While dealing with the loss of her mother, she experiences her first heartbreak. She commits herself to her studies and runs away from any emotions that aren’t safe. Bradley Banks, a confident CEO and commercial architect, who has long time commitment issues forces Gabby to feel again, but will he be her next heartbreak?

Liezel’s Thoughts:
“I can barely breathe when I’m around you because you take my breath away.”
“Come dance with me. I’ve been waiting to dance with you since I first laid eyes on you in the church.”
“Gabby, how many times do I have to tell you? I don’t know what I’m doing. I can’t promise you I’m not going to screw up, that I’m not going to hurt you. I can tell you the sheer thought of hurting you hurts me. I want to try, i am trying. Will you please try with me?”
“There is no one else for me. If I can’t be with you for the rest of my life, I will be alone. I’ll be miserable.”
The Verdict:
What I hope to see in this book:
Casting Picks:
For Bradley: Had to pick someone in their 30’s, “with messy black hair, clean shaven and musculine, rigid square jaw, can easily been a model.” Sounds like Ashton would be a good fit.
And I found this cutie as Ian: Mitch Hewer, apparently hes an English actor. Choose him because his athletic physique, hes age and of course his “sandy-blond hair, slightly long and shaggy.”
“….you are my mind, my body, my soul.”
