Come to Me Quietly by A. L. Jackson

Come to Me Quietly (Closer to You, #1)

by A. L. Jackson

From the acclaimed bestselling author of Lost to You and When We Collide comes a scorching New Adult novel, perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover! Come to Me Quietly tells the story of one woman’s obsession: a man who’s as passionate as he is elusive—and as tempting as he is trouble…

Aleena Moore is haunted by Jared Holt. It’s been six years since she’s seen her brother’s best friend, the self-destructive bad boy she secretly loved in high school. As the years pass, she knows it’s time to move on. Time to decide between a practical nursing degree and her true dream as an artist. Time to get over Jared and give another guy a chance…

Just when she opens her heart to her friend, Gabe, Aly returns home to find Jared sleeping on her couch. The teenage boy she loved has grown into a man she can’t resist. Covered in tattoos and lost in rage, he’s begging to be saved from his demons—the memories of the day he destroyed his family. As the two reconnect, their passion is hot enough to torch Aly’s judgment. But can she risk her future for a man who lives on the edge of destruction?

Come to Me Quietly was a good story, but in some ways, I just got a little sick of all of Jared's doubts... It's hard to understand that he hadn't had any kind of counseling since he was 16 and 'disappeared'. I loved Aly and Christopher, though, and I felt like the three childhoodfriends all needed each other to fully start being adults.
I look forward to reading the rest of this series - even if I'm pretty sure there's going to be more drama than I usually enjoy.
