BY: JAIME RUSSELL
RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 5TH
Abigail “Abby” Stephens grew up knowing her role. She would
always be the ugly duckling or someone’s dirty little secret. She hides behind
her computer screen playing her game. No one knew what she looked like just how
she played. Abby felt safe, secure and content on living this life, until him.
Cash Hawthorne was given the family business when his
parents were killed in a car accident. With the help of his sister, they run a
successful hotel which is the premiere spot for weddings. Cash knew that
marriage was not in the cards so he had the mentality of “Those who can, do and
those who can’t, teach,” that was until he met the one girl who broke through
his walls.
Can Cash be the one to show her how beautiful and sexy she
is?
Can Abby be the one to show him what happens when love finds
you?
Will they be able to overcome her abusive father and his
controlling sister?
Come along on this adventure with Abby, Cash and their band
of misfits!
Nikki's 4 Star Review
I really enjoyed this book it was fast flowing and I had finished it in just a few hours it hooked me straight away. The characters were easy to relate too and and your heart will just break for Abby.
Abby definitely didn't have it easy growing up suffering abuse at the hands of her father and throughout it all she kept it to herself, she was brought up been told she was fat, ugly and that no one would ever want to love her this had a major effect on her self-esteem. She had a close knit circle of friends and also turned to on-line gaming it was a way of making friends and she could really be herself because she would never actually meet them or would she.
Cash Hawthorn along with his sister Sally runs his family's hotel in Florida after their parents were killed in a car accident. Cash turned to the bottle as a way to cope after their death his friend Shawn got him into on-line gamig as a different way to cope.
When Abby and Cash start to become friendly through gaming and then become to know each other on a more personal level texting and calling each other are they just what each other need to help them heal and become the people they deserve to be.
Tissues will be required when reading this book and I'll definitely be looking out for more books from Jamie Russell.

“Why don’t we do something tomorrow night? Saturday night is
a good night to party and since we are in our 30s, we will all be home by 11.”
I said that last part laughing and Rob joined in with me.
“So true so true baby girl. Now spill why you had a smile on
your face walking into your classroom and I get here, the smile is faded and
you had this look of panic on your face.”
“You saw that did you?” He just nodded and waited for me to
continue. “I met this guy online in the gaming community. We have known each
other for a year but more on a personal level the last few months. We have been
emailing, Skyping, and text messaging each other a lot.”
“I see a but coming on or more to the story.”
“There is a but and a huge one at that! We started calling
on the phone when we are on breaks from work and at night. We just told one
another that we like each other.”
“Has Abby decided to start dating? Oh, this is cause for
celebration.” Rob clapped his hands in excitement. He knows the hell I went
through with all of the boys that I have been with and knows the toll it took
on me.
“He lives in Florida and he doesn’t know what I look like.
What if he doesn’t like what he sees? What if he wants to make me his dirty
little secret? What if I like him a lot and he breaks my heart?” I had tears
coming down my face.
“I felt that same way when I met Aaron. We met online in the
same gaming community that you met Cash. I was terrified that he wouldn’t love
me, break my heart, or even not feel the same way. I got over that in a hurry
because we all need to take a leap of faith in the love department.” Aaron stood about 5'11 and wasn't as muscular
as Rob but he was well built. He had brown hair, hazel eyes, and a beard. I
wasn't a fan of beards but my God he made it look sexy. He was a doctor, an OB
GYN. He had funny stories about how his female patients would flirt with and
ask him out on dates but when they saw Rob coming around and he told them that
he was in a relationship with him, they were heartbroken. They were not upset
about his lifestyle but the fact that he wouldn't date them. Rob was doing well
for himself.
“I am just an overweight girl who doesn’t deserve love and
is always going to be someone’s dirty little secret.”
Rob slammed his hand onto the table making me jump. “Why is
it that you listen to all the people who are not worthy of you and ignore those
who love you the most?”
“It is easier to listen to the negative than the positive.
The people who love me most will always say what I want to hear not what is
true. Do you think I like being this way? Do you think I like doubting every
man who comes into my life? Do you think I don’t want the husband, children,
and know the feeling of what true love is? Until you have been subjected to
this way of thinking all your life, don’t get mad at me for feeling like this,
Rob.”
“Honey, I am not mad at you but just disappointed. You are
so beautiful and sexy that any man,” I went to open my mouth to say something
and he held up his hand, “who is deserving of you. I wish you could see it.
When you meet the man who is worthy of you, he will show you and you will
believe it. I think you should keep getting to know Cash and see where things
go. Keep an open mind. If all else fails, think “What would Rob say?” I am very
wise, just so you know.
I laughed, “Wise huh, maybe a wise-ass.” He feigned shock by
my words.
