Lovely
Farrah Caine is the stereotypical, broke college student... on the surface. Her secrets lie buried and she'd like to keep them that way. Her family believes she ran away, but to her, leaving was the only way to move forward.
Gavyn Valmore shares a World History class with Farrah. To him, she's anything but normal. She's definitely his type. From the way she looks, anyway. He's never talked to her because getting involved with women is at the bottom of his list of priorities.
For two people not looking for love, they fall hard. Unfortunately, they both have secrets that could tear them apart. Sometimes love isn't enough.

Jez Strider has always been drawn to the shadows — the places where the supernatural brushes against the painfully human. Her stories explore identity, survival, and the strange beauty of being an outsider.
After stepping away from writing to face some of life’s heavier battles, she’s returned with a voice that’s stronger, darker, and more honest than ever.
She lives in Tennessee with her boyfriend and a small constellation of animals who have shaped her life as much as any story. They’re the quiet magic in the background while she builds new worlds, one chapter at a time.

This the first book I've read by this author & it was truly an enjoyable read. This book had everything I look for.....romance, steamy sex scenes, angst, and HEA plus it's a standalone! I will be looking for more from this author!!

Good book
Good book
talk about your instalove. this had it in spades. the author did a good job of pulling it off though. I gave it three stars because it was just missing a little umph I guess. I think it could have used maybe dual POV. I'm still not sure on the H's physical description other than he had unruly hair and wore glasses sometimes and had a good body. same for the H's description as well. it was kind of cheesy sweet too and may have held more appeal for me if the H would have been a little more "alpha" maybe. I just needed "more" of something to connect with the main characters better. over all a good SWEET read.

Writing in first-person is tricky, and Jez Strider had done so flawlessly in Lovely. This story is deep and many-layered, and Ms. Strider tells the story beautifully, revealing layer after layer in good measure. The complexity of the story builds, as does the complexity of the characters. From early on, I was captivated by Farrah, the main character. The further I read, the deeper this story went into me, touching me. It made me laugh, and it made me cry. This story made a lasting mark on me. I won’t forget it. It is outstanding!
