Book Description:

Can everlasting love grow amidst never-ending despair? Best friends Justin and Haylee learn early on that the answer is yes. Their parents would rather spend time drinking and partying than raising children, so the two rely on each other for the care and emotional support they need. Over time, Justin and Haylee become lovers despite the age difference between them.

Theirs is a forbidden romance that would destroy them both if discovered.

The older of the two, Justin is more than a little rough around the edges. He does everything he can to protect Haylee from as much abuse as possible, but when tragedy strikes there is nothing he can to do keep her from being taken into the foster system.

The system meant to save kids threatens to pull the two of them apart.

Haylee begs Justin to run away with her, but the powers-that-be force him into an inescapable corner. Blaming Justin for the distance that separates them, Haylee shuts out everything and everyone from her past - including Justin. She tries to forget him. She tries to replace him. But he is always there. So is her own addiction. When it finally gets the best of her, she finds herself utterly alone.

She soon discovers what Justin has always known: Their love was worth waiting for.

A realistic love story, at least for me, is all about a guy loving a girl and doing anything, or almost anything, for her or to prove his love to her. I like heroes, no, I LOVE heroes. I'm not saying the woman needs to be witless and weak, I'm a strong, independent, capable female and still the thought of a man in charge, rescuing a woman, or doing crazy things for the girl he loves melts me to my core.

Call me anti-feminist, or old fashioned or whatever else you want but I love stories where the guy is head-over-heels for his woman. I kind of like the stories where the player gets played and all of a sudden he's smitten. Sometimes that works but my favorite are the good guys who get their girl in the end.

And by good I don't mean they have to be “good” they can be a bad boy, if their love for their girl is the real kind of love. It fascinates me how guys can love us ladies with all of our moods and quirks and stuff. Let's be honest, women are hard to love and a man who sticks by his woman is, to me, the best kind of guy, like Justin in my book, “Waiting on Justin,” sure he's a troublemaker but he is such a good guy for Haylee, but I'm a sucker for the good, strong, Mr. Darcy's in the world too.

My TV Corner

Hi all, I’m back and will hopefully be weekly … cause well I'm a TV addict and there is nothing I love best that sharing my TV thoughts with you all. So here it goes lets discuss my favorite shows this week!

Sunday's

Once Upon A Time - ABC 8/9c

This episode focused on Belle and her connection with Arendale.  It turns out our dear sweet Belle has been keeping secrets and these secrets directly correlate to what happened to Anna.

The Snow Queen did it, sorry I couldn’t resist, but truly who didn’t see that coming, and while it might have been somewhat predictable Belle’s guilt over it somewhat ridiculous considering who she’s married to and all the secrets Rumple’s been keeping, but alas that wasn’t the most interesting part of the episode.

The fact that Regina can’t find a cure for Marion and recommend to Robin that he stop loving her so that he can give Marion true love’s kiss well… that is.  It was a heartbreaking scene and well sorry Regina unless you are planning on making Robin forget you that isn’t going to happen.  And lastly we have Emma and Elsa who’ve learned just what The Snow Queen wants and that’s a “happy little witchy family of lovely blondes”.

Resurrection - ABC 9/8c

Once again Michelle Fairley as Margaret Langston has stolen the show with another riveting and truly terrifying performance. Margaret is the queen bee and what she knows could change everything.

But, it was this week’s reveal concerning Bellamy that was truly shocking.  I don’t think anyone watching was surprised when it was revealed early this season that Bellamy was a returned but learning that he was the baby the couple with the little girl in season one was looking for… that was bringing it all back full circle. Kudos, writers well done.

Now we’ve got the sickness to contend with and the fact that Bellamy has given some of his medicine to Maggie, anyone else think its time he told her what’s actually going on with him?

Book Description:

Drenched in darkness and surrounded by the echo of screams, Jinji waits deep in the dungeons of Rayfort, haunted by the memory of the knife stabbing Rhen, plagued by a foreign voice whispering through her mind. 

A few floors above, Rhen rests trapped in a coma, about to wake to a changed world—a world where his best friend is a woman, his nephew is the king, and an enemy army surrounds him on all sides.

But human wars are insignificant compared to the darkness gathering unseen. Memories of lives she never lived flash through Jinji's thoughts, hinting at a past that cannot be repeated. A mysterious phantom visits Rhen, carrying cryptic messages of the future. And somewhere out there, the shadow continues to lurk in silence.

Uncertain of their relationship and tempted by new feelings, Rhen and Jinji must find a way to work together. The fate of humanity rests on their shoulders and the real battle has only just begun…

Excerpt:

Jinji has just been freed from the dungeons of Rayfort and was brought into a finely decorated room to wait and see who ordered her release.

The entry swung open, and there he stood. Commanding. Taking up the entire frame of the doorway, hair just as bright as Jinji remembered, eyes just as sparkling.

All breath left her body and she stood speechless, still not sure if she was awake. Rhen looked at her with an expression Jinji couldn't read. Confusion. Horror. Sympathy. Longing. All of them or none of them, she couldn’t decide.

Jinji watched, waiting for him to disappear, to wink out of existence just like her illusions. But he seemed so solid. Seconds ticked by but the room felt frozen in time.

Excerpt:

I sprinted through the night until I came upon a couple from the party. “What happened?” I gasped through rushed breaths. “Why is everyone standing around?”

The girl looked at me, annoyed. “Because there’s a guy on the roof?”

“What?” I looked past them and saw Zoe and Blake. I ran to them.
