Excerpt
“I shouldn’t be
here,” I mutter under my breath.
“Like in this town
or here in the kitchen with me?” She quirks her head to the side and crosses
her arms over her chest. It’s defensive, but not, at the same time. More likely
a precautionary arm cross.
“Both.”
“Do you not like
me? I know I can talk a lot, and I’m trying hard to be positive in this awkward
situation. Sometimes it’s just one comment too much that can set someone off.
I’m sure you can tell, but I’m normally really upbeat and positive.” She nods
like a hundred times.
“Why?”
“Anything can
happen at anytime, so you have to live every day like it’s your last. That guy
just pisses me off.” She shakes her head, dragging in a loud breath.
“Listen, I’m not
begging you to like me,” she says as she slams the refrigerator door shut.
“It’s just that you’re new around here, and I saw you as a clean slate. I just
want to be friends, so if you have a girlfriend, that’s fine.” She steps
forward and grabs my forearm. I stare down at where our bare flesh connects.
“Seriously, I’m not a relationship person. I don’t believe in relationships,
but I do respect them. I’d never step on another girl’s toes. I just want to be
friends.”
“I’m leaving the
second my car is fixed.” My words ring with finality. Her hand falls from me as
she steps backwards towards the fridge like I slapped her.
Review by Gia:
I read A Reliant Love and was like OMG it can't end like that. I was so excited to see we would get more Sam in Finding Sam. You should read A Reliant Love before jumping into Finding Sam.
I absolutely love Sam. He's a tortured soul type of character. He weaved his way into my heart and I couldn't help but hope he got a happy ending. If there was one character I could jump through the pages and give a hug too, it would be Sam. Sam is in pain from lost and feels that he is cursed. He leaves and that's where his journey begins. It's a great story. It had me hooked from the first page. If you read the first one you are definitely goign to want to read this one.

A Reliant Love
Nathalie Carter wants one thing: independence. She has paid her dues by living at home under her parents’ watchful eyes, earning grades to give her a ticket out and joining clubs she had no interest in to get into college.
She plans to experience things she believes every new adult should—from falling in love to playing beer pong and pulling an all-nighter to skipping class because she’s too hungover. But nothing ever seems to go as planned, and she gets pulled into a world she never imagined existed.
Samuel Torrington’s past refuses to release him from its vise-like grip; but he has a plan, and once his senior year of college is over, he can finally move away and start anew. His addictions help him get through day-to-day life, but he’s constantly battling darker demons.
Fate brings the two together, and chance takes them on a roller coaster ride that neither would dare hop off. Within destiny’s grasp, they realize there are two things impossible to fight—addiction and attraction.
