Until high school that is.
Suddenly as a teenager, girls were throwing themselves at me. Call it puberty or clear disinterest in them that left most pining for me.
Surprisingly they seemed fine with it. I had no feelings, no emotions with them, I’d give them a quick ride, then send them on their way.
Except one.
My best friend’s sister.
Bailey
One might say that I was the perfect daughter and sister.
I did everything right until I didn’t.
I never expected to fall for a guy like my ex-boyfriend and the ramifications of that relationship’s demise would change my life forever.
That’s one of the reasons why I became a flight attendant. I craved to have my freedom back.
It wasn’t until I finally felt like everything was under control and that I had things figured out, that my life would truly be turned on its side.
And the only one I have to blame is my brother’s best friend.
I’m a sucker for a reformed playboy who falls hard, and that’s exactly what we get with Mason Miller. Bailey was always going to be the one to bring him to his knees, and although their relationship goes through many ups and downs, this couple eventually gets to their well-deserved happily ever after.
This story is also full of some heavy topics. Mason was abandoned by his mother as a young boy, and he never got over it. That abandonment has shaped every interaction he’s ever had with women. And Bailey found out she was pregnant just days after her college boyfriend overdosed. Huxley handles both of these traumas delicately and we really get to see how these issues affect both of these characters.
Overall, Light Behind The Lies is a lovely, highly emotional story full of spice and witty banter. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
M.J. Huxley is originally from Los Angeles, California, but currently resides in the southwest. When she isn’t jamming out to 80’s music, eating tacos, or hanging out with her family she’s obsessively writing about the characters in her head who scream to have their stories read. Sometimes you can even find her daydreaming about being trapped in a Salvador Dali painting.
M.J, strives to tell authentic stories of raw, unfiltered, and imperfect love. She writes strong female leads who are products of their generation. These women fall hard, love deeply and live passionately. The men they choose will rock their worlds and shake them to their core.
Down the rabbit hole, you go…happy reading, fellow readers.
