So when fate drops a leather-bound journal at my feet, I know I should walk away.I don't. I pick her up, bend her spine, spread her pages. From the first word, I'm a goner.

And from that point forward, I drink, eat, and sleep her.

I'm not his to look at, to inspire, to touch, but when he watches me through his lens, it gives me a high I don't want to come down from...My journal is the one place I can be myself-as long as I can tie it up and put it away when I'm finished. But when Finn undoes the bow, he pulls strings that could unravel each of us.Yours to Bare can be read as a standalone or as book three in the Slip of the Tongue series.</p>

Somebody Else’s Sky (Book 2)- by Jessica Hawkins: Book Review
A better man would’ve walked away by now—but I never claimed to be any good. I only promised I’d keep enough distance.
If I closed my eyes, I could still see her—all blonde sunshine, ocean-blue eyes, and long limbs. My scenery may have changed from heaven to hell, but some things never would. Lake was still everything I wanted, and nothing I should ever have. I was nobody before I knew her and a criminal after.
But the only way to love her was to let her shine—even if it would be for someone else. Book two in a completed USA Today bestselling love saga.
Something in the Way - Jessica Hawkins
It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. He was older, darker, experienced. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. Yet we saw something in each other that would link us in ways that couldn't be broken...no matter how hard we tried.
I loved Manning before I knew the meaning of the word. I was too young, he said. I would wait. Through all the carefully-chosen words hiding what we knew to be true, his struggle to keep me innocent, and infinitely-starry nights—I would wait. But I'd learn that no matter what you achieve in life, it means nothing if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn't matter. My older sister saw him next.
