About this listen

I have loved Channing Monroe all my life.

In first grade, he asked for my Trapper Keeper.

I hit him in the head with it.

Third grade, we were best friends. We kissed in seventh grade.

In eighth grade, he turned into a bad boy and the rest was a tumultuous storm.

Growing up, the problem was never love for us. Bad times. Good times. There were times when I felt our love in every inch of my body, vibrating, making me feel like it could bring me back to life.

The problem was us.

The problem is that we're living in two different worlds now. Fallen Crest and its millionaires for me. Roussou and their criminals for him. I was thriving in mine and he was running his.

But... But there were nights I felt we couldn't be further apart than we were, and there were nights I felt we shared the same heartbeat.

When was it time?

When was it time to either sacrifice, make a change, or walk away from the boy I grew up with?

The Boy I Grew Up With - a slow burn

The Boy I Grew Up With by Tijan was a slow burn for me. Starting out slow and smouldering, heating up as the story intensified until it burned hot with want, need, sex, anger, danger, more sex and a ultimately an underlying love that couldn’t be broken.
This was another story from Tijan that I enjoyed listening to. The characters, storyline and the setting of the scenes throughout, makes this a great read.
