Publisher Description
I watched him in high school. Knew his reputation. Knew he was wealthy, privileged, and mean.
He ran the show back then, a partier and a player.
Then he came back from college, back to the town I never left. He's different now.
He comes into the bar, and I know his routine.
I know which stool he'll pick.
I know his favorite drink. I know which sports team he'll want on the television screen.
And I watch as he gets hit on.
Sometimes he leaves the bar with a woman. Sometimes he doesn't.
But I'm always there, tending to his drinks. He gives me a smile and a polite nod back.
Then one night, after a long appraising stare, he asked, "Ava, why are you single?"
I leaned in, told him a lie, knowing the truth.
What I didn't know was that my world was about to shatter after that night.
Something else I didn't know: would the man I watched all those years help put my heart back together... or smash it into pieces?
** A 42k novella written as a standalone from two characters in the Fallen Crest/Roussou universe.

Strange
The book started of good, with a down-on-her-luck-girl, and a privileged-good-looking-jerk (who may not be so much of a jerk anymore).
But after they start hooking up, the girl becomes lost in it. And the book does too. The story revolves mostly on the next hook up which makes the storyline not progress. It goes in a circle: hook up. He wants to take care of her. She says no. But let’s him anyway. They hook up. He is rude to others. She’s mad. They make up. And repeat.
It does have a potential to become a great book, and I do like the characters. But yeah, too repetitive (like this review 😅)
