My Thoughts
Love is or it ain't.
Thin love ain't love at all.
- Toni Morrison
Beloved
Keira was a serious student who wanted nothing more than to escape the pain dished out by her mother. Kona was a football playing big man on campus with a man whore reputation. Keira hated him and made that very clear, but Kona wanted her and wasn't going to give up chasing her. When she finally gave into her heart, these two were explosive together. Both in and out of the bedroom. Unfortunately Kona makes a very wrong decision which brings great loss and instead of standing with Keira, he pushes her away in such a cruel way. Keira leaves school and begins a life without him, but takes part of him with her.
16 years later when Keira goes home to bury her mother and take care of her affairs, Kona comes back into her life. She had built walls around her heart and can't let him back in because she might not survive him again. Kona wants her in his life, but hasn't faced the truth hidden within all the lies in their past. Those lies come to light in an unexpected way which leads him to that point of making a decision again that could make forever possible.
I can't even tell you how much I love this book. Eden managed to grab hold of my heart with this couple and didn't let go until the very last page. Keira went through so much between her mother, Kona, and his mother. Don't even get me started on Kona's momma. I wanted to throttle her. I wanted to give Kona a good shake or two as well. Keira didn't let her mother snuff out her passion and the ability to love. And when Kona finally took a stand...
I give Thin Love 5 hearts!
About the Book
Love isn't supposed to be an addiction. It isn't supposed to leave you bleeding.
Kona pushed, Keira pulled, and in their wake, they left behind destruction.
She sacrificed everything for him.
It wasn't enough.
But the wounds of the past can never be completely forgotten and still the flame remains, slumbers between the pleasure of yesterday and the thought of what might have been.
Now, sixteen years later, Keira returns home to bury the mother who betrayed her, just as Kona tries to hold onto what remains of his NFL career with the New Orleans Steamers. Across the crowded bustle of a busy French Market, their paths collide, conjuring forgotten memories of a consuming touch, skin on skin, and the still smoldering fire that begs to be rekindled.
When Kona realizes the trifecta of betrayal—his, Keira's and those lies told to keep them apart—his life is irrevocably changed and he once again takes Keira down with him into the fire that threatens to ignite them both.
