Ever feel like you’re being watched?
It’s an awareness so familiar I adapted to it long ago.
Then I enrolled at Westbrook University to chase my dream
and make up for someone else’s lost one.
The prying eyes I’d known almost since birth…
They closed.
Even still, I never got too close.
I made friends with everyone but confided in no one.
My dates were carefully chosen,
meaning I went out with guys I didn’t really like.
And then I was attacked.
I slept in Jamie’s bed while he stayed near me on the floor.
He gave me his number, told me to call.
Oh, I wanted to call. But I didn’t.
Now those invisible, observant eyes that always seemed familiar have returned.
But this time? They chill me to the bone.
Someone is watching. Lurking.
And it’s only a matter of time until whoever is out there does more than stare.
The only place I feel truly safe is wrapped in the massive wingspan of an Elite swimmer.
The very man I know I need to avoid.
But as shit goes down, it becomes clear I’m going to have to surrender something…
My heart or my life.Please note that Wingspan contains mentions of domestic abuse and suicide. There is also present danger and stalking. These situations may be triggering for some readers.
Wingspan is book two in the Westbrooke Elite series, but y0u could read it as a stand alone (however, book 1, Wet, was fabulous and a must read).
Like Wet, this book deals with some heavy topics including sexual assault and suicide. But, I think the characters are well written and the topics are handled with appropriate respect. Also, these are real issues that new adults are dealing with so I appreciate when books reflect that. Jamie, the hero, is a perfect hero. He is supportive without being smothering, kind, and understanding. He falls hard for Madison and isn’t afraid to show her, but he also understands she is dealing with heavy stuff. Madison is carrying so much. As a reader, you really empathize with her. I just wanted her to open up and let her friends and Jamie carry some of her burden.
Wingspan brought all the big feels that Wet did and it also delivers steamy romance too! Its a win/win in my book!
