~ Synopsis ~
At the young age of nineteen, Shayne Andrews thought she had it all. She had the love of her life, her high school sweetheart, and a bright future ahead of her. That is, until one day he just disappeared, leaving a note as his only goodbye. With her heart shattered and broken, Shayne did the only thing she could. She left her small town on the shores of Lake Michigan to start her life over, needing to distance herself from the memories she and Luke had made. At that time, she vowed to herself that she would never return to her hometown again. Seven years later, Shayne realizes that fate is not on her side as she returns home for her aunt’s funeral, bringing back the one secret she swore to protect.
Luke Schavone has regretted every day that he had to leave Shayne behind. Though he didn’t have a choice, his heart still bore the scars from the impact. After five years, Luke returned only to find that Shayne was gone. His best friend was the only lifeline he had to finding her, but Adam wasn’t talking. When the one thing Luke has wanted everyday for the past seven years runs right into him one night, he becomes determined to make sure he doesn’t lose her again.
At first, Shayne is hesitant. She wouldn’t be able to survive losing him again, but the pull toward him is so fierce, she can’t deny herself the chance. With the decision to start over, Luke and Shayne must admit truths and come to terms with the events that forced them apart in the first place. When secrets are revealed and old threats come to pass, will Luke be able to shelter Shayne from the destruction, or will she become lost to him forever?
~ Excerpt ~
"Baby, I
never thought I would get to taste those sweet, sexy, seriously fuckable lips
again."
"Fuckable?
I ask, "What happened to us starting over?"
Luke brings his mouth to my ear. "I said
I wanted us to start over, and I meant it. Doesn't mean I don't remember
everything that happened between us, my beautiful girl. Especially involving
those fuckable lips," he whispers, a glint of mischief in his eyes.
"Oh, is
all I can get my mouth to say.
"What's
the matter baby? Did I kiss you senseless?" Luke asks as he pulls me up
into a standing position.
"You so
wish, big boy."

Sometimes reading a debut novel is like unwrapping a present. You never know what you are about to get. Shelter Me was definitely a gift. This story was engaging right from the start and had me turning the pages in anticipation of what was to come next.
I loved Shayne and Luke. Their chemistry was off the charts and made me a believer in second chances. They say time heals all wounds but being left behind with just a note never sat well with Shayne and seeing Luke again after so many years just causes all of her feeling towards him to rush to the surface.
Luke is beyond happy to see Shayne after so many years and is determined not to let her go again. Will they be able to let go of the past and give their love a second chance? Guess you are going to have to grab your copy of Shelter Me to find out!
Kathy did a wonderful job with this book and I have no doubt that she is just beginning her journey as a successful author. The story makes you feel. My emotions were all over the place, happy, sad, laughing and yes crying. Shayne and Luke's story has just enough mystery to keep you engaged right on through to the last page. So without ruining the story for you I will say this....GO 1~click your copy of Shelter Me today and see what is keeping ladies up at night.
