She took my heart into her hands and never gave it back.She … hands and never gave it back.
She owns me.
They say if it’s meant to be you’ll find a way, but when the unexpected happens and assumptions are made, can Shelby and Jaxon’s love survive the roadblocks that are about to be put in place.

Teen sex. . . hateful subject because you just don’t want it to be your child. The truth is the kids are getting younger and younger, what’s a parent to do? Well I certainly don’t condone what this mother was willing to do but on the same page that Shelby lived long enough to get pregnant with the way she talked to her mom (yeah I know but I am old school and it rankled). I do love this author and I love her YA/NA reads because she gives you the point of view without over dosing you on the teen angst. It means I can enjoy the read without pulling out the little bit of hair I have left (no I am not going bald I cut it short) sorry I regress. This is an amazing read and one that even though it’s a child having sex and yuppers cold cocked and busted by getting knocked up but there’s a lesson in there and it’s a lesson that is told with tact and a darn good story. This author does it with everything she puts out, she throws her whole heart and soul into this, you can tell with each page. Absolutely loved it and so will you.
A great story about young love and second chances. I really enjoyed this story. Sienna Grant did a wonderful job of depicting all the emotions so that you felt that you were right there with Shelby and Jaxson as they negotiated their roller coaster journey. I love that a couple so young could can make it work. Though, I would have liked an epilogue further into the future!! Loved it. Can’t wait to read more.
An emotional and beautifully told story..
Young people can face so many problems…Jaxon and Shelby are two such teenagers and their journey of discovery into adulthood is every bit as challenging and angst ridden as you would expect from a bittersweet YA romance..
The author has skilfully captured all the minor frustrations and upsets as well as the more serious dramas and obstacles that being young and wanting what the heart wants places in your path… I love these characters with their less than perfect lives who find each other only to discover that even when things seem perfect the road ahead may still prove impossibly hard to travel..
With her sensitive portrayal of what it is to be young and to have to face a grown up world of unhappy truths, the author has created an enthralling story with captivating characters who deserve a happy ending even if fate seems hell bent on preventing it from happening… an emotional and beautifully told story…I received an advanced copy of this book from the author
I received an advanced copy of this book and am choosing to review it This is a about a young adult couple that are learning to deal with the rocks that put in their way while they fall in love. It’s a quick and easy read. Really sweet and at the same time it would make you cry for them.
What is it about those bad boys? Shelby is the typical good girl, good grades, study’s hard. Then she meets bad boy Jaxon and these two fall deeply for each other.
Once again Sienna Grant gives us en emotional storyline that will leave you hooked from the start! I don’t want to give away to much, but know this book touches on a subject of teenage pregnancy, however it was told BEAUTIFULLY!! From the characters to the storyline it’s a must read!
I LOVED every moment of Meant to Be.
What a really lovely, coming of age story. This heart warming tale of two sweet souls, Shelby and Jaxon, has just been such a pleasure to read. They are, in many ways, an unlikely pairing, but they work and the dual POV ensures that you see right into their hearts and minds. A really good YA read.
Meant to Be
By Sienna Grant
5 shining stars
I absolutely love Shelby and Jaxon’s story! Another masterpiece by Sienna. I devoured this book. This story kept my interest the entire way through. Highly recommended.
I just absolutely love Sienna’s books and this one is another firm favourite of mine.
Meant To Be is a story of young love, two teenagers who you know are MEANT TO BE, you can feel the love for each other as you read this story. I instantly fell in love with these characters and throughout the book I was rooting for their happily ever after.
But what should be a simple fall in love Romance, never happens like that. Obstacles get in their way and their have to fight to be together. Can these two lovebirds make their way back to each and find the happiness they so desperately deserve? Or will the twists and turns tear them apart?
Sienna is undoubtedly one of my top authors to read, each book she writes…she captures me with her beautiful words. This story has again proven how amazing she is. An outstanding 5 read and one where you just fall instantly in love and feel yourself smiling as you read. Loved it from the first word.
Meant To Be by Sienna Grant
What a beautiful young adult book that hits a topic that a lot of people don’t like to talk about.
Shelby is sixteen, good girl next door type, good grades, good friend with a controlling mother.
Jaxon is eighteen, bad boy type, broken home with a drunk mother, wrong side of the tracks kind of guy.
The first time they see each other there is an attraction that they can’t ignore. They become a couple but things get complicated and misunderstanding happen. Can they over come the obstacles and find away to be together again? Being a teenager isn’t easy but with all the things thrown at them they get stronger and love deeper.
My emotions were all over the place while reading this book, but well worth the tears. Thank you Sienna for a wonderful read.
Wow Sienna Grant you blow me away with each book I read of yours.
Meant to be is an awesome easy read. I read this book in one sitting. Jax and Shelby are young and very much in love. Jax comes from a bad background and Shelby is the clever girl with good grades. But as life has it there always has to be some bad in a good romance. Jax is gone for a while (Not leaving a spoiler) but on his return comes back to realise his life is going to change forever for the good.
I would love to rate Meant to be more than a 5 star if possible. If you have not read any of Sienna Grant books do yourself a favour and start as soon as possible. Sienna is an awesome authour and I just love all the books.
Why is it the bad boys are the ones you aren’t supposed to want, but they are the ones you should be with? This story of young love proves it. Shelby is the typical good girl, good grades, always wanting to please everyone, then along comes Jax and blows all that to the wind. Jax is the boy who has a crappy upbringing, bad neighborhood, you know what I mean. But the chemistry between them is palpable and nothing will keep them apart, or at least that is how it is supposed to go. Jax and Shelby knew they should be together, but they had so many obstacles in their way. When an event happens that can change everything between them, you can’t help but root for them, they belong together, but sometimes life gets in the way and things don’t work out the way you want them to. As they try to deal with these obstacles, they start to drift apart, but you know in your heart that they belong together and hope that this author takes the story in that direction. This story has so many facets to it and tells a story of what is truly going on in this world today and it will pull at your heartstrings. I was hooked from the very first sentence to the very last word. Let me tell you, you will need tissues, trust me, my emotions were all over the place. But when a book makes me cry, I know it is truly a great story and that everyone should read it. So, please, do yourself a favor and read this incredible story.
Jax and Shelby’s story tugged hard on my heartstrings! The turmoil and angst, their hopeful young love, sigh. Beautifully written !
A 5 star must read story.
I love the topic of Meant to Be it’s realistic and a story that many teenagers face on a daily basis not only is it a story about young love and their struggles together but it’s also a story of true life struggles that as individuals they have to overcome it touched my heart and I loved it.
Well done to Sienna Grant on yet again another heartfelt amazing book.
Hooked from the very beginning!! A very emotional story that touches on a very sensitive subject but the author told it perfectly. Was absolutely unputdownable!!
I really enjoyed this book.
I was hooked from start to finish
and couldn’t put it down.
I will be recommending this book to family and friends
Shelby & Jaxson’s story took me back to when I was 16, young and facing one of the hardest decisions in life, you make the wrong choice that can stay with you forever, you make the choice you want and you can have one of the hardest jobs in the world ahead.
Shelby and Jax are young, in love, both have parent problems in different ways.
Lust turns to love, then their lives are about to change forever.
Decisions are hard made harder by not having support, interference makes bad choices with them having to pay the price.
Can they make a life when their up against the odds?
Will they get an HEA?
GREAT STORY!!!
I absolutely loved this book. Sienna’s characters are remarkable. Max and Shelby may be young, but their story is so touching. I love when a couple finds their HEA, and Sienna delivers just that. This is one story you don’t want to miss.
