Blurb
You’ll make it out of here, Brian. I swear.
I had everything—school quarterback, popular with girls, and my dad was proud of me. I told myself it didn’t matter no one knew the real me. And then I nearly died. Landon saved my life. He’s the bravest guy I know. He came out a few years ago, proud and fierce, and he ran into gunfire to help others. Me, I’m a mess. Can’t even stand to be in a room with the curtains open. But here’s the thing about losing it all: You get a chance to start over and be someone new. Only how can I move on when the two shooters who attacked our school were never caught? And why do I feel like I’m still in the crosshairs?
Landon
Will you kiss me?
When I came across Brian Marshall,the hottest guy in school, dying on the cafeteria floor, I did what anyone would do. I tried to save him. His request surprised me, but I figured he needed comfort, so I kissed him on the forehead. When he survived and came back to school, he was broken in body and mind. He still needed me, and soon we were unlikely besties. But what I saw at school that day woke me up. I want to demand action on gun control, lead protests, raise my fist. I’ll tear the world down if I have to. And if I can get the man of my dreams and save the world at the same time? I’ll take it. Only I didn’t understand that the horror at Jefferson Waller High wasn’t over.
My Two Pennies' Worth
Wow, that was intense. And completely different in tone to the last Eli Easton book I read: the fantastic, funny and light-hearted, Robby Riverton: Mail Order Bride.
This was a hard, heartbreaking read. I sobbed my way through a lot of it. I don't often post trigger warnings but I feel they are needed here and I stole the list from Kaje Harper as she summed it up perfectly: gun violence, PTSD, death of children, homophobia, mental health issues.
This is not your normal closeted Jock falls for out and proud gay student. This is a community rocked by tragedy and students plagued with PTSD and a killer still on the lose. It's a story of loss and love and acceptance. As a mother it struck far too close to home even though we don't have the same issues with gun crime in the UK. It left me wreaked but I can't regret reading it because it was amazingly well written and is ultimately a truly beautiful love story with a positive happy ending.

About Eli
Eli has loved romance since her teens and she particular admires writers who can combine literary merit, genuine humor, melting hotness, and eye-dabbing sweetness into one story. She promises to strive to achieve most of that most of the time. She currently lives on a farm in Pennsylvania with her husband, bulldogs, cows, a cat, and lots of groundhogs.
In romance, Eli is best known for her Christmas stories because she’s a total Christmas sap. These include “Blame it on the Mistletoe”, “Unwrapping Hank” and “Merry Christmas, Mr. Miggles”. Her “Howl at the Moon” series of paranormal romances featuring the town of Mad Creek and its dog shifters has been popular with readers. And her series of Amish-themed romances, Men of Lancaster County, has won genre awards.
In 2018 Eli hopes to do more of the same, assuming they reschedule the apocalypse.
