The Reality Duet: Escaping Our Reality (Book One) and Finding Our Reality (Book Two) by Halcie Dawn is now live!
Escaping Our Reality
Ella
I want to find my sister. Actually, I need to find my sister. I can't count on my parents to do it. They're too busy jet-setting around the world on useless vacations and bed-hopping from one tryst to the other. So it's up to me. I mean, the police have no new leads--maybe I can do what they can't do.
But instead of finding her, I find him.
Homeless, cynical, commanding, and without a doubt, the best-looking guy I've ever seen in my entire life.
I'm drawn to him. Instantly and permanently. He sees me. The real me. The me that I show so few people.
There's just one problem. Well, two problems, really. One, he doesn't think he's worthy. Of anything. And two, he doesn't want me looking for my sister.
Crutch
I'm from the wrong side of the tracks. Hell, my side of town is so bad it doesn't even have tracks. I come from addicts, thieves, and liars.
And her...
Well, she has enough money to solve world hunger and still wipe her hands on a gold-trimmed handkerchief when she's done.
Girls like her throw pity at guys like me. That's why I don't let anyone see the real me. Find the ones who know nothing about you or where you're from, have a little fun, and then walk away. That's my modus operandi. And yes, I do know what that means. Being poor doesn't mean I'm stupid.
I can't let her go. And I know I should. I mean, she's still in high school. But... I can't walk away.
I might not have a choice, though. Especially if she doesn't stop looking for her sister.
5 Star Review:
If the start to this book grabs your attention and pulls you completely in from the first chapter, you know this book is going to be good.
Ella and Crutch are very different and their lives just seem to intertwine. Crutch is from the side of the tracks most people warn you to stay away from but Ella needed information that only he could give. As their lives begin to focus on things and searching for a missing person, we begin to see their chemistry and blows the roof from every building they are in.
This story is amazing and leave you guessing and wishing for more.
Finding Our Reality
Ella
I'm back. Little did I know he's back too. Apparently, I'm the only one who didn't know.
Not only is he back in town, but he's working my sister's case. Declaring he'll do anything to solve it. So why did he try to stop me all those years ago?
What the hell happened to him? I'll tell you what happened. He ruined my life. He walked away and wrecked me. Made me turn into someone I hated. Made me turn to someone I hated. And while I was dragging myself through agony, he apparently was screwing half the women in Alabama.
I'll never forgive him. And if he thinks he's going to solve my sister's case all by himself, he's got another thing coming.
Because I'm the best there is.
Crutch
She's back. And it's pretty clear to see that everyone kept my secrets. They didn't tell her about me.
Leaving her was the hardest thing I've ever done. But she deserved more. I was nothing. A homeless, wayward mess of a guy. She wanted to save me, but I couldn't let her derail her future. Not for me... because I was a nobody.
And I guess I made the right decision--because it sure didn't take her long to turn to another. To turn back to the kind of life she claimed to despise.
And now, she wants to be a part of this investigation. Like I don't know what the hell I'm doing. If she thinks she's going to solve her sister's case all by herself, she's got another thing coming.
Because I'm the best there is.
5 Star Review:
Who doesn't love second chances? I love the difference in time and how things just picked up where they left off. Ella and Crutch are adults but that doesn't mean the banter has stopped. I love everything about them including the struggles they are still facing. The love they have for each other is undeniable. As their love story plays out, all questions are answered.
I loved this duet and can't wait to read more for Halcie Dawn. This is the first set of books I have read from her and I am excited for more.
