Synopsis:
From the acclaimed bestselling author of Lost to You and When We Collide comes a new adult novel of one woman’s obsession: a man who’s as passionate as he is elusive—and as tempting as he is trouble…
Aleena Moore is haunted by Jared Holt. It’s been six years since she’s seen her brother’s best friend, the self-destructive bad boy she secretly loved in high school. As the years pass, she knows it’s time to move on. Time to decide between a practical nursing degree and her true dream as an artist. Time to get over Jared and give another guy a chance…
Just when she opens her heart to her friend Gabe, Aly returns home to find Jared sleeping on her couch. The teenage boy she loved has grown into a man she can’t resist. Covered in tattoos and lost in rage, he’s begging to be saved from his demons—the memories of the day he destroyed his family. As the two reconnect, their passion is hot enough to torch Aly’s judgment. But can she risk her future for a man who lives on the edge of destruction?
Review:
Come to Me Quietly is the first book I have read by A.L. Jackson and I absolutely loved it! The author has written an exquisite story of second chances and the healing power of love. The book switches back and forth between the present and the past and builds up a fantastic sense of foreboding that is sustained throughout the entire story.
Aly and Jared were inseparable as kids until a monumental event occurred that changed their lives forever. Jared has now reunited with Aly and her older brother Christopher but he is the classic tortured bad boy, full of pent-up anger and unresolved feelings. Aly cannot resist Jared and their scenes together are breathtaking. They share a history together, making their relationship all the more deeper and meaningful.
I loved how the pieces of this story were woven together, coming together perfectly at the end into a wonderful conclusion. Come to Me Quietly is a powerful, impeccably written story, filled with tremendous emotion, tenderness and love. A must-read!
