~Excerpt~
"That wasn't yours to take away," he exploded into the otherwise silent night. His words echoed off the surrounding buildings, each wave slicing me to the quick all over again. "That was our place. Not yours." His voice cracked right alongside my heart.
"Yeah, well, there was a lot of stuff that wasn't yours to take either." I held his gaze, desperately trying to be strong, but as his eyes grew wide, I whimpered.
His long legs strode forward, stopping only inches away from me. He was crowding me, but he still leaned in closer to my face. "There is nothing in this world that was ever more mine than you," he stated. Though it was the absolute truth, I wished with all my heart that it were a lie.
"Till," I cried, swiping the tears from my eyes.
"Why!" he shouted, causing his muscles to tense under the force. "Goddamn it! I needed that place."
Porch lights flashed on from the surrounding apartments, illuminating not only the dark but also my rage.
I shoved my hands into his chest. "What about what I needed? You left! I waited in that fucking apartment for weeks."
He didn't budge, but my bare feet slipped, sending me toward the ground. Impossibly fast, Till's hand snaked out and caught my arm. I didn't let his chivalrous gesture douse my fire. I had six months’ worth of words to say to the man I was irrevocably in love with.
"You took what you wanted. Then you left me."
"Doodle," he whispered.
I had been perilously close to the edge of insanity, and with one single word, he’d pushed me over.
I lost it completely.
Pounding my fists against his chest, I screamed at the top of my lungs, "It's Eliza! My name is fucking Eliza! Not Doodle!" I spun to march away, but Till's arms folded around me, lifting me off my feet to restrain me.
I was miniscule compared to him. There was no use in fighting, but I still kicked my legs, irrationally desperate to get away from him—but only because I knew I couldn't keep him for forever.
"Stop it!" he growled into my ear. "I know your Goddamn name—probably better than I know my own."
~Marlene's Review~
Oh My Goodness… Where to begin?
I’ll start by stating that this was my first book by this author. I am now kicking myself for not reading her work sooner. The writing pulled me right in and held on tight. Reading this story was effortless. Smooth transitions between POV’s, great storyline, engaging characters and a happily ever after that melted my heart. I couldn’t possible ask for anything more than that!
My emotions ran wild throughout this book. The journey made me smile wide, made tear up, and made me giggle out loud. I felt it all! These characters came from nothing and fought their way to a life they could be proud of. The love and dedication they all shared is what made what seemed to be the impossible, become a beautiful reality.
Till Page will forever hold my heart. He loves with a passion, he’s one of the most selfless characters I’ve ever read, and without a doubt one of the most romantic. Till proves that you can be a lover AND a fighter. Let me not leave out the fact that he is sexy as all heck! He has me wanting to leave my window unlocked… just in case.
Eliza is such a strong character. She’s quick witted, patient, and extremely supportive. Her strength was imperative to this story and the support she gave her boys was a driving force. I don’t always love the female lead, but I truly loved Eliza.
Then we have Flint and Quarry. These boys play a huge role in this story. They are just as loyal, protective, and driven as their older brother Till. I am looking forward to reading much more of them in the future.
Fighting silence was simply a beautiful journey that will remain with me for a long time to come. I can’t wait to read the next installment in this series. Until then, I will be patiently waiting by the window….
~Book Blurb~
Sound is an abstract concept for most people. We spend our lives blocking out the static in order to focus on what we believe is important. But what if, when the clarity fades into silence, it's the obscure background noise that you would give anything to hold on to?
I've always been a fighter. With parents who barely managed to stay out of jail and two little brothers who narrowly avoided foster care, I became skilled at dodging the punches life threw at me. Growing up, I didn’t have anything I could call my own, but from the moment I met Eliza Reynolds, she was always mine. I became utterly addicted to her and the escape from reality we provided each other. Throughout the years, she had boyfriends and I had girlfriends, but there wasn't a single night that I didn’t hear her voice.
You see, meeting the love of my life at age thirteen was never part of my plan. However, neither was gradually going deaf at the age of twenty-one.
They both happened anyway.
Now, I'm on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.
Fighting for my career.
Fighting the impending silence.
Fighting for her.
Every night, just before falling asleep, she sighs as a final conscious breath leaves her.
I think that's the sound I'll miss the most.
