Kenzlee Mitchell was raised in a fairyland of the rich and privileged. She had a perfect life until, one night, her brother overdosed and she was forced to re-evaluate what was important in life. But just when she thinks she can finally move on from the tragedy, her father loses everything, and she's shipped off to her uncle's, making her their problem, until her parents got their act together. Kenzlee is, suddenly, faced with a new life, and that new life includes a new school, new friends, and a new future. Luckily, she has her cousin, Alexandria, to help see her through her final year of high school. However, all that changes when Kenzlee accidentally runs into Talon Draven and her life is upended, once again. But this time, even Alexandria can't help her.

Talon Draven can count the amount of people he cared about on one hand, and he liked it that way. He didn't have time for distractions in his life, and he didn't welcome them. He had a mother and sister to help support, and that was enough responsibility for any 18-year-old. He went to school, minded his business, and fought in the underground fighting scene for the cash he needed to help keep food on the table. But then, one day-as he's minding his own business-he's run over by a goddamn Disney princess, and his entire life's focus shifts into something he is not prepared for. Staring into the face of the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, nothing will stop him from possessing her. Even if it means he has to rearrange his entire future to have her.

Kenzlee is trying to prepare for an uncertain future, while Talon is trying to prepare for an unequivocal future. But the one thing they can agree on? Staying away from one another is a lot harder than it should be.

Spoiler Alert: There's no lake in the town of Lakeside.

4 (Muito bom)

A capa do livro nos leva a crer que seja uma história de sequestro ou algo do tipo, mas não é. Mesma autora de "facing the enemy" , livro que também ficou na minha lista de favoritos, "the Heavier the chains traz a mesma abordagem onde os protagonistas são estudantes finalizando o ensino médio em vistas de ir para a faculdade.
A Kenzlee chega nova na cidade pra ficar na casa dos tios, devido a problemas familiares e vai para e escola e conhece Talon que participa de lutas no submundo pra juntar dinheiro e pagar a faculdade da irmã enquanto a mãe dele trabalha pra pagar os gastos de casa.
Ele é aquele estilo loucamente possessivo e se apaixona pela Kenzlee praticamente na primeira vez que esbarra nela, mas fica meio atordoado e resistente aos sentimentos porque a última coisa que ele quer no momento é se envolver, pois esta focado em juntar dinheiro para bancara a faculdade da irmã. A Kenzlee também resiste no começo, mas ele fica marcando em cima e não deixa nenhum menino se aproximar dela. Aquele tipo, sabe ? Vc é minha e de mais ninguém.
Se você já leu "facing the enemy" e gostou com certeza vai gostar desse também.
