Let Me In is an awesome short story. It's only 103 pages but I loved it!Talia has just come home on leave from the marines. Unfortunately for her it's Thanksgiving and holidays are not something she looks forward to. Her only family that she has is her mother and she is definitely not the June Cleaver type. She has major issues. A pang of sadness goes through her when she sees all the families welcoming home her fellow serviceman with no one to greet her. To her utter shock, she finds Angie and Liam Brodie, waiting for her. Angie has been her best friend for the past two years and Liam is the brother that Talia has secretly lusted over all that time. Their family is picture perfect and has treated her like a daughter since Angie and she have become friends. This is why Talia doesn't want to start anything with Liam, even though he's made it clear in the past he's interested. She can't bear to lose the love the Brodie's show her if something goes wrong with Liam. She feels certain if Liam found out the secret of her mother's problems he couldn't bear to stay with her. No other man has.Liam has wanted Talia for quite some time. Now that she's back stateside, he plans on making her let him in. He knows her family life hasn't been the greatest and that's the reason she puts up walls but he's determined to get inside. He won't take no for an answer:"You know, I'm really sick of you shutting me out," he said in a low voice, tracing his thumbs over her cheekbones. Trapped by his stare, she gazed up at him, her mind wiped blank. It took her a moment to find her voice. "I haven't--" "Yeah, you have. But not anymore, because that s--- ends right here and now."Liam's had a wild side had his share of women but Talia is someone he could see himself getting serious with. He admires her service in the marines and her strong character.This story as I said before is really short but don't let that fool you. It packs a punch. The spice in this is done really well, feeling right for the story line. I don't know if I'd even call it spice, it's more of a scorcher! If you want a sweet story with a high level of HOT this is the one for you!Thank you to Netgalley and Carina Press for allowing me to read this.
