Come to Me Quietly by A.L. Jackson
4.0
*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review
I'm a HUGE A.L. Jackson fan. I can honestly say she's one of my favorite authors. Her books have made me ugly-cry more than once and I LOVED it!! So, I was obviously going to read Come To Me Quietly as soon as possible.
This time around we meet Aleena & Jared. They grew up together along with her brother, Christopher. Aleena has had feelings for him since she was around the age of fourteen. Now, six years later, Jared comes crashing back into her life. I loved Jared. He feels guilt, hate, pain and lots, lots of anger; all aimed at himself. He doesn't feel worthy of Aleena and doesn't want to end up hurting her.I just wanted to grab him and give him a big hug. He broke my heart.
Their relationship slowly grew throughout the book. From him protecting her and caring for her when they were kids, to something more as adults. With the dual point of view and flashbacks, we get to see what each is thinking and feeling; not only in the present, but also as kids.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It had some things that I enjoy like the bad boy hero and a girl that tries to save him. The writing itself is amazing and I cannot wait for book two!
