Before I start my review, I love that Debra Kayn gives us such a beautiful insight into the settings of her books. The pictures she posts of the Clubhouse, Bordello, living quarters, streets etc. really give you the feeling that when you read her books, you can imagine being right there, witnessing everything as the stories unfold. I thoroughly enjoy reading all of Debra's books and encourage everyone to pick one up, you will really get hooked once you start.
Now, The Higher You Fly. Caiden and Jolene's love for each other is clear for all to see, unfortunately Jolene's parents don't want her to associate with Caiden and after his last bout in the boxing ring everything changes for them. Caiden will lose Jolene in very unfortunate circumstances and it will be many years before they connect again. Caiden becomes very bitter when the promise Jolene made was broken and he has to pick his life up and try to live in a town that hates him, but it is his town and he doesn't care about the dirty looks and snide remarks from the townfolk of Federal, Idaho, he just wants to live his life day to day until the end.
Unfortunately fate has other ideas, and when Jolene fronts up to pay for gas for her car and needs a receipt for tax purposes, the last person she ever thought she would come face to face with was Caiden Hall, working at the gas station.
And here we begin a beautiful love story that will truly test your emotions as these two try everything they can to avoid each other and not reconnect, but the pull is there and the love they had for each other is begging to be rekindled but can it happen when there are so many obstacles in their way to overcome?
I loved every word written in this book and even as I write this review, I feel I will need to go back and re-read it. Thank you Debra Kayn for the advance copy, I would have to say this will definitely be one of my favourites.
