I received an ARC copy of Walk with Me in exchange for an honest review.Kenna is a 19 year old girl who has a traumatic homelife - her stepdad is an abusive jerk and her mom just lets it happen, both to her and to Kenna. Kenna gets to the point where she just can't take it anymore and escapes, moving in with her best friend Danielle's family. Danielle and the policeman that she's casually dating, introduce Kenna to his friend Donovan, a 21 year old rookie cop who struggles with an issue of his own.Walk With Me is Kenna's journey of finding her own way and realizing that she is worthy of being respected and even more importantly loved. .I really enjoyed Walk With Me. No one should have to be subjected to the abuse that Kenna's stepdad dishes out so I was very happy that she was able to get away from that. Donovan was the perfect guy for her - he was gentle with her, and always made her feel respected, safe and secure and he didn't push his feelings on her until he thought she'd be able to accept them.Aside from Kenna's family life and the issue that Donovan's family has been dealing with for the past few years, there really wasn't any major issues between them, until right near the end of the book, which was surprising to me. I kept thinking that Kenna's mom and stepdad would be making an appearance in the book, doing something that would cause a rift between Kenna and Donovan. Even the tension from the boy that Kenna had sorta kinda been dating prior to meeting to Donovan was only a blip on their radar map. So as strange as it sounds, I am glad that there finally was something that could put their relationship in jeopardy. And I'm also glad that the book ended where it did and not go any further leaving us with a cliffhanger, while we wait for book #2 to come out. There's still enough intrigue that I am going to keeping my eye out for Turn to Me to come out, but I'm at a good place while I'm waiting.
