Kyland by Mia Sheridan
Release Date: 1.24.15
Blurb
A standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Archer’s Voice.
Dirt poor. Hillbilly. Backwoods hick. Mountain folk.
Tenleigh Falyn struggles each day to survive in a small, poverty-stricken, coal mining town where she lives with her sister and mentally ill mother. Her dream of winning the college scholarship given to one student by the local coal company and escaping the harshness of her life, keeps her going.
Kyland Barrett lives in the hills, too, and has worked tirelessly—through near starvation, through deep loneliness, against all odds—to win the Tyton Coal Scholarship and leave the town that is full of so much pain.
They’re both determined not to form any attachments, but one moment changes everything. What happens when only one person gets to win? When only one person gets to leave? And what happens to the one left behind?
Kyland is a story of desperation and hope, loss and sacrifice, pain and forgiveness, but ultimately, a story of deep and unending love.
THIS IS A STAND-ALONE SIGN OF LOVE NOVEL, INSPIRED BY TAURUS. New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
My Review
I have to say that Kyland was an incredible book, with an incredibly hopeful story. Tenleigh and Kyland developed a friendship that honestly knew no bounds. Selfless love, heartbreak, and possible redemption.
This was a difficult book to read because of the subject matter and how these young characters had to survive. I cried and I swooned. Such realism and truth behind the story kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t put Kyland by Mia Sheridan down and had this book completed in one sitting.
Tenleigh is strong, but broken. Kyland is a unique character and has so much heart. Will they survive this life and love story?
Beautifully heartbreaking, heart-wrenching, and absolutely a must read.
