Synopsis:
Jesse Dawson is a typical seventeen year old girl. She goes to school, gets good grades, and like any other kid, just wants to fit in, blend in and survive high school. She doesn’t talk about all the crap she has to deal with. Her mom in the hospital and a step-dad from hell. Rave Black sweeps into her life in the middle of the school year. He’s a dark loner. The quiet kid, and fascinates Jesse. She should stay away from him, but a budding friendship slips into a bond neither of them can deny. Rumors spread even as they share their secrets with each other. Can Rave help Jesse learn to open up and trust, or will his personal demons consume them both?
Angie J's Review:
I received this book from the author for
an honest review......and yeah yeah yeah I kinda love this author too :)
This book is an amazing set up for the
next installments that will be out. Jesse is a troubled girl. Her
mom is not available and her step dad doesnt really like or....or (EWWWW) does
he???? She is a misfit and is teased constantly by the school bullies
known and the Triple M's. They make high school awful for her. Her
only friend is nerdy Jake. He has been there for her the past year.
He has been her only comfort in this miserable year. Then one day
in walks Rave. He is tall, dark and handsome AND he totally SEES
Jessee.
The two meet by accident and seem to
connect thru music. They also can relax a bit in each other’s
company. Jesse feels for Rave and that FA-REAKS her out!! She
pushes but Rave won’t let her push too hard. Jake is all of a sudden not
a happy camper and makes waves to Jesse. Anyway, Jesse and Rave find some
common ground and even a few stolen kisses.
The end of the novella had me
screaming...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I need more. All of a sudden I wanted Rave
and Jesse to go all Heather like (the 90's movie ya know) and kill
everyone...lol.....anywho, I can't wait for more of this series.
Brenda's Review --
I was so excited to get this from
Jo-Anna!! Now I can't wait for the rest! This story will draw you
in and want to go back to your high school days and live there with them.
I would totally do it, this time my high school days would be without the
big 80s hair and pink high-top Reboks though!
You immediately get your defenses up with
the bullying that Jesse receives! You wanna punch those Triple M's!!
ugh!! but then in walks the "new boy" that everyone has labeled
as the "bad boy". Jesse is attracted to him but there's no way
he would notice her, let alone be attracted to her! Well I believe that
Rave is just a good guy in bad guy label! He's an alpha in training!
He wants to protect Jesse and help her.....save her!!
You will be sad when the first part
ends.....and you'll be hollering at Jo-Anna (just like I did) to get part 2
out!!! She's working on it though!!!
Favorite Quotes:
A small smile splayed on his lips. He
reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, sending shivers down my
back.
"You relax me." Sigh
“I love the way you
make me feel.”
About The Author:
I'm a new self-published author who just got introduced to
the writing world early 2013. My aunt suggested that I write a story because
I'm an avid reader but I waved it off and left it alone. Well this year, a
story came to me and I went with it. It took me a little bit but I finally got
a story idea that worked and now I can't stop or control the characters/stories
that keep popping up in my head.
I'm born and raised in Canada and I live with my very wonderful and supportive husband, Michael. We don't have any children (yet) unless you count our two cats. He's been my rock through this whole new experience for me. I couldn't have done it without him and my friends and family.
One of the many things I love about this new chapter in my life is that I'm learning constantly. It's never a dull moment and as long as one person likes my story, I am happy.
