For the longest time, half of me was missin; Then you walked into my life with your beautiful smile and unbreakable will, and the hole was gone.

THE OCEAN BETWEEN US:

A full length, Southern Heroes Romance Novel by Michelle Heard. Spoken in ‘Dual Perspectives’ In this we meet Aiden and Emma.

We’re first introduced to Emma who literally lives her life in fear, within a gilded cage of her mothers making, an alcoholic that rules Emma with a forked tongue and a stepfather who turns a blind eye on the goings on in the household.

Babes. You're going to fail. You can't go around wasting your time on things like friends, and those pathetic books you read.

Emma has all but given up on humanity, closed herself off to human contact, her only constant in her life is her best friend who helps her get a passport and a study visa for six months, and aides her to escape the toxic claws of her mother.

Life has taught me that the people who are supposed to protect you are the ones who will hurt you the most.

It doesn't take long for Emma to reach breaking point, like a thief in the night she runs, crossing an ocean from Africa to America to experience life.

Emma is well over her head in America, she's smack center in a whole new lifestyle, new dangers have a way of sucking her into its orbit, thinking she was escaping the worst that had happened to her under her mother's ruling thumb has her reeling from the darker side of what can happen to unsuspecting females in America.

Aiden is shrouded in secrets, he's not all he seems, a student attending the same school as her, a fierce attraction occurs instantly between these two, he tries everything in his power to keep her safe, to protect her.

I've never had such a strong reaction to a woman before. The second I laid eyes on her I knew my life was about to change.

This was one of my highly most anticipated books for September, be it the cover, the author, the synopsis I was wanting to read this in a heartbeat. And in a heartbeat I did. I devoured this, sleep is only for the dead, I read this in record time, couldn't out it down. didn't want to put it down. Just when I thought this was going to be a sugary sweet read a total game changer is thrown into the storyline and like the suck puppy I am from that point onwards life outside this book ceased to exist.
