Blurb: Living in a divorce situation has never been easy on any of the Russells, but lately Kevin feels like the invisible sibling. Things only get worse when Melena, the only one in his family he can count on, decides to get married and move out of state. So when gorgeous Janessa Blackington shows interest, he's hooked. But dating the wild girl will come at a high price that could cost him his dreams and possibly his life. Is he willing to take that risk just to feel loved? Or could there be something better right under his nose that will only cost him his heart?

Review:

I began reading this with no idea of what I was getting. I was hooked from the very beginning and drawn into the story by the effective way that Ms Mendoza draws characters, sets the scenes and builds the plot. Her dialogue is excellent, very natural and smooth. Her story telling is seamless. As the story developed it didn’t matter to me that it was aimed at young adults. Her writing made it possible for me to identify with the main character despite him being a fourteen year old boy.

Stories with a strong Christian theme can sometimes be ‘preachy’ and moralistic which puts some people off. Ms Mendoza avoids those pitfalls, and weaves in the religious aspects creating a beautiful whole. She writes a story that is a rollercoaster ride, fast in pace and jam packed with action and character development. I found myself gobbling up this book, eager to see where the next page would take me, loving the hero Kevin’s vulnerability and growth as he comes to terms with who he is and finds a partner who is spiritually compatible.

This is an enjoyable read no matter what your age, gender and religious beliefs. I can thoroughly recommend it.
