Aleena Moore is haunted by Jared Holt. It’s been six years
since she’s seen her brother’s best friend, the self-destructive bad boy she
secretly loved in high school. As the years pass, she knows it’s time to move
on. Time to decide between a practical nursing degree and her true dream as an
artist. Time to get over Jared and give another guy a chance…
Just when she opens her heart to her friend Gabe,
Aly returns home to find Jared sleeping on her couch. The teenage boy she loved
has grown into a man she can’t resist. Covered in tattoos and lost in rage,
he’s begging to be saved from his demons—the memories of the day he destroyed
his family. As the two reconnect, their passion is hot enough to torch Aly’s
judgment. But can she risk her future for a man who lives on the edge of
destruction?

Aleena has loved Jared most of her life. Jared was her brother Christopher’s best friend. Even growing up Jared did everything he could to try and protect Aleena. Then a terrible accident happens and Jared leaves town, along with heart broken Aleena. She is devastated by his departure. Six years later Jared returns for reasons even unknown to him. Jared doesn’t know why he returned to the town where he lost everything. When he sees Aleena he is instantly attracted to the woman she has grown into. And she is just as attracted to him.
Let me say I LOVE childhood romances. I loved how AL Jackson gave us both POV’s in Come to me Quietly. It really helped me get into Jared’s head. I was so drawing to Jared. I absolutely loved his character. Oh poor Jared. My heart just broke for him. He is in such pain and beleves he doesn’t deserve to be loved because of what happened all those years ago. I was rooting for him to find some peace.
Aleena, I LOVED her character also. She was so in love Jared. Growing up Jared watched over Alenna. It was so cute to read those scenes. Jared did everything he could to protect Aleena growing up. And Aleena loved Jared so much, it was hard for her to move past his leaving. She is a strong, smart, women. And I LOVED the nick name that Jared gave her as kids. Aly Cat so cute.
The way that Jared and Aleena kept my emotions all over the place was GREAT!!! I LOVE feeling the pain and angst of the characters I read about. And this book. WOW I found myself crying, laughing, stunned, heartbroken. This is one of my favorite books I have read this year. This is also the first book I have read from A L Jackson. But man I plan to read many more. Her writing is superb. Storytelling wonderful. I will definitely continue to recommend Come to me Quietly. 5 SUPER SATISFYING STARS!!!!!
