Chloe is a nanny for the rich Reed family. She has sat their twins for a few summers now since the parents' attention on the children is nonexistent. The Reeds have an older son, Tyler, who is a football player at his college. Through framed pictures, Chloe has fallen in love with the older brother just as much as his younger siblings have. Tyler seems to have stayed a little longer than expected at the lake house this summer. Chloe is happy to see him right along with his siblings, but why in the hell is there another girl who tagged along with him?

While in law school Chloe meets her cute neighbor Cameron. He's smart, he's cute and he likes spending time with her. What should Chloe choose? Her adorable best friend or the boy she fell in love with through captured moments?

Chloe has to find her own bliss, but sometimes what you think is perfect, ain't so perfect. She grew up in a single parent household with a mother who is an alcoholic, chain smoker who suffers from delusions. Tyler seems to have the greatest family but with lack of parents' love yet high expectations does he even have it all? Chloe has never had anything come easy to her and we see that all throughout the book.

Narration: 1st Person Lake

Time it took to read: About one day

Main Character: Lake and Will

Copy: Kindle ($7.59)

Four Coils out of Five


We meet Layken "Lake", she's fresh from Texas and just moved from her childhood home to Michigan. This is the last place she wants to be. To top it all off, it's her senior year and her father unexpectedly died.


So, a new girl (Lake) moves into town and her neighbor (Will) has automatic hots for her. They go on a date and both feel an instant unexplained connection. Everything is going well, when suddenly, something happens when the two can’t be together yet they are still forced to see each other everyday multiple times a day. They live right across the street from each other and their little brothers are best friends, adding fuel to the fire.


Lake soon finds out why they had to pack up and move right after the father dies and now has to be a strong rock from the family. Will and Lake begin to communicate through a love of poetry. Will helps her get through the rough patch in her life and it is hard for both of them not to continue their romantic relationship. 


I was an emotional roller coaster when it came down to this book. It is a quick read. Lots of laughs, good tears, many smiles. While the main characters are easy to love, the secondary characters are a riot in themselves. Even when little brothers Kel and Caulder are sleeping they made me laugh. Lake’s best friend is a confident fire cracker who is witty and has a story of her own. A story for each secondary character can be written and enjoyed as stand alones.
