Synopsis
**THIS IS THE STANDALONE EDITION OF KEEP ME STILL AND INCLUDES THE PREQUEL AND SEQUEL NOVELLAS Let You Leave and Hold Us Close.
Layla Flaherty had the perfect life, or close to it. Until a stranger gunned her parents down right in front of her, leaving her with seizure inducing PTSD. After years of trying to pass as normal and failing miserably, she resigns herself to being invisible. But new to town Landen O’Brien sees her, and he likes what he sees. Much to Layla’s surprise, he doesn’t freak out when she has a seizure in front of him. He does the exact opposite, calming her until the tremors subside. But Landen has secrets of his own. Secrets that both bind them together and tear them apart.
Scarred by loss, Layla leaves her hometown of Hope Springs, Georgia, hoping to put her painful past behind her and start over in college in California. When she runs into Landen at freshmen orientation, she has a choice to make. Reinforce those steel walls she’s built up around herself or give the only boy who can keep her still a second chance.
Landen’s more than ready to tear down those walls but this time when they come crashing down, they might bury her.
Review
Blown away by this story, to have two characters completely evolve as teenagers to young adults and each face their demons and push so many boundaries within their own relationship and those of their friends and family was truly inspiring to read. You are not kept still in their journey, this romance blends and explodes with passion and such intense adoration as the characters grow older.
Yes I loved their romance and heated young lust moments but the other challenges they both faced had me truly riveted to the pages. Sometimes I was scared, sometimes I had tears in my eyes and there were times when I smiled and laughed because I was so happy for them. You do go on an incredible journey with these two characters being they are so young, yet they are both really old souls underneath with what they have been dealt in life.
Whilst the Synopsis may lead you to believe that Layla has so many challenges to conquer, I found myself totally surprised with the turn of events with Landen and how it really will have you wondering how their love story will end. There are lots of shocks, secrets and characters that change and will make you love or hate them.
A beautiful romance story that I will treasure and remember – Layla and Landen – love conquers.
