Excerpt
“Evan, I want to know what happened, but I have a life now and you need to know…” She trails off, her eyes darting away from mine.
“What?”
Gazing up at me, she continues, “Whatever you have to say, it’s not going to change a thing. We’re over.”
My heart twists and breathing becomes difficult. Mother fuck, her words cut deep, hurting even though they aren’t true. Sure, she believes them on some level—she had to, in order to get through what I did. Yet, along with the hurt and disappointment swimming in her eyes, there’s also tenderness and love.
“Tell me you’re happy and I’ll walk away.”
We always pushed each other, challenged the other to face our fears, to be honest with ourselves, with each other. I need to hear her say it. I don’t believe it, but if she is over me, I need to hear it in her voice and see it in her face—not because I want to, but because it’s the only way I can even begin to accept that we’re over. Even then, it’s not possible.
“I’m happy.” Her tone is laden with bravado, but no true emotion. Even her gaze, which never wavers from mine, is flat.
Shaking my head, I briefly cast my eyes downward to suppress my smile. “No, you’re not.”
“Van.” I flinch at that fucking name.
As a child, I thought it was so fucking cool to have a nickname that only my best friends would call me. Now, hearing “Van” from her pretty lips, I want to obliterate the word from her vocabulary, fucking kiss the word out of her.
“You can call me asshole for all I care, you’re not happy,” I retort in frustration. Catching my tone, I breathe deeply and loosen my fists to relax. “Don’t lie to me, and most of all, don’t lie to yourself.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about. You want to see what you want. I’m with Greg, and we’re happy.”
She grimaces infinitesimally, then averts her eyes from me. Unable to read her, I’m not sure if it’s because she means it and doesn’t want to hurt my feelings or if the lie tastes nasty in her mouth.
“Sweetness, I know everything there is to know about you, without apology. You can’t lie to me.”
“What?”
Gazing up at me, she continues, “Whatever you have to say, it’s not going to change a thing. We’re over.”

Review
Young love doesn't always last, that's why it's called young love.
But sometimes young love turns into an everlasting love.
For Evan and Cayrs their love started the moment Evan held Carys in his arms. He didn't understand the feeling he felt all those years ago, but today he does and knows he'll never love another.
Carys has always wanted Evan and for a moment she thought they had it all. But out of nowhere Evan disappears and tells her to move on. She doesn't understand but as the years past, she finally decides to do as he said and move on.
Evan never wanted to hurt his "Sweetness" but he thought he was doing the right thing. He know realizes his mistake and vows to make things right. He's home, he's here to stay, and he's going to get his girl back and finally start the life they always planned.
Carys has moved on and has a new man in her life. How will Evan return affect her relationship? Can she forgive him for the pain he caused? And more importantly, will they find a way to get back together or has their time passed?
Blue is a captivating, thrilling, sizzling story of first love and second chances. The connection between Evan and Carys is so evident that the sparks fly off the pages. The reason that Evan disappeared is intriguing and the drama that follows him home is gripping.
I was entranced with this book from start to finish. The romance is intense and provocative. Evan is a hero that would move heaven and earth for the woman he loves. I love Carys and her strong willing personality, she isn't afraid to stand up for what she wants.
S.M. West brings a story full of grit, passion, excitement, and heart and soul. I would highly recommend Blue if you're looking for a read that's addicting, heart stopping, and have you believing in second chances.
