There once was a boy, and I loved him.
Logan Francis Silverstone was the complete opposite of me. I danced while he stood still. He was quiet, and I was always running my mouth. He struggled to find a smile while I refused to frown.
The night I saw the darkness that truly lived inside of him, I couldn’t look away.
We were broken together, yet somehow whole. We were wrong together, but always right. We were the stars that burned across the night sky, searching for a wish, praying for better tomorrows.
Until the day I lost him. I threw us away with one hasty decision—a decision that changed us forever.
There once was a boy, and I loved him.
And for a few breaths, a few whispers, a few moments, I think he loved me, too.

Book #2 in the Romance Elements Series.
Complete standalone.
I was provided a review copy; this did not influence my opinion of the book.
Gut-wrenching, rip your heart out, good, Brittainy C. Cherry proves she can write the hell out of angst.
❝I met my best friend in the checkout lane of the grocery store. And my life was never the same again.❞
‘The Fire Between High & Low‘ was not an easy book for me to read. There was so much angst, it hit me so hard in the feels, that I had to read it in chunks. I had to take breaks. I even knew at 4% that this book was going to wreck me, and it did. Brittainy C. Cherry is masterful at writing angst. She is like a puppeteer who pulls at your heartstrings until you have no choice but to feel. I sniffled, I cried, I bawled big, fat, ugly tears. It wasn’t within my power to NOT feel empathy for these characters and their situation. This made their HEA so much more powerful, too. I will tell you, if this book didn’t have some sort of HEA, I would have gone into an emotional rage. Just kidding … not really.
❝Love wasn’t a blessing, it was a curse, and once you invited it into your heart, it only left scorch marks.❞
Alyssa (High) and Logan (Lo) came from opposite sides of the track. Each had different interests. Each lived very different lives. They were opposite in most every way that should have mattered. But their spirits were the same. Each was damaged from their parents — whom I hated with every fiber of my parental being! Each was lonely and desired to be loved.
❝She happily sat in church, while I smoked pot around the corner. She believed in God while I danced with demons. She had a future while I somehow seemed trapped in the past.❞
What started out as childhood friendship eventually turned into teenage love. They depended on each other for their mental well-being. Spending time with one another, laughing with and supporting each other, they were inseparable. High needed Lo as much as she needed him. And then due to lies and manipulation, Lo left. Leaving High to figure out how to live without him.
Fortunately, this is written in dual POV. I don’t think this would have worked any other way. Because when Lo acted like an ass, we eventually found out why.
❝People always have opinions on lives that they don’t live-just keep your head up high and avoid listening to their bullshit.❞
‘The Fire Between High & Low’ is a second-chance romance that is guaranteed to bring you to your knees and then raise you back up to the clouds.
❝…home wasn’t a certain place; home was a feeling from the ones for whom you cared most, a feeling of peace that calmed the wildfire of your soul.❞
