Publisher's Summary

In Kanai’s eyes, love was supposed to be simple.

Quay mirrored the same sentiments, and once they revealed their true feelings for each other, they began to embark on a journey together. Suddenly, something they can’t quite comprehend happens leaving them lost, confused, and most of all saddened by their new reality. Words aren’t spoken, vacancies began to settle in, and resentment occurs, which causes the couple to live with unanswered concerns for years to come. 

Can Kanai and Quay push through the events that rocked their world...or will their love be lost forever?

First, last and forever...

Past: Kanaai and Quay were childhood friends that had feelings for each other. When they finally acted on their feelings, Quay disappeared and was presumed dead, and it broke Kanaai heart. 
Present: 10 years later Kanaai and her family are relocating to Florida for her new job. One night out of fun, Kanaai saw a ghost from her past and didn't know what to do. When Quay confronts Kannai, she drops a bomb on him that sends him reeling. Kanaai is hurt that all these years she thinks that Quay is dead and she wants answers, but Quay got no answers for her. Quay and Kanaai spend time together and the more they do, the more their feelings grow. They rekindle a love they should have had when they were younger, but past hurts, make it hard. Kanaai drove me crazy at times, but I understood where she was coming from, but she should have understood what Quay had to go through. Quay was one helluva of a man, though angry, he turned his situation into something better.  Quay loves Kanaai and all he wanted was her and his... I loved this book, it had me crying, happy, sad, and angry. I loved Quay and Kanaai together and was so excited when they reunited.
Performance: This audible bought this book alive. I enjoyed Jakobi Diem, and he did an excellent job with Quay. Morae Brehon won my heart, she has a new fan.

Highly Recommended!

This book was highly recommended! After the first 30 minutes I was hooked! The twist in the storyline was unexpected and creative! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it will definitely be a repeat listen! Morae & Jakobi did their thing on this!

I had high hopes

I really really wanted to love this book so bad. my first book from this author. from the reviews, word of mouth and popping up in my suggestions I really thought this was going to be it. Sooooo it didn't hit like it was suppose to hit. Narrator's were great as aways and that's what saved this book for me. the writing/storyline was good but it never got great. I was waiting for wow OMG i can't.... what just happened moment but it never came. There was so many missed opportunities for story or character development. If it wasn't for Poppy's character there wouldn't be any action/drama. The storyline is a little far fetch because witness protection program does not work like that but I get it... it's story land you can do what you want. At best this book is a slow burn that never get hot.

Unpopular Opinion- Story wasn't good

All of the reviews saying how great this story was left me feeling like I listened to something else because the story I just spent several hours listening to was just OK at best. The narration was good, but the storyline itself was unrealistic with holes. Like how is this man in Witness Protection but is basically famous? And how did the BIG BAD drug king pin never seek revenge? There were a few chuckle moments in the book, and I guess the ending was sweet, but the sum total of the book is 2.5 stars and that is probably being generous.

I love the entire storyline.

There has to be a book 2. I was truly hoping for more of the storyline. I feel like the ending was rushed all into a bunch of chapters stretched out. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but I feel like there could be more, a lot more. Overall, it was a good book and, I hope to see book 2 soon.

Kanai and Quay

Imagine being young & in love with the girl across the street to be pulled away right as the relationship begins. Then 10yrs later you lock eyes with her! Kanai and Quay have a lot to discuss and sort out but true love conquers all in this coming of age, 2nd chance story.

Love!

My first time listening to a book by this author and I loved the story. Hope there’s a part 2.

A must 📚, not what I expected

Teenage puppy love.... ummmm not so much. Kanai and Quay met and fell head over heels. Quay loved Kanai's natural beauty, even her vitiligo. They had sex one night, the next day everything changed. Quay's father snitched on his best friend, the local drug dealer so they suddenly had to go into witness protection. Poppy, Kanai’s mother heard word on the street that Quay's family was killed for his snitching and Kanai was devastated. In a total depressed state Kanai didn't notice she was pregnant until months later. Time went on and years later she got a job opportunity that moved her and family to Florida. At her orientation she saw a guy who looked exactly like Quay but he had a different name, Mickelson. Mickel was now a famous boxer, that had so much hatred towards his father. Mickel/Quay loved and doted on their daughter Imani. Chileeeee the twist and turns this book took me on. The sex scenes, forgiveness, hatred, arranged relationships, and jealousy, kept me turning the pages. One things for sure, true love never dies. This book is a page turner and must read. 📚 #Book34of2022 #BookWorm #Whatsnext
