Blurb:
Skye followed her long time boyfriend to
Seattle for their first year of college, but he dumped her
after only a week.
The relationship brought only pain and destruction in Skye's
life, and yet, she
can't bring herself to open up and live her
life.
"What if I am already broken into
pieces?"
She hates to be touched, hiding under her
oversized shirts and behind her wild frizzy hair. Even her
bubbly roommate
can't reach her. And yet
...
"I'm the guy who knows how you can hurt
so much that your insides feel like they're cut and
bleeding."
The tall, handsome, and tattooed TA in her
psychology class changes everything when he literally
collides with her and
confronts her. For the first time in a long time, she wants
to try and open up
to this guy whose dark, intense eyes can't hide his own pain
despite his
dazzling smile getting to
her.
However, just when she's starting to live
again, her ex-boyfriend comes back, breaking her time and
time again, making it
all the more
complicated.
She wants to fight for herself and for this
building thing with the TA, even when he pushes her away,
but can two broken
people patch each other
up?
"I never thought colliding with someone
could change lives, but it is
possible."
“Patch Up is intense, riveting,
heartbreakingly sad at times, angsty, heartwarming, and
inspirational. I was
hooked from the start. Had I not passed out in the wee hours
of the morning, I
would have read Parch up straight through, it is THAT
good.”

Excerpt:
(The first
meeting)
Without paying attention to my surroundings,
I turn to my left to walk toward the row closer to the door
where a seat is
available. I take a step and collide with a hard body,
almost toppling me over
on the ground for the second time in less than an hour. A
strong hand grips me
firmly by the forearm. My body stiffens and my breath
catches in my throat.
It’s as if I can’t move besides yanking my arm free without
looking up to see
who I collided with.
“Are you all right?” he asks me in a deep and
calm voice.
My eyes wander from my red Converse to his
dark boots. I have to calm down. I’m being ridiculous. Calm
down. I take a deep
breath and look up slowly. Long, muscled legs in beat up
dark blue jeans, an
old black leather jacket open over a dark grey V-neck
sweater that showcases an
impressive tall body with broad shoulders and finally,
longish and messy black
hair, perfect straight nose, full lips, high cheekbones and
expressive soft
dark eyes that lock with my bluish-greyish ones. He looks
older with his goatee
perfectly trimmed. A perfect hot mess many girls would say.
I’m just
intimidated by this stranger,
though.
“I’m fine,” I reply, my voice even. I push
away some of my untamed locks and curse my auburn frizzy
hair that is always
all over the
place.
What other reviewers had to say
-
“The
romance is slow-building and that makes
it feel more realistic. The storyline is strong and holds
its own without the
romance and then the romance is just the cherry on the
cake.”
Laura Carter
“At
the end of this book I was crying hard
and wished I could reach in and save Skye from her
fate.”
Author Karen
Swart
“You
reach into the mind of the main
character, Skye, and find yourself looking at the world very
differently. The
emotions I experience reading this novel was epic. One
moment I would be so
sad, and then over to smiling and then boom,
I hated someone.”
