Book Description
Her heart, as delicate as glass. His love, as strong as steel. Can either survive life and death?
Hardy Bradford is an eighteen year old football phenomenon who has the girl, the school, the town and the future in the palm of his hand. His life is all mapped out for him, right down to who he’ll marry and how he’ll become a professional football player. It doesn't seem to matter that Hardy would’ve chosen a much different life if it was up to him. But it's not. At least not until his Miracle comes along.
The first time Hardy laid eyes on Miracle St. James, he didn’t know who she was, but he knew she was something different and that he’d never get her out of his head. And he didn’t. Now, months later, Hardy’s world is turned upside down when Miracle shows up in his class, stealing his heart and forever changing the course of his life.
Miracle’s sick. Very sick. And Hardy might be losing the only thing in his life that has ever mattered. How much is too much to sacrifice for the one you love? For just a little more time? For just one more chance? Can Hardy be the hero Miracle needs? Or is it Hardy that needs saving?

Review
(Thank you to the Author for providing a Review Copy!)
This was a great story that brought two young adults together, and they find support from each other, and a love that is undeniable; it's a good feeling sort of love that was just wonderful to read. The characters, Hardy and Miracle were well written characters that really made them believable. Hardy faces the stress of basically doing what his Father wants him to do, and honestly he's just such a good guy and would definitely be one to keep. Miracle faces a health challenge that personally made me ache for her. The feelings she had, of wanting to stay strong, to live, to experience more things, to love, and other stuff just really made me like her even more, because she was and can be so relatable, so these two characters were developed pretty well!
The story was very nice. I enjoyed reading their journey of newfound love, heartache, jealously, possible loss, and oh my, just much more. There are a little obstacles along the way, that does threaten Hardy's and Miracles's newfound happiness, but I just found this story to have an ending that I sorta wished there was more to, but all in all, this is one Novel that just needs to be read, and I believe, you will just love it! :)
My Rating: 4/5

About M. Leighton
I was born and raised in the United States, and I’ve lived in several of the fabulous fifty. Though I currently live in the deep South, I spent much of my childhood up North and hope to return there one day. A few other things about me: I believe that sometimes you have to look really, REALLY hard to find the good in people, but it's there. I believe that I'm shrinking (I swear five years ago I was two inches taller). I believe my husband is quite possibly one of the most amazing men in the entire world (I can't be sure because I haven't met all of them). I believe coffee and chocolate, when combined, could be the basis for world peace. I believe that Jesus rocks and communism doesn’t. I believe that white makes me look fat and black collects lint. I believe summer's too hot, winter's too cold and fall was made for football. I like dogs better than cats and the first movie in a trilogy is invariably the best. But most of all, I believe that love conquers all.

I love the very first line: Her heart, as delicate as glass. His love, as strong as steel. I would buy the book right from those two sentences. Great review, as always.
