REVIEW: SHY KINDA LOVE by Deanna Eshler

May 24, 2015

24837871When I was eleven, my best friend died in a car accident. When I was twelve, my mom walked out, leaving only a note to say goodbye. When I was eighteen, I was forced into witness protection.
My new name is Shyanne Adams. To protect myself, and painless existence, I do not live. I do not laugh. I do not love. For the last three years, the only meaningful thing I’ve done is care for the horse I rescued.
But now, at the age of twenty-one, the one person from both my past and present is pushing me to start living. Before I know it, I’m moving in with new friends who make me laugh. And next door is Kade Cross, the guy who wants me to love.
Kade knows that I will complicate his life, but he welcomes the challenge. He sees that I’m broken, but he doesn’t try to fix me. When he knows I’m trying to push him away, he braces for the impact.
What Kade doesn’t know is that I could have to relocate at any time. So I have to decide: is experiencing love for a short time worth the pain of losing it?

Well... Where do I start?

This book was given to me by the sweet Deanna Eshler in exchange for an honest review. I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop fangirling with her in every e-mail I sent updating her on my reading experience.

First of all let me tell you that I beta-read for several authors and none of them pulled me into the story as fast as this lady did. Her story-telling is BRILLIANT. The writing style was simple, but beautiful

Shy Kinda Love is a plot-driven story about tough choices, guilt, healing, friendship, family, sexuality, and of course, LOVE. (And horses. A lot of pretty, cute, sweet horses. Now I want one!)

I loved our heroine, Shyanne. She's likable, even when she's being a bitch. I get her, I understand her.


Kade, our hero, is so cute it makes me want a nerdy guy too. WHERE IS MY KADE? I WANT ONE!


I am so intrigued by the secondary characters that I want their story too! Gemma, Keegan, EVERYONE! They feel like REAL people. (I WANT KEEGAN'S STORY. PRETTY PLEASE WITH A ZOMBIE ON TOP.) 

Don't get me started on Ryder. SUCH A GOOD BFF! He is amazing to Shyanne. How she listens to him, and actually tries to be happy. She understands where he is coming from, and tries to live.

READ THIS. NOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR.
