Guard My Heart by A.J. SummerI received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.This is the debut novel from author A.J. Summer and it is truly a work of art.  This book is vivid with detail, it will break your heart, have you on the edge of your seat, make you fall in love, and keep you up late at night reading.  Kyle and Mia are twins and finishing up their senior year of high school.  Their father has passed away and their mother remarried a drunk and abusive man.  Every night as Kyle goes to bed with his door open, he hears Mia pushing her dresser in front of her door to block any unwelcome visits by her step-father.  With little money, and not the brightest future, Kyle looks for any opportunity to help out his sister and his mother, including being a drug runner.  The book follows a dual point of view via Kyle and Mia, but in a refreshing twist, it follows Kyle for seven days and then Mia for seven days.  Seven days to make one choice that will change your entire world, seven days that will make you fall in love.I loved this first novel from Ms. Summer, I am nervous to say too much because I don't want to ruin any of the details or twists for anyone.  She did a fantastic job of storytelling, and painting a picture of two teens that you hope will survive their odds.  This isn't a long read, and sometimes a quick one is just what you need!  It is the first in the series, and it will leave you in tears with a book hangover wanting to know what is coming next.I noticed several grammar and spelling issues, but honestly only two or three in one novel is minimal.  I was disappointed in the ending, but in a good way, because I can't wait to see what is coming next.This is a YA read for anyone 18 and over, due to some language and sexual content.  If you are seeking a quick read with some great drama, suspense, and a bit of bittersweet love, then please one click this one!  You won't regret it.  Now, it's your turn!  I want to know what you thought of the book!  If you read it, please send me a message!  Thank you very much to A.J. Summer for the opportunity to review this beautiful book.
