Excerpt :
I finally reach his big, wooden
door at the top of the steps. With my heart pounding, I reach quickly for the
doorknob. I’m planning to just bust my way in there. But when I lay my hand on
the knob, I pause. Because above the pounding in my ears I can hear guitar
chords…a melody playing softly through the thick door. Not just any melody, but
the most beautiful and heartbreaking melody I’ve ever heard. It’s a simple
song, slow and beautiful, a ballad. The sound makes my heart hum and my mind
clear. My blood pressure returns to normal again instantly.
The melody continues and it’s so
beautiful that I’m compelled to stand in silence and listen. I desperately need
to hear it more clearly. I’m scared to go in; afraid the melody will stop when
he sees me. I carefully and quietly turn the doorknob, cracking the door just a
slight bit. I stop breathing for a moment, praying he hasn’t noticed. When the
melody continues, I put my ear up to the crack.
The song fills my head like a
dream, each note breaking my heart with the emotion it coveys. Tears spring to
my eyes, and I’m not even sure why other than that the haunting tune.
“In my heart’s sequestered
chambers lies truth stripped of poets gloss…” I hear Jeremy’s voice
begin with the melody. His voice, yet not his voice. His voice because it’s
still bluesy and rock and roll, but soft and extremely sad. Devastatingly sad.
Beautiful…
“Words alone are vain and vacant
and my heart is mute…” His voice breaks on the end of
the sentence, but the song continues. “In response to aching silence memory
summons half heard voices. And my soul finds primal eloquence and wraps me in
song…” Tears fall down my cheeks, his singing changing and warming as
if he is actually wrapping me in the music he plays. His voice becomes more
beautiful as he continues, pained and tortured.
“Wraps me…in song…If you would
comfort me, sing me a lullaby. If you would win my heart, sing me a love song. If you would mourn me and bring me to God, sing me a
requiem. Sing me to heaven!” His voice crescendos as he sings the lyrics,
ending in a wounded plea, as if he’s begging for relief from pain.
I’m sobbing loudly now, and I
can’t wait anymore to be in his presence. I push the door open and see his shocked
expression from the couch in the living room where he sits. He’s holding his
glimmering silver guitar in his hand, and I spot where my name is written in
green cursive along the bottom of it.
He looks surprised at first, his
eyes wide and breathing rapid. We lock eyes with each other and tears roll down
both our cheeks. His fingers move along the neck of the guitar again, not
looking away from me. “Sing me a lullaby. A love song. A requiem. Love
me, comfort me. Bring me to God.”
I put a hand up to my mouth. He
takes a shaky breath and continues. “Sing me a love song. Sing me to
Heaven…” He finishes, the last note lingering in the air, soft and
sweet and agonizing.
My knees give out under the
weight of my stress and pain. My emotions have been all over the place. Here I
was, coming to scream at him and tell him that I thought he was a piece of
shit. Now I find myself sobbing on the floor of his apartment because of the
crushing way that I love him. That I can’t live without him. That he needs to
tell me it’s not true.

Excerpt:
I make a disgusted sound in my throat. “I am totally fucked up by what my mother did to me,” I say, still aghast at his reaction to my story.
“Fucked up?” he questions, confused. “Why? Because you’re shy? Because you’re private? Because you don’t like to be vulnerable? Because you strive to achieve great things to prove you’re good enough to be worth something?”
The way he instantly knows me makes me very uncomfortable. I freeze, wide eyed and unable to speak for a moment. How could he see me so clearly? How did this connection between us go so deeply? It was disturbing to me, the understanding between us. It’s deeper than even the physical pull between us, as if the air that separates our bodies is electrically charged. I had worked my whole life to push people away, building up this wall of protection. And yet here is this man, tearing it down and seeing who I am through all the bullshit. Maybe I'm not as good at hiding myself as I thought.
“Yeah,” I finally muttered. “Those reasons are pretty much why.”
“It makes you beautiful. The things you say it created in you... are what attract me to you in this unbelievable way. You’re timid, shy, brilliant, and completely unaware of how amazing you are.”
I go statue still. My heart feels like it’s going to explode at his words. How did our conversation change course so quickly? I don’t know if I’m prepared for this. “Amazing?” I repeat in disbelief.
He smiles a catlike smile, like he’s hunting again. Immediately, my breathing increases. “Oh yes. When I first saw your eyes from the stage,” he leans closer to me. I want to both back away and lean toward him at the same time. “I wanted to make them roll back into your head. I wanted to grab your round hips and pull you close to me.” He crouches on the couch, one leg on and one leg off, leaning over me. With his face against my cheek again, he whispers in my ear, “You. Are. Breathtaking.”
My 4.5 Star Review:
I was really excited about getting this book. I could not
wait to see what was going to happen with Dylan and Jeremy. Sarah did not
disappoint me at all.
I think I liked this one better than the first one in the
series, Both Dylan and Jeremy have grown up a little.
Dylan is moving
through life trying to be happy since everything that happened with Jeremy in Book
1. She is in a relationship with Scott, She does love him, but it is in a
totally different way then she loves Jeremy. She is in her 3rd year of college with
her law degree and just starting her internship with the District Attorney’s
office. . Then a situation puts her back in Jeremy’s life.
I don’t want to ruin one ounce of this book for anyone, you
need to get the full effect of it all to understand it all on your own.
I will say this it is not going to be an easy road for Dylan
and Jeremy, there is a lot of things that come to the surface. Dylan is going
to fight for what she feels is right. Jeremy is going to piss you off, maybe
even Dylan will once or twice, BUT in the end it is all worth the pain,
heartache, and love in between.
Although I wanted Dylan and Jeremy to finally get it
together and have their HEA I have to admit I felt a little bit sorry for
Scott. All that he had invested into his relationship with Dylan and he got
nothing in return but heartache. I am kind of hoping that Sarah will do a spin
off and give Scott the HEA that he rightfully deserves.
