Release Date: March 17, 2020
Blurb:
Murderer. Knockout. Buried. Tormented.
The image the world sees is not the man that I have become.
Images of me, of what I have done to another man, fill my mind.
Nightmares fill my life, day or night, it doesn’t matter. All I see is death.
Enabler. Trash. Hidden. Scandalous.
The image the town sees of me is not who I have become.
What I do late at night, to make ends meet, consumes me.
I have no future. No prospects. No money.
I’ve always tried to hide the fact that I’m nothing.
Images we try to uphold are lies that we present to the outside world.
Masks are all that we show, even to our closest friends.
Nobody knows what lies beneath the surface.
Nobody will ever know.
Review:
This is the first book I read of Hayley Faiman and I can promise you it wont be the last.
Louis and Tulip's story takes you on an emotional roller coaster. Louis feels like a killer and unworthy of Tulip's love because of the color of his skin. The last person he loved, left him because her friends thought it was weird that she was dating a black man. Horrible people in my opinion.
Louis came to Gallup, Texas after a horrible fight where is opponent died. Even though everyone told him that it wasn't his fault, he still feels guilty. Coming back he has one objective, TULIP. He likes her and wants to see where things go from here.
Tulip works in a supermarket during the day and in a strip joint at night. She likes Louis but she doesn't feel like she is good enough for him. But she is proven wrong every step of the way. He wants her and support her decisions even when he doesn't like it. There love is put to the test several times when her back comes back to haunt her.
I loved every moment of this roller coaster ride. Louis and Tulip have a deep connection and they go on this ride together. They stick together through it all. Through his guilty of killing someone and to her kidnapping. They are soulmates and are not giving up on each other.
