On her first day of school she is brought in to class by the principle so everyone in class is trying to figure out why he was there then she walked in. She is introduced to the class and the principle ask Katie to show her around the school. Katie being who is always is walks up to her say hi and gives her a big hug and brings her back to sit by her. From the second she has walked into the class room on guy can’t seem to keep his eyes off her. His name is Josh and for some reason and he has no idea why she just has this thing about her that he wants to meet her. While she is sitting next to Katie in class she in introduced to Katie’s boyfriend Mike. They all talk but Josh is not about to get anywhere near Mel. After some time Mel become able to open up a little more to Mike and Katie and she tells time some about her life of living with her mother and why she moved to live with her father. When this happens Mike becomes the big brother Mel never had before. Always protecting Mel and making she that all the guys at the school stay away from her. Josh has tried many times to talk to her but she is just too scared from everything that has happen in her past. Josh tries one more time to talk to Mel and doesn’t go so well so Mike makes it known that ALL guys are to stay away from Mel period to include his best friend Josh.A few weeks go by and Josh still can’t keep her off his mind. He is always watching her from afar so as to not piss off Mike. Then one day while at lunch Katie comes over to Josh to talk to him. Josh is not sure what she is up to so he keeps is cool. She asks him a few questions and he gives her the answer she is looking for. He asks where she is so he can go talk to her. Katie says the Mel is not in the lunch room but in the library. That was is Josh was up and out the door in search to find Mel so he could talk to and find out what is about her that keep pulling him to her. He walks into the library and she is not in there. So he decides to see if she has left to head off to get back with Katie and Mike. As he walks out of the library he see something that gets his blood boiling and he runs up to see who has their hands on his girl. As he gets closer he can see that she is scared but doesn’t get to close because the guy that is holding Mel really tight my her arm and he didn’t want to see her hurt. He ask them were they are going. The lady says she take her if she want and he can’t stop her. He tried to move closer to see if he can help. Then someone from about him tells the people with Mel that they can’t be on campus because they needed to go to the office first. They let of Mel and her mother and her boyfriend this time walk off. Mel drops to the ground crying and can’t stop. Mike and Katie happen to be walking out and see her crying. Katie runs to her to find out what has just happen. Josh finally gets close enough and say he want to make sure she is okay. They will not allow him to talk to her. They just keep telling to wait and he’ll be about to talk to her. They don’t allow him to talk to her ever. Josh cares so much for her that he just wants to make sure she is ok.I am going to stop here. There is so much more to the story line that I don’t want to give away in my review. Pick up a copy of Embracing Love to find out what happens with Katie, Mike, Josh, and Melanie. Embracing Love coming in Early 2014 and I can’t wait to read it.
