Recommendation
Before I say anything, I’ll just give away this non-spoiler nugget of information: Sharing Harper is not about a menage relationship. If you’re thinking you’re getting into a book all about sharing a woman in bed, this is not a book for you. If you like sweet, secret-keeping, secret-revealing, frustrating heroines who are sex fiends, Harper and Ryder are the characters for you. I think there could have been so much less distraction for me if the author had spent time having the book professionally edited* for both grammar and storyline holes. Overall, I enjoyed the book and recommend it as a coming-of-age, falling-in-first-love story. (*The author tells me that the book has been edited since I received my copy.) [July 2013]
Publisher synopsis
“I’m not very good at sharing, especially when it comes to you Harper.”
A pain too hard to understand.
A struggle too deep to reach.
A love too complicated to work…but too intense to let go.
Harper Mae ran as far away as she could from her abusive past. She went to a different city and numbed her pain by using men, never sleeping with the same guy more than once.
Ryder worked at a coffee shop trying to blend in with the rest of the world, desperately trying to live a normal life. After leaving a relationship and losing his family, he vowed never to fall in love again.
Until one day they are unexpectedly drawn to each other unable to let go.
Harper and Ryder’s turbulent relationship, two people who are struggling to find themselves, realize the answer lies within each other.
Secrets, so deep, that both have, end up surfacing causing irrevocable pain.
Will their love be strong enough to survive or will their pain be the downfall to their relationship?
Will Harper open up enough to share her past with Ryder or will he be just another number on her list?
