BUT! I FINALLY found something! And it's something I started to read quite a while ago. I never finished it. I suppose at the time, I wasn't ready for what I thought was going to be a major love triangle. See, the blurb? It says:"He saw her first, but his friend made the move.
She settled for the safer choice, but her heart knew the truth.
They love, they crave, they lie.
Garrett McCarthy, Annabelle Parker, and Milo Roberts were as close as friends could get. They shared in each other's joy during graduations, promotions, and engagements. They consoled one another through heartache and loss.
When one of the friend's life is tragically cut short, it's up to the two left behind to pick up the pieces and find out the truth - no matter the cost. As they slowly start to uncover the nature of his deception, and the very powerful people behind it, they begin to question everyone and everything, even themselves.
Everyone has secrets - some do it for love while others do it for power. Those secrets can change perceptions, alter reality and sometimes destroy lives.
What do you do when you find out your whole life has been a lie?"
What's so bad about this, you ask? For one, this is why I didn't finish the book the first time around. Second, It's so wrong! Okay, so technically, everything stated in it is true. BUT! It doesn't some pretty freakin' important parts. Like, Oh I don't know, How the guys are Bad Ass Navy SEALs!!! Oh, and how Parker's a Bad Ass CIA Special Ops chick!!! Now do you see why I'm pissed? I was so damn wrong about it! It's even better that I imagined.
Hehe.
So, we know something super bad happens, and the three become two. But how did it all begin?
Garrett and Milo have been best friends since they were nine years old. They do everything together. Annabelle Parker has no one. Her mother dies, and her father hates the sight of her. **poor girl**
A chance meeting changes everything. Garrett and Parker had a connection from the very beginning, but because of her past, Parker refuses to love anyone so much that it consumes her. So she stays with Milo. He's safe.
When he passes, Parker and Garret need to find out if it really was an accident. Secrets they held from one another will be revealed, and their friendship will be tested.
**Sighs** It was intense, that's for sure.
The twists in this, they were awesome! You sorta think you might know what is about to happen, and you're sorta right. As in, maybe like, 10% right.
I really don't want to reveal too much, because this one is the type that you need to go into without much information. Trust me on this one.
A solid 4.5 stars. The writing was great, it flowed nicely and the story line in general was pretty damn amazing! The author definitely ticked all the right boxes and raised the bar for other books in this genre!
