Caught in Your Love
"If you want a better life, nobody's going to hand it to you."
That is a motto Lamika finds herself living by. She's a country girl through and through, but as time progresses, she expects her life too as well. Her skillset is perfect for country living, but with her heart set on the big city, she leaves home in a rush, throwing caution to the wind to find luxury in the life she creates.
Just as easily as she moves, Lanika falls in love with Thomas Nick, THE hottest car salesman in the state. With Thomas by her side, she feels like she's struck gold. That is, until tragedy and misfortune strikes their long-term relationship, forcing Lamika to leave behind her fancy life.
In an attempt to get Thomas' attention, she stages a life-threatening situation that catches the attention of a former poet, Rushawn "Rush" Holder. From the moment he sees Lanika up close, his instincts tell him to protect her, to be there for her, and to love her. Unbeknownst to Rush, Lanika comes with more baggage than the bag lady herself and helping her to rewrite her story won't be an easy one to pen.
Will Lanika let her hurt run so deeply that she misses out on a real chance at love? Or will Rush find that loving her requires too much work and walk away as she falls? Find out now in Caught in Your Love!

For the sake of this being a book club pick, I am going to write my review to reflect the conversation that will be had. Alright, for starters, I felt like overall, this was a cute short story. There were parts of the book that were kind of corny, but overall, it was cute and it does show the power of love, ESPECIALLY when you're pregnant. First of all, just to get straight to it, Lanika, why was there no contact with your family? That doesn’t make sense. Was Thomas forcing you to not talk to them? Why did you assume they wouldn't be there for you while being away trying to get your life together? I guess I am so big on family that I can't imagine going too long without talking to them. Even if you weren't disclosing information about you and Thomas, why no contact? And c'mon girl, you mean to tell me, the very place you were about to jump from, your car was there the whole time from living in it? So, what were you going to do, continue sitting there as a constant reminder? The whole pretend relationship never works out. Someone, if not both people in this case, always catch feelings. ESPECIALLY when you have sex the second day of knowing this person and you're that vulnerable. But that's neither here nor there. I think Lanika not wanting to come clean about what was really happening, even after her mother asked multiple times, bothered me a bit. She should of known that her family would still be there for her. Maybe not. IDK - I truly hate she lost her babies though and had to deal with the asshole, she called her boyfriend. And he was completely out of line for trying to buy her a card after what he did. Had the audacity to be mad when she ended up pregnant again. Boy bye. Some stuff happening truly be a blessing in disguise. Now, on to Rush! wow, he was so nice and trusting from the jump. He apparently really waited for love to come to him. I wasn't really sure what he was expecting out of going over to his parents house, but I guess he had to have some type of drama in his storyline. Rush was a really nice guy though. Love that they both found each other.

LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL STORY 😍
I truly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Thomas is a JERK AND TOXIC. My heart went out to Lanika on losing her babies and then to have a trifling man that disregarded her feelings was to much. I am thankful that Rush was in the right place and caught her.
Rush is a true KING !!! Lanika find her person.
I Love how is uplifted,encouraged and inspired her to want to be better. I am so glad when Lanika finally admitted she need help and Rush stopped everything to make sure she received what she needed to be a better person. I had tears falling from my face at the lost of Papa and that poem Rush wrote.
T.Marie you definitely did a fantastic job and I truly love this book.
Can't wait to see what is next!!

This is my first read from this author
Baby where do I start
First and foremost Thomas is a real fu**boy
He pissed me off so bad
Now Lanka had my heart palpitating
I was no please don’t end your life like that
Baby Rush came in and gave her a new outlook on life
I’m glad she finally admitted she need help cause baby she had me crying my heart out
Now Papa his passing hit me hard and the way everybody was crying I was sad
Now Rush parents need to go play in traffic cause he turned out just fine without them
Will there be a part 2 or a spin-off in da making

Caught in your love!!
This was a good read. Lanika went through deep depression to the point she wanted to end her life. Losing a child is hard and she didn't have the right person to help her. Rush was life for Lanika a real man unlike the Thomas dude she first dated. Thomas was real selfish and didn't care what Lanika was going through. This story touched depression and got emotional good read.

I loved this well written emotional story. The pain, despair, and hurt had me all in my feelings. The way this couple met was was at her lowest point in her life, but became the turning point. The love of her friend, lover, and then husband was what her heart needed and what his heart also needed. So glad I read their story.

Thomas knew he messed up but he still hated to see Lanika getting loved on correctly, Rush did just that their chemistry was everything he let be her find what she wanted to do and he got her help so she could become better!!

I’m so glad she found her knight and shining armor and they are happily married and having babies. Thomas was a straight A-hole and he didn’t deserve her.

Omg thus emotional rollercoaster had me everywhere. Jesus be the reason! This lady had been thru the wringer and back. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves that everything that play in our head its always gonna be that outcome. But I'm glad she was loved to the max by all the right people.
