Evie and Leo met in foster care as children and formed a bond of friendship. As they grew, their bond turned to love and they vowed to make a life together when they turned 18 and were no longer a part of the system.

When Leo unexpectedly gets adopted as a teen and he moves to another city, he promises Evie that he will contact her as soon as he gets there and come back for her in a few short years. She never hears from him again.

Now eight years later, in spite of the odds, Evie has made a life for herself. She has a job, she has friends, she's content. Then a man shows up out of the blue, claiming that her long lost love, Leo, sent him to check up on her. The attraction between them is undeniable. But, should she trust this sexy stranger? Or is he keeping a secret about what his connection to Leo is really all about and why Leo disappeared all those years ago?

Book Review

“I'm going to kiss you now, Evie, and when I do, it's going to mean that you're mine. I don't care how far away from each other we are. You. Are. Mine. I'll wait for you. And I want you to wait for me. Promise me you won't let anyone else touch you. Promise me you'll save yourself for me.”-Leo

This book is the love story of Evie and Leo, two kids in foster care. Their story is one of abuse, pain, heart break, and love. On a roof top Leo made Evie a promise to love her forever and come back for her once they were 18. Well as this book starts its eight years later and NO Leo or so we think!! I loved how This book alternated between the past and present. The reader was able to get just enough of evie/Leo's child hood love story to mix with their current one ( good job mrs. Sheridan).

As this book starts out were introduced to evie's character. The life evie has endured as a child of the foster care system is heartbreaking. But how she overcame her circumstances and wasnt a victim to the system like so many she knew was remarkable. I Love a STRONG WOMAN. Evie's life is good,she has great friends, a good job and a place of her own. But she doesnt have the love of her life, leo.

Well eight years later since the roof top promise, evie has a Stalker who turns out to be Leo's friend jake. Jake is all alpha male with the rich boy charm to go along with it. You know how you sometimes get that creepy feeling you know someone but cant quite place it,well keep that in mind as you read this book. Jake delivers the message to evie that Leo died but he asked him to check on her to make sure things were ok. Well messaged delivered, job over right? Nope. Jake has other plans, he wants Evie to be his. There is no mistaking the chemistry between these two from their first meeting.

As this book continues to play out. The feelings between Evie and jake become stronger. Evie finds herself opening up and trusting jake completely. But jake doesn't reciprocate this....why?? Oh boy there are always secrets....the twist, turns and mystery this book took toward the end made the book that much better. It kept me on my toes. There is so much more I could say about this book but for the sake of not giving the MYSTERY away I'm stopping here.

I loved this book. This was Mrs. Sheridan's debut novel and a great start to the series. I loved jake and evie's characters. My favorite part of this book was evie's stories. Storytelling was a outlet for her and the others around her. In a dark and cruel world it gave them light as well as hope. It's amazing the power of a story! Ill end with one of my favorite story's evie told.

“We are both silent for several minutes but eventually, I roll onto my back and say, "There was once a very beautiful woman, and although she had the face of an angel, she was hollow on the inside. Right in the place where her heart should have been located, there was just a big, gaping hole. Because of this defect, an ogre was able to court her and she married him; he was as ugly on the inside as he was on the outside."

"One day the woman needed to get away from the ogre because his ugly personality and his ugly face became too much for her to bear, and as it turned out, even hollow people can only take so much ugliness."

"She walked and walked until she came upon a quiet meadow and she lay down in the middle of that meadow, soaking in the stillness of the night. What she didn't know was that there was a great beast lurking nearby; A massive lion, with a mane of gold and the thunderous roar of a hundred lions."

“As the beautiful but hollow woman lay in the field, this beast approached her quietly and when she opened her eyes and spied him, she was spellbound because the sight of him was like nothing she had ever seen. He held the woman down with one massive paw, although, strangely, she wasn't scared, only curious. When dawn broke, the beauty awoke and thought that the night before had been only a dream. But the woman was now carrying a child, a son. And this beautiful boy would have the gifts of both his parents, the beauty of his mother and the heart of his father, the heart of a lion.” --Evie

Again Mrs. Sheridan great job on your debut novel. You took imagination and story telling to a whole new level!

Book rating: A/4.5 stars

WARNING, INTERVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS - DON'T READ IF YOU ARE
PLANNING ON READING LEO**

Hi Leo and thanks for stopping by to join us today. If you feel me
ogling you at any time during this interview don't be alarmed it's
normal! I mean hey what can I say you''re hot!!! Ok let's let the
readers get to know Leo a little.


1. Can you please give us a little introduction about yourself?
First off, thanks for the
compliment. Hey, I'm Leo. I guess I'd say I'm just an ordinary guy who
had some extraordinary things happen to me - both good and bad. Out of
the bad came the good which is that I met my soul mate when I was 11
years old and through some miracle, she's my wife now. I'd go
through it all a hundred times over to be where I am today.

2. When did you first realize you loved evie?
It feels like I've loved Evie all my life. But we actually
met when she was ten and I was 11. Not everyone believes in love at
first sight, but I took one look at her and knew that she was gentle
and kind... and that she had the prettiest face I'd ever seen. I was a
goner from that day forward.

3. If Leo was made into a movie who would you cast as characters? And
no you can't cast yourself...
Oh wow, okay, Evie is easy. There's this actress named Nina
Dobrev and it's almost uncanny how much Evie looks like her. Only, you
know, Evie is even more beautiful but I guess I'm biased. Me?
I'm not qualified to cast myself... I'll leave that up to you,
Melannie.

4. If you had three words to describe Evie what would they be?
That's easy. Generous, loving, and beautiful.

5. What is the most precious thing in your life?
My wife and my sons. My family. I love saying that - my family.

6. What song best describes your relationship with evie?
Edwin McCain's, "I'll Be." The lyrics are perfect for us. That's the
song we danced to at our wedding.

7. What can readers expect next from you?
Well, Evie told her side of our story, and now it's my turn. I went
through some intense stuff to finally be in a place to come back to
Evie and I hope readers will enjoy getting into my head. It's
not always a pretty place to be... sometimes chaos reigns but I'd like
to think it's always interesting.

Ok now it's quick draw time....

1. Favorite book? Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand - a great story about survival.
2. Favorite wine? Evie and I love wines from Australia where we went
on our honeymoon. They have some amazing reds.
3. Favorite position? As long as my wife's involved, any of
them are incredible.
4. Vanilla or kinky? Yes.
5. Favorite quote? "Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look
at both, before we commit ourselves to either." -Aesop
