that
maybe, just maybe Piper Sullivan loves me.
