Looking back on it now, my fascination with my neighbor was anything but typical. The girl next door with a simple crush was not me. I spent my days watching and pining and stealing Remmie’s private moments, locking them away close to my heart for safekeeping.
Simply put, I was obsessed. It was unhealthy, something I’m sure I should have consulted a therapist about it. That boy was in my head, consuming my train of thought without effort.
Everyone called him Rage, and it took years to comprehend the catch. In the end, that man lived up to his name, and I had no one else to blame but myself.
Remmie Knox Reynolds
Shirley Holmes…that’s the nickname I gave my nosey little neighbor. Reese was forever spying on me from across the way. I would catch glimpses of her peeping from her bedroom blinds, hanging out in trees, and on occasion, even hiding in bushes to keep eyes on me.
After years of her nonsense, those green eyes became a familiar intruder. I knew there would come a time when she’d grow out of it. And I would be there with nothing more than a street between us, watching as it faded away before my very eyes.
Then life happened, and I had no choice but to move. As time would see fit, everything would come full circle, and we’d cross paths again. Only this time, I knew exactly what the future held in store for me, and it did not include Reese Walker. And that reality was the day I became acquainted with true rage.
Taking a leap of faith from that everyday number crunching game is frightening but romance writing is my passion. Juggling the two leaves no time to focus in the rearview. I'm forging ahead cutting a path all my own.
With my Southern roots firmly in place, I'm a country girl at heart. You can bet I'm somewhere curled up with a page turning read by one of my favorite authors, or creating that book magic myself.
Come along with me for a laugh out loud, crazy, and sometimes demented ride. Join the journey!
I absolutely could not put this book down! Childhood love is not for the faint of heart especially when he is ruthless to all of those around other then the sweet, nosy neighbor next door who just can’t get enough of her Remi! In Reese’s eyes he belongs to her and only her! Her childhood love, her, the one who breaks her heart only because he thinks he is doing what is best for her. In the end he realizes he can’t live without his Reese’s Pieces! This story makes my heart melt! ❤️
