Throughout the story, we kept reading, I held his gaze for 2 seconds. I looked at her for 3 seconds. I stared at her / him for 30 seconds and looked away. I stood next to him / her for 30 seconds, time seemed to stand still. It seemed like we read that every few pages.  

I did receive a free ARC Copy of this book from the Author Amy Briggs. I am freely leaving a honest book review. 

Pages: 478
