The first impression of Tia Kelly's Yours is that it seems like a light read; written in less than a hundred words, the story would seem too  compact, too brief to be substantial enough to  hold anyone's attention. But I can tell you right now that this story packs a lot in such a short amount of time. Tia has the ability place the  you in the moment in such a manner that you feel as if you're standing right beside the characters, experiencing every laugh, every tear, every fear, and every scintillating moment. And these characters feel real: their emotions manifest beautifully on the page, provoking the reader to experience those same emotions. Javier and his secrets as well as Theresa with her inhibitions drew me in and I found myself reading voraciously even though I knew it was going to come to an end sooner than I wanted it to. I literally couldn't put it down and was absolutely heartbroken when I came to the end. I just simply didn't want to leave this world that Tia has beautifully erected.If you're in the mood for some positively searing moments, some romance, and  a lot of Latin charm, then you'll definitely want  Yours.Phenomenal work, Ms. Kelly! I can't wait to read more!
