Have you ever wished your life could be different? Do you wish that it could have more meaning, more direction? Do you wish that your thoughts could be more than just thoughts? Feelings could be more than just love and hate and pain?Do you ever think of death coming into your life and turning it upside down? Have you ever felt so close to the edge that you weren’t sure if you could pull yourself … pull yourself back from the darkness within? Have you ever loved someone so much it felt like they changed you somehow?
These are all question at seventeen years old I asked myself every day. Through all the pain, loss, and love that someone can feel over a seventeen-year span. All of these feelings for so long really does make me wonder… how much is too much? How can I go on? Do I even want to?
My name is Cambrea Breaux, and this is my story.
My mom couldn’t care for me. My father was a worthless drunk. Where do kids like me go when we have no place? The system. or IYAS. My teenage years were supposed to be spent hanging with my friends, going out, falling in love and getting my heart broken, right? Well, that was far from what my teenage years were like.
For nearly two years I was made to do things. Things that my guardian knew better than to have me do. But he did it anyway. I saw no way out of the situation I was in, but to deal with it until I was eighteen, and free. I couldn’t wait to be on my own and away from the Traces.
And when I thought…. well, I met “him.” Everette Henston. The guy that made life worth living again.
Everette-
I had my whole world in my lap just then. I was flying high. Higher than ever before. I don’t know how or why Camie stumbled into my life, when she did, albeit, I don’t regret the first day she fell at my feet.
I didn’t feel anything for her then.
I still told myself that load of crap.
I was only going to help her out of the situation she was in. Loving her was not part of the equation. She needed too much. Feared too much. Then she loved me more than I could handle. I fell in love for the very first time with the most fascinating person I had ever met.
Then “they” came for her and Camie’s life flipped once more.

This is the first book I have read from the writer. This was definitely an interesting book. The ending just wasn’t fair and I can’t wait to read the next one. Yes it is a cliff hanger sort of. Cambrea is a girl of the system. She ends up living with a terrible family. She tries her best to make it through the situation she is handed. One day she meets Everette. Everette is someone that cares for her and knows that there is far more going on with her than she is letting anyone know. But will the truth hurt more than just keeping it hidden? Will Cambrea and Everette become more than friends and find happiness? This was quite the storyline. I loved the characters and the chemistry between Cambrea and Everette. It was definitely a page turning book full of moments where I wanted to throw my kindle. My Jordan grabbed my attention with this one and has me wanting more. I must have the next one .
This story is so well written and with so much emotion my first from this author and it blew me away, the feeling you will have will have your heart on a rollarcoaster ride with heartache, madness and a whole lot of sadness and makes you want to just jump in and fix it all. Cambrea in the foster system and her life literally sucks and is scary and when she meets Rett a whole lot of changes happen and I loved their courage, Rhett I loved him heck I cheered him on and hoped for the best. I did not see that ending coming at all so I am waiting on pins and needles for the second book. Just phenomenal theres no other words beautifully written and spaced out so we get the whole picture and I loved it.
This book was incredible. It had so much depth, was written beautifully and will no doubt tug at your heart strings. It takes you on a emotional journey that you can’t get enough of, and this is only the first part of the duet. I absolutely can’t wait for part two.
I voluntarily reviewed a advanced readers copy of this book
This is one of those books that will just emotionally gut you. As beautiful as it is ugly and as sweet as it is painful, I do not think that you can ever fully prepare yourself for all the emotions that you are going to go through during your reading of this book. Anger, sadness, frustration, disgust, horror, hope and fear will consume you as Cambrea and Everette’s story unfolds. This is book one of a duet, so be aware that you will have to wait foir the conclusion in book two. A simply remarkable read!
I love, love discovering new authors especially when their books have such a touchy and sensitive theme to it that it leaves a huge impact on me.
Misplaced really had me downright emotional from the very first page to the very last one.
The triggers that this book is based on are very devastating and heartbreaking and what Camie went through was something I wouldn’t wish on any child or teenager. You never know what to expect when you’re put in the system and to have to endure such abuse is no damn joke.
This author did an exceptionally well done job with the way she wrote this book. There are characters you want to hate with all of your heart and then there’s characters that you fall in love with. Everett is basically every woman’s dream guy, he’s rich, devastatingly handsome, sweet as pie and a bachelor.
When Everett meets Cambrea he instantly feels a connection to her. He can’t explain why he’s so drawn to her especially because she’s still a kid, well she’s almost 18 years old. He knows she’s in trouble and tries to get her to talk to him and tell him what’s going, but she just can’t seem to tell anyone about the stuff she endures in the hell house she was put in.
As months pass, Cambrea starts to confide in Rett and little by little she believes that he can rescue her from that worthless family. He promises he’s going to protect and take care of her.
The turn this book takes at the end really had me in pin and needles and now I’m desperately waiting for the next book because there are questions that need to be answered and I’m hoping I’ll get what I’m hoping in the 2nd book.
Rett and Cambrea have just started their lives, now I need to know where the next book will take us.
Unbelievable read!!
This was a new to me author and she completely blew me away.
The blurb had me hooked and the book itself did not disappoint.
A lot of this book was hard to read, child abuse is sadly far too common this day and age, but Jordan told the story with grace and respect so you couldn’t look away, even when some points during the story you wanted to.
Cambrea is a strong heroine, made even stronger with Rett by her side so I am waiting on tenterhooks for the next part of the duet.
Would give more stars if I could.
This is the first part of a new duet from this talented author, and what a fantastic masterpiece this is! This is a well written flawless story with a well thought out in-depth plot which is an emotional roller coaster journey throughout. This is a heartbreaking story which spans a two year period of a horrendous life in the foster system, and what it takes to survive. I was totally captivated throughout and I cannot wait for the second book in this duet.
Wow what amazing emotional read that will have you heart on a ride. This is a amazing book . Can’t wait for the next book in this series. This is amazing emotional read that will have you feeling like you are right their in the story and see everything throughout their eyes.
