Synopsis:

This is her chance for a new beginning, but secrets start being revealed and Taryn learns her new life has some ties to her old one, ties that she's not happy about. Her new family might not have been the lucky break she thought she had.
 
 
 
 
Excerpt
I hit the punching bag. They lied to me. It barely moved so I hit it again. They didn’t care that they lied. I gritted my teeth. My fist tightened and I rolled my shoulder back, lifted my wrist again, and bent forward into the stance. One foot was in front, the other behind, and I was on my toes. I was ready to switch them, jab back and forth, and bounce back as the bag should’ve been swinging to me.
Nothing.
With a deep growl, I hit it as hard as I could. It moved an inch.
“You’re using your arm.”
“Duh.” I didn’t look as Tray came into the room. He left the lights off, and the only light on was the small lamp positioned over the punching bag. Sweat rolled down my back and I’d lost my shirt long ago. Standing in my black sports bra and a pair of boy shorts, I felt fine. I was heated, but not overheated with the air conditioner in the room.
He circled around. I glanced down, saw he had kicked his shoes off as well. After another moment of studying me, he took his shirt off too. He tossed it to the corner, then tilted his head to the side, and his hazel eyes narrowed at me. A slight smirk lifted the corners of his lips. As he stood there, his muscles clenched. His chest lifted and he breathed in, his stomach muscles clenched in and then out. There was hardly an ounce of fat on him.
We’d been sharing a bed for two months now, but as I drank him in, it was as if I was seeing him for the first time. Hunger and lust slammed into me. My mouth opened and I swallowed. Where the hell had this come from?
His smirk widened and he gestured to my arm. “Use your shoulder. Hit with your body, not your arm. Your strength comes from your core. The hand is the weapon.”
“I want to bone you right now.” I frowned. “Why?”
“Because you’re working out. Because your adrenalin is pumping.” His hand gestured from his chest to his stomach. “Because I’m a prime specimen.”
I snorted. “You don’t need to work on that confidence. Your arrogance just sucked all the oxygen out of the room to inflate your ego.”


Review

5 STARS

I seriously cant imagine how Tijan comes up with these wonderful pieces of work. She just keeps getting BETTER and BETTER every book. It amazes me how talented she is.

AWNC was just beyond fabulous. I connected with Taryan so much she was one BADASS chick. I really felt so many emotions for her and with her. Tijan makes you feel like you are walking right next to the characters. Her writing stile in so unique, and when I read her book I can not put them down. I have have read every single one of her books in one sitting and AWNC was no different.
I didn't even get up to pee.

Taryan went thru hell and back. I had actually read AWNC when Tijan first posted it I think on smashwords I dunno I cant remember where she posted it exactly. Than it was a great story but damn you Tijan you made this story one hell of a ride and I could not put it down for the life of me!

Taryan thinks she is changing her life style and making a new path for herself, but was she soo freaking WRONG. Taryan is  blindsided with what she finds out about her old life and her new. The world is so small and it amazing how it is all connected together. It was AMAZING. I loved it so much.
Kept me on the edge of my seat I wanted to smack Taryan at time and others I wanted to hug her and tell her it was going to be ok. Tijan please don't ever stop writing you are amazing and get me sucked in every time! LOVED THIS BOOK!!
