Astoria
He was the man of my dreams, or so I thought. I wasn't sure how I'd react when I saw him again. I planned on avoiding him, but our small hometown made that impossible. The years apart melted away when I saw him. Time hadn't changed my feelings, after all. Jealousy flared anew. My heart, which I thought had healed, was back to being in a million pieces.
Now I'm right where I don't want to be—in front of him with tears in my eyes.
Parker
Everything isn't always as it seems. One moment could cause a ripple effect with unexpected consequences that last for years. Not a day had gone by that I didn't think of her. When our paths crossed again, I knew I had to tell her the truth. Arguing was inevitable, but I'd rather fight for her than face another day without her. My heart always belonged to her.
Where I am is standing in front of her—asking for another chance.
Holy mother of feels!! Where I End will forever be in my top 5 reads. I was hooked to Cy's story and I loved his best friend Parker. When I found out Where I Am was going to be Parker's story I jumped for joy. But, I was unprepared for what Parker was going thru.
Astoria AKA Tora to Parker was unprepared for Parker to come into her life. So unprepared she forgot she was driving and almost wrecked her car bc of it. Their attraction was hard and fast and mutual. Astoria planned on spending the rest of her life with Parker. Then one night she sees Parker with someone else. Before he can say anything she leaves. Astoria went to college and never answered Parker's calls or texts. But, now she's graduated and doesn't have a job so she is headed home. She might've dated casually in college but nothing serious bc she gave her heart to Parker and he never returned it.
The minute Tora almost crashed into his car Parker his heart belonged to her. When she walked in on him that night 4yrs ago he hadn't been cheating on her. He was helping his friend. But, Tora ran out and never looked back. Parker refuses to give up on her, on them. When he sees that Tora's back in town he makes it his mission to get her to give him 5 minutes to listen to him.
When Parker finally gets Tora to listen to him she couldn't believe how dumb she was. If only she stopped when he yelled for her or called him back they would've never lost the past 4yrs. Their chemistry is still completely off the charts and they pick up where they left off and learn who they've become while apart.
But, things aren't all that easy. There were things that happened that night 4yrs ago. Things that go beyond Parker and Tora. It effects Parker's best friend Blaire. He calls her B and to him she's his sister. Whenever she's calls Parker he stops what he's doing and runs to her. Parker will do whatever he has to in order to keep her safe. After 4yrs Parker finally has some backup bc they've never told anyone what happened. Now, Tora, Eve and Cy are all in and they'll need all hands on deck for what they're dealing with.
Parker oh Parker. We learn from Where I End he'll do anything for his family and the ones he love. We really learn how far he'll go to protect the ones he keeps the closest to his heart. The love he had for Tora was deep, real and beautiful. Even if he was with other women in the years they were separated it was only physically. His heart belonged sole to Tora. And, everything he did for Blaire shows you two things, what a real man looks like and the meaning of a true friend.
Astoria is a wonderful person. Even through she ran from Parker you have to remember she was 18 and only graduating high school. At that age you don't tend to think things thru. Her heart told her one thing and the whole not everything is as it seems. Once she knew the whole story she didn't twice to move forward in her life with Parker and to help Blaire. She's a truly beautiful woman.
Even though Where I End and Where I Am are considered standalone books I'd read them in order. Both of these books are so beautifully written and will stick with you for awhile. I know they will for me. I hope Blaire's next. I also hope Michelle doesn't stop writing for a long time!
