Kathleen Maree

"Kathleen Maree delivers another emotional punch with the Lakeshore University saga that leaves our hearts a tangled mess for these three amazing characters and has us begging for so much more " - Rochelle's Reviews "Omg this book, this series is going to be the death of me, but I love it... I didn't want it to end" - ObsessedbyBooks 'It's as easy as following your heart, ' they say. 'Just listen to it, and let it guide you.' It's so simple isn't it? Even if half belongs to one best friend, and the other half literally beats for the other... It doesn't matter how much time passes or how angry I am at the world, because I know without a doubt that I needed both of them. More than I needed to breathe.

A nerd. A quiet art student. A nobody. Or perhaps, just some girl. These were the non-spoken titles I've been known as since I started at Lake Shore Uni almost two years ago now. When given the chance to leave my horrific childhood behind - I didn't hesitate. In fact, I was ecstatic to have the door hit me on the ass on my way out of town; because the only two things I actually loved in my traumatic life... Were coming with me. And whilst the three of us shared the same beat-up truck when we moved here - that's where the similarities unfortunately end. Ethan 'The Mule' Jones, is kind of a super star on campus. Everywhere he goes he seems to draw attention. I guess that's what happens when you're headlining papers as the star basketballer for the LS Eagles. But to me, he's just Eth. A boy who still spends his Friday nights snuggled up watching movies with me, and who walks me to classes just to make sure I get there okay. He is my best friend in every way, and I can't imagine my life without him in it. And then there's Jase. The truth is I knew from the moment I met Jase at the local skate park, when he was smoking a cigarette and teasing Eth for his poor skating ability, of how fiercely protective he was of those he cared for. From the time he blew his warm breath over my injured knee, to when he thankfully intervened on the most horrific day of my life. A day, that still haunts me when I am alone in the dark. He saved me. But Jase has his own demons too. Even if he doesn't go looking for it, trouble always seems to find him. Which is why he has been absent from our lives for the past two years. Sometimes I wonder what he's doing. Quite often I worry if he's okay. And I always, always, think about him. Even though I shouldn't.
