I'm Down Forever, Your Rider
Formerly titled Tales of a Silent Heart
Life changed unexpectedly for seventeen-year-old Harley when she moved in with her Aunt Frankie. Instead of spending her senior year preparing for graduation and picking colleges, Harley found herself raising her five-year-old sister, Heidi. Although Frankie was there to make the load easier for the girls while they were dealing with the incarceration of their mother, she made it heavier.
As if her home situation wasn't enough, Harley found herself trying to navigate through life's obstacles. Typical high school stuff, mean girls, popular guys, and a demanding course load. Being deaf didn't seem to win her any sympathy points.
Just when Harley thought things would be the way they were forever, Barz entered her life. The smooth talking, popular guy who couldn't possibly be interested in Harley, except he was. They say people enter your life for a reason or a season. With outsiders working against them at every corner, Harley and Barz find themselves at a crossroad.
Can the young lovers overcome the many obstacles they are faced with, or is their love seasonal

Not What It Seems...
I think that Tyrell is setting Harley up and trying to break her and Jabari up. I hope that Jabari and Harley can get back on track because they're so good together. I like that Kellum has him a girlfriend, Carnegie, and they've been spending a lot of time together. Axel done made Egypt a cougar without her knowledge but i don't see this being the end for them. I want Adrian to get the desires of her heart which is to find love but hopefully she won't have to deal with heartbreak. I really can't stand Frankie and she needs to do a whole lot better.

Five Star!!
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I have to say I am a fan for life. I thought this book was so good. I hated that Harley and her sister had to live with their no good aunt who just took them in for some stamps and a check. People are always quick to judge and look down on you when you going through tough times. I am glad she had her cousin Kellum to help. And the relationship she had with Barz was great until jealousy messed that up. I don't want to give away to much but I highly recommend this book to everyone.

Team Barz and Rider
This was the first book I read by Tyrecka Liggons and I must say I enjoyed the story line it was different from your regular high school sweetheart story where two Popular or two rich kids hooked up. Barz exactly took the time to get and learn Harley situation and treated her no different..I loved the bond everyone shared....Can't wait to see what happens next

A Great Read
This was a great read from the beginning to end. I read this book in one sitting. Once I started, I was hooked. Poor Harley had a rough life, but somehow she always came out on top. She didn't let her being deaf stop her doing what she had to do. She made sure her sister Heidi was good as well. I loved every page of this story, and I can't wait to get part 2.

This book started off slow but I loved how everyone was tied into one another in one way or another. Something I have picked up from reading other works by the author.
