Debut novel Shelter Me by Author Kathy Coopmans
Synopsis:
At the young age of nineteen, Shayne Andrews thought she had it all. She had the love of her life, her high school sweetheart, and a bright future ahead of
her. That is, until one day he just disappeared, leaving a note as his only goodbye. With her heart shattered and broken, Shayne did the only thing she
could. She left her small town on the shores of Lake Michigan to start her life over, needing to distance herself from the memories she and Luke had made.
At that time, she vowed to herself that she would never return to her hometown again. Seven years later, Shayne realizes that fate is not on her side as
she returns home for her aunt’s funeral, bringing back the one secret she swore to protect.
Luke Schavone has regretted every day that he had to leave Shayne behind. Though he didn’t have a choice, his heart still bore the scars from the impact.
After five years, Luke returned only to find that Shayne was gone. His best friend was the only lifeline he had to finding her, but Adam wasn’t talking.
When the one thing Luke has wanted everyday for the past seven years runs right into him one night, he becomes determined to make sure he doesn’t lose her
again.
At first, Shayne is hesitant. She wouldn’t be able to survive losing him again, but the pull toward him is so fierce, she can’t deny herself the chance.
With the decision to start over, Luke and Shayne must admit truths and come to terms with the events that forced them apart in the first place. When
secrets are revealed and old threats come to pass, will Luke be able to shelter Shayne from the destruction, or will she become lost to him forever?
Excerpt:
"Baby, I never thought I would get to taste those sweet, sexy, seriously fuckable lips again."
"Fuckable? I ask, "What happened to us starting over?"
Luke
brings his mouth to my ear. "I said I wanted us to start over, and I
meant it. Doesn't mean I don't remember everything that happened between
us, my beautiful girl. Especially involving those fuckable lips," he
whispers, a glint of mischief in his eyes.
"Oh, is all I can get my mouth to say.

Review by Gia:
Shelter Me is Kathy Coopmans debut novel. With an author's first novel you never know what to expect because you don't have a previous book or a ton of review to use to decide whether or not to read the book. It kind of like you take a gamble that you are going to like to book based on the synopsis. With Shelter Me that gamble paid off. Shelter Me is a great well written story.
It pulls you in right from the beginning. The characters are written so well that their emotions just come right off the page for the reader. I loved Shayne, her cousin Adam, and Luke. Shayne and Luke have such great chemistry. Both have some secret that they don't come out with right away. We know what Shayne's secret pretty quickly into the story. Luke keeps some information about why he left her seven before from her. But like all secrets they come out eventually.
I know some readers tend to stay away from books in a series until the series in complete. Don't let the fact that Shelter Me is book one in the Shelter Me series keep you from reading it. There is no cliffhanger. Shelter Me is Luke and Shayne's story. Towards the end it took a turn that I never expected but everything is tied up well in the end and there is an epilogue that brings you into the future so you can see how thing turned out. Book two is the series is going to be Erin and Adam's story. You'll met Erin and Adam when you read Shelter Me.
