~Synopsis~
EVERYTHING CHANGED IN AN INSTANT.
I thought I knew what was important, but one phone call sent my life into a tailspin. Alone and afraid, I clung to the one man I shouldn’t. I was warned about him and told to stay away. “He’s dangerous,” they said. But the man who could hurt me the most, gave me the greatest comfort. "He's not who they think," I told myself. But just like an illusion, things are never what they seem.

~Review~
Well, I think that Chelle
have stolen the hearts of all her readers with another fantastic story. She brought
me to tears more than once while I was reading Callie’s story. I didn’t have
any other choice but to feel every emotion she was going through. I cried when
she found out her news, I cried when she was secluding herself from the world,
I bawled when she came to terms with what she was going to through, and I
bawled some more because she thought she should and could go through this
trying time by herself. The thing is she was betting on Bruno being the man
that he turned out be, he was there for her and help save her from herself. That’s
the come to Jesus moment in this book, because a lot of us have this
independence and believe that we can go through everything on our own, and I
was so happy to see Chelle highlight the fact that even though Callie believed
she had it all together it was ok to fall apart this one time, but Bruno made
sure she did do the whole pity party for long. One of my favorite parts of the
book was her cutting her hair, I got so choked up, it shows that the little
things we take for granted one day we’ll have it the next we don’t. Then the
gesture that Bruno gave, my goodness how can I not fall in love with him even
more. I actually bawled right with Callie in that moment, he was able to
communicate with her on a different level of understanding. I could go on and
on about this book man, I just couldn’t put it down once I started. I’m writing
this review and remembering everything I am getting very teary eyed. Thank you
so much Chelle for sharing this story with us, I love every single minute of
it.

~Excerpt~
Becca, my best friend, snaps her
fingers in my face. “Cal, are you listening to me?”
I smile and nod, but her words are
distant. I’ve looked at my phone at least
fifty times today. I’m on pins and needles waiting for an important phone call.
One that could change my life, and I haven’t told a soul about it—not even
Becca. Telling people makes it real, and
I’m not ready to face the possibility I could have more important things to
deal with than which pair of shoes to wear with my favorite Donna Karan dress.
“So what do you think?” Becca asks.
I blink a few times and pretend I
heard her question. “You should do it.”
“Okay,” she says and hops off the
stool.
I grab her hand, holding her next to
me so I can find out exactly what I told her to do. “Where are you going?”
“I asked if I should try to fuck ‘The
Butcher.’”
My mouth drops open and my eyes grow
as wide as saucers. “Becca!” I yell and wrap my fingers around her hand. “Sit
your ass down.” I glance over my shoulder, following her eyes to where he sits.
“He’s always looking over here,
ogling you. I thought maybe he’d take the next best thing.”
I gawk at her, completely in shock.
“You can’t be fucking serious.”
Slowly, she walks backward toward her
seat. “I’m just kidding, asshole. You acted like
you were listening, but you didn’t hear a damn thing. I just thought I’d fuck
with you.”
“I’m sorry.” The guilt of ignoring
her eats at me, and even though I want to tell her what’s going on, I don’t
dare. “And for your information, Bruno isn’t ogling me.”
She fiddles with her cosmopolitan. “I
think you should get your eyes checked next time you’re at the doctor, Cal.
He’s always watching you. It’s sexy, but it also creeps me the fuck out. He’s
so dangerous.”
I laugh, playing it off, but I’ve
noticed it too. “Is he looking over here now?” I ask, refusing to turn around
to look for myself.
She leans forward, her eyes peering behind me. “He is. He’s not taking his eyes off
us either.”
“He probably thinks we’re trouble or
something,” I say and hope she drops the topic because I’d rather find out what
she was going on about before.
“You can pretend like you don’t think
he’s hot, Cal, but I’ve seen you flirt with him more than once.”
I shake my head and chuckle softly.
“Smiling and saying hello isn’t necessarily flirting.”
“He has a thing for you.”
“He probably has a thing for every
girl in this place.”
“Nope.”
She shakes her head vigorously and puckers her lips. “He wants you.”
