When hemispheres collide…

It started out innocent.

He was my older brother’s best friend. The teen who built sandcastles and splashed in the waves with me when I was a little girl. We’d collect seashells and build moats around our castles to protect the imaginary princess within. He was my Jake. I was his princess.

His summer visits to Australia became less frequent after scoring his first record deal, but I never forgot him. While the multiplatinum singer-songwriter traveled the world, melting hearts and panties with his lyrics, I filled a notebook with his name.

Everything changed when Jake flew in for my brother’s thirtieth birthday party. At eighteen, I’d come a long way from the girl he remembered. One lingering touch was all it took to ignite us. I kissed him, but he walked away. He was still on tour, I was about to start college, and let’s not forget my hotheaded brother.

But after graduation, when a New York internship opportunity lands me in the Brooklyn brownstone across from his, the ocean between us is replaced with a street.

Jake thinks he can’t have me—we’re different as earth and sky—but I’ll prove him wrong. Those five years of distance only deepened my ache. His demons don’t scare me. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted, and I know I can make him happy if he’ll let me.

I'm determined to try. After all, his old sweatshirt is not the only thing I’ve held on to for him…

When earth meets sky on the horizon, Jake Bennett, the King of Ballads, will be mine.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Horizon is the third book in the Compass series by Aria Wyatt. The first two books focused on Wyatt and Lena. In this book, we get to read about Jake and Isla.

I love the first two books so I was super excited to read this one.

And damn, I love this book.

First of all, I love the couple. Jake and Isla's reunion and developing relationship is riveting and charming. They certainly bond well and make for a strong couple. But damn, they have some tough things to deal with.

I am impressed with some of the issues that the author addresses. Anxiety, OCD, lupus, organ transplant, and extreme period pain are all illustrated in an impressive manner. Everything is written with knowledge, care, and compassion. And it makes for some amazingly emotional moments.

Unseen illnesses are at the heart of the issue for these two characters. Both suffer on a daily basis from issues that effect them immensely. I enjoy that they are understanding of each other's issues and can relate.

Horizon is a great read. Everything about this Aria Wyatt tale works for me. It touched me to the core and I felt every emotion throughout. I can't recommend it enough.
