COME
BACK TO TEXAS by KK Hendin
August 2014
BOOK
BLURB:
Everyone thought we’d be the ones who made it through
high school. The ones who’d get married and stay married forever. The example
of how young love can work.
We thought so, too.
Too bad life had other plans.
It’s been three years since Hayley and Nate broke each
other’s hearts. Three years, and a lot has changed. Hayley’s a freshman in
Bushwick University, and the only things keeping her sane are stress baking,
and her a cappella group, Twelve Beats in a Bar.
Nate’s a Marine, stationed in Afghanistan. The only
thing that’s keeping him sane is the last picture he has of him and Hayley, and
the hope that maybe when the hell of deployment is over, he can find her again
and apologize.
One explosion will change everything.
When a bomb kills all of Nate’s unit, leaving him
missing a leg and eyesight in one eye, he’s sent back home to Texas. Texas,
where he loved Hayley more than he could possibly imagine ever loving anyone
else.
With seemingly endless amounts of free time and
needing something to distract himself, Nate starts making YouTube videos,
imploring Hayley to come back to him, and come back to Texas.
Hayley’s life is wrapped around the Beats, making sure
she doesn’t flunk out of biology class, and babysitting Ohio’s smallest
monster, Brandon. She doesn't want to admit it, but she misses Nate more than
anything.
It’s too bad she doesn’t know just how much he misses
her, too…

Review by Wendy Book Obsessed
* * ARC given on behalf of obsessed by obsessed by books for an honest review * *
This book at first took a little time to get into for me, but I'm so glad I finished it, it turned out to be awesome. Haley and Nate were high school sweet hearts and Nate felt he had a duty, so he enlisted lest Haley behind. which left her broken.
3 years have passed and now Haley is moving forward. going to college. making friends, getting over Nate. She thought she was doing good but deep down she knows she'll never get over Nate.
Nate only one surviving in his unit starts thinking about Haley, cause his thoughts of her is the only thing that kept him alive. now him being state side he's had time to think and now he realizes that leaving Haley behind was the worst mistake he had ever made.l, so now his mission is get Haley back. Nate does fight for her, and the way he cares for her and the love he has for her is awesome. Loved this book, it was mainly about their past but I loved it.

ABOUT THE
AUTHOR:
KK Hendin’s real life ambition is to become a pink
fluffy unicorn who dances with rainbows. But the schooling for that is all
sorts of complicated, so until that gets sorted out, she’ll just write.
Preferably things with angst and love. And things that require chocolate. She’s
the author of the NA contemporaries HEART BREATHS and ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG.
THIS MUCH SPACE is the second book in her new series,
TWELVE BEATS IN A BAR.
KK spends way too much time on Twitter (where she can
be found as @kkhendin), and rambles on occasion over at www.kkhendinwrites.blogspot.com.
