Becoming withdrew from the world and hiding from the chance of loving again. Having four older brothers and a determined best friend she had no choice but to stand strong.
Over time Riley was able to open up once again. She had no idea that the one person she needed was right under her nose.

They struggle through hard times and learn to trust again. But will the love that grows be enough to hold them together or will the heartache they suffer drive a wedge between them forever.
They could be toxic to one another or they could heal the wounds that run deep within their souls.

I am just going to start by throwing this out there… I want more
books!!!! Hahaha!! I loved Riley and Zander, so a sequel would be AMAZING and
also, spin-off books for her brothers Max and Carson. So, what do you say, C.A.
Harms, does that sound like a plan to you? ;)
Okay, let’s start from the beginning.
A beaten up Riley managed to escape yet another drunken
encounter with her current boyfriend, Parker…but not without quite a few physical bruises and emotional
scars. She drove away to the one place she felt safe. Her brother’s
apartment. Riley and Carson were extremely close so she knew he’d be able to
help her. Except, Carson wasn’t alone that night. So when he saw that state
Riley was in, he and his friends rushed over to Parker’s house. Suffice it to say that the police and Riley’s
parents had gotten involved by this point.
Time had passed and Riley had healed physically. She moved
in with her best friend Kate into a new apartment, and life was finally back to
being good. It was time to go out and have some fun again…and so they did.
Riley, Kate, and Carson went to a party where she came across the very hot,
hot, hot, Zander.
“You have no idea how much I want to kiss you,
Riley.”
God!!! Zander was dreamy!!!!!! He carried his heart on his
sleeve, he was kind, down to earth, fun, and not to mention, HOT. He had been through a lot already. He knew
what heartache really meant, yet he kept on living life as best as he could. You
could tell that from that first day, he was a goner where Riley was concerned,
and he didn’t stop until he got his girl.
Misunderstandings caused things to not get off on the right
foot…not even close. However, little twists and turns kept bringing Riley and
Zander together. Fate kept making sure they knew they belonged together. Until
it finally happened.
“You and me…I want it Riley.”
Their connection and attraction went beyond what words can
express. Simply put, Riley and Zander belonged together in every way. But see, Zander
had a few secrets. Secrets that kept getting in the way of his relationship
with Riley. And then, there was also Beth. God, did I dislike her!!! She
irritated me beyond belief and I felt so bad for Riley! With her extremely snotty
comments and actions, Beth kept putting Zander in difficult situations that
definitely caused angst and drama throughout the story line.
“Zander held my heart in his hands and had the
ability to break me.”
Riley and Zander had a few obstacles along the way…to say
the least, but it was amazing seeing them come out stronger each and every
time. They deserved to be
together and they surely deserved a
happily ever after. So yes, I finished reading with a huge smile across my
face. The ending was a bit open, so I’m really
hoping we get more Zander and Riley in the near future. And like I
mentioned in the beginning, spin-offs are more than welcome too!! I want more
of Carson and Kate and Max and Bree. =) Go one-click and meet Zander!
“This girl had my heart in the palm of her
hand and I would spend my life making her smile.”
