I was ordinary. Nice. He was extraordinary. And he wasn’t always nice.
Moody and difficult, brilliant and beautiful, Kes scared me and he protected me. He could be incredibly hurtful and incredibly thoughtful. He wasn’t perfect, but he was perfect for me. He challenged me, he took me out of my safe little box and showed me the world could be magnificent. He was everything I wasn’t.
Aimee Anderson is ten when the traveling carnival first comes to her nice little town. She doesn’t expect her world to change so completely. But meeting Kestrel Donohue puts her life on a different path.
Even though she only sees him for the two weeks of the year when he passes through her home town, his friendship is the most important of her life. As a child’s friendship grows to adult love, the choices become harder, and both Kes and Aimee realize that two weeks a year will never be enough.

Review by Wendy Book Obsessed Pimpette
** ARC received on behalf of obsessed by books for an honest review **
This book had me on a whirl wind of emotions. Amiee is your everyday good fun loving girl and Kestrel is your live wild and free boy, but put these two together and it is explosive. the only problem is time isn't on their side. Kestrel grew up with the carnival and is only around two weeks at a time, but each summer their feelings grow a little bit more beyond friendship. when they reach teenage years they both start to realize that there is more than friendship gong on. they spend every minute together and cherish it and so just when things start going good drama takes control and there is loss, conflict that tatters the relationship. time goes by and when they are reunited again the feelings are still there nothing has change but will they make it , can they survive. I enjoyed this book it was a sweet second chance at love that's why I gave it 4 stars.

Excerpt 1.
Kes’s ‘costume’
hadn’t changed much in the last couple of years. He was still barefoot and bare
chested, but this time the new assistant, Sorcha, was hanging over him, wearing
a skimpy bra top that looked two sizes too small, and a floaty chiffon skirt
that made her legs seem to go on forever. I hated her.
I could see why the
Cirque du Soleil agent had been surprised by Kes’s age. He looked like a man;
Sorcha was all woman, and I looked like a little girl.
When the drumbeat
started, the small arena stilled, a few whispers rippling around the ring. And
then Kes galloped out holding two flaming torches, with Sorcha riding behind
him, clinging to his waist.
My jealousy was so
bitter that I wanted to throw up, but the audience clapped and whistled.
She slid gracefully
to the ground, her bare feet sinking into the sawdust. Her focus was on Kes as
he galloped around her. He hung from Jakey’s neck as he planted one torch to
Sorcha’s left and the second to her right, so her wild hair seemed to catch
fire.
And then the show
began. Kes stood on Jakey’s racing back briefly, then leapt to the ground.
He juggled the
flaming torches, ran, jumped, and somersaulted onto and from Jakey’s back again
and again, always fluid, always in motion. I held my breath until my head spun.
He wasn’t born for an office or a desk job; he was born to thrill, to make you
gasp, to stop you in your tracks so you’d have to ask, how did he do
that?

I live in a small village by the ocean and walk my little dog, Pip, every day. It’s on those beachside walks that I have all my best ideas.
Writing has become a way of life – and one that I love to share.
