It had always been the three of us, and then it was the two of
us-Ed and August. There was not, nor had there ever been a chance of a
Noah and August. And that was fine. Because the truth was I had known
Noah forever but I still had no idea who he really
was. Especially not now.
In this sizzling novella, one girl must choose between loyalty and love.
August had the two best guy friends a girl could ask for in Noah
and Ed. Then Ed confessed he felt more for her - and their new
relationship changed everything. She had hoped it would be Noah that
she'd end up with someday, but it's clearer than ever
that Noah's just not interested in being a one-girl guy.
When the small seaplane the three of them are on crashes, August
finds herself injured and marooned on an island with ... Noah. Unsure
of what's become of Ed, August and Noah do their best to not lose hope
as they fight to survive on an island that
is not as deserted as they first believed. But fighting the elements -
and their attraction to each other - becomes a losing battle.
Soon, a secret from Noah's past that could bind them to the
island forever is revealed, and August must choose between giving into
her feelings for him, or struggling to make it back home.
My Thoughts:
I thought I would just read a few pages before bed but this little story sucked me in and I couldn't stop reading it until I finished. AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING BECAUSE WHO NEEDS SLEEP ANYWAY RIGHT?!
If LOCKED were a T.V. show it would be my new guilty pleasure. It's got a little something for everyone, magic, mystery, fun, and FEELINGS and OH MY ISLAND, I NEED MORE AUGUST, NOAH AND ED IN MY LIFE!
I wish this was out sooner, since I'm heading to the beach this weekend. But I guess I can read it and sit near a sprinkler and pretend I'm at the beach... ;)
