Kyland Kindle Edition

Sometimes I just want to read a sweet romance and this book was a real gem. A story of love gained and lost, of sacrifice, heartbreak and happiness - I loved every moment of it.Kyland and Tenleigh are both from poverty stricken families and both have suffered loses hard to imagine. The are still young (17 going on 18) but given their circumstances, they had to grow up pretty darn quick. Kyland fights hard against his attraction for Tenleigh but when it comes to real true love, no one stands a chance.I don't want to give any spoilers but can say that Kyland is a real hero in my eyes and he broke my freaking heart. There may have being a moment when I just wanted to take my kindle and toss it but at the same time I just sort of held my breath and read on. There is a bit of OW drama but no cheating. This book is emotional, written well and can be read as a standalone - ends with a hea. It is a YA contemporary romance that does contain quite a bit of steam (not recommended for those under 18).I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy a sweet but steamy romance as well as those you enjoy having the "feels" when reading.

The author of this wonderful book which is a series of books MS Mia Sheridan in American literature hero she brings the true story to Heart she wrote these books back in 2015 I think and they are still relevant to this date 2019 she is an American Hero coal mines little by little are being closed down and Appalachia is still poor poorest in the country so she did capture the true essence of what it is to be poor in this country! Facebook made me cry so much she really is a true story teller she just speaks to her books and for that I thank her some of her books are sexual but kyland was an excellent book and I'll never forget it I'm going to buy it my two daughters 1 is 38 and 1 is going to be 40 enjoy it and pass it on to their daughters because it shows the struggle of people wanting to go to school wanting to win to make something of themselves and I want my grandchildren to never forget that nothing is free in life you have to fight for what you can get and to never forget where you came from!

“And I had to wonder, should a seventeen-year-old girl be so tired? Just tired down to my bones … weary in my very soul?“Although I didn’t grow up nearly as poor as the people in this story, I could totally identify with the people of this town. So many people struggling to make ends meet, keeping so much to themselves, and having that small sense of pride that keeps them from asking for help. This is a type of people I never envisioned being featured in a romance novel, but somehow I’m glad they did.Kyland and Tenleigh are both competing for the same scholarship; a scholarship that will allow them to leave this poor town and never have to return. These two find their way to one another through a series of out of place events that cause them to invest their hearts in one another “And I fell in love. Deep, hard, utter, and complete love. And he was still leaving. And he still wouldn’t look back.” Both had the desire to move on, to move out of this place, but both couldn’t keep their hearts locked away.This is a story of sacrifice, choice, pride, and ultimately love. I was absolutely enthralled by this story. I was aggravated, yes, but this was a story that seemed totally real. The struggles they faced, the choices necessary to keep going, and ultimately the sacrifices made to ensure a future were perfect, for me. A top read, for sure.

What an absolute amazing way to pop my Mia cherry. I have no rational explanation as to why it has taken me so long to get any of her books, except a TBR list as long as my arm & a kindle stuffed to the brim of books I've bought but never seem to find the time to get too. Sooooo I'm just gonna put it out there - what in gods creation has kept me away for reals,,Like omg I devoured this book in one mighty sitting, I cried, I laughed & I cried some more.. Amazingly good. Beautifully enthralling & stunningly powerful from start to finish, Kyland & Tenleigh have taken me one hell of an emotional journey & I know for a fact, I'll not come back quickly from it.I adore 2nd Chance stories of love, laced with hope & fuelled by passion, what I wasn't expecting is the earth shattering, heart wrenching feeling of helplessness that I felt deep in my very soul as their story unfolded. Pain, loss, sorrow - it swallowed me whole, drowning me in the raw intensity of what this pair not only endured, but sacrificed & ultimately survived.Selfless love at its best. The deepest, unending love I've ever read, The kind that tests the human spirit, but brings an utter feeling of peace & contentment knowing you have loved hard enough to change the worst of circumstances into best, because loving someone IS that easy. Come the end my tears dried, my heart stuttered & my mind was lost to the feelings that this pair fuelled. I can't even put into words just how much Mia's words brought me to my knees, but I can say I am thankful for their story, their love & their hope,

Mia Sheridan always hits the mark. I was so pleased to see that she had a new release and couldn't wait to read it, having read and enjoyed everything else she's ever written. I wasn't disappointed. Every story she has written is unique, whilst also being heart warming and heart rending in equal measures. The grammar, dialogue and editing are faultless and every character, no matter how big or small a part they play, is intricately built for the reader so that they get to know them and live the story with them...with every emotion involved.The quality of her writing is enough to bring me back for more. The time taken to get it just right shines through, and I for one appreciate this.All good things to those who wait.This author's a class act...consistent quality story telling at its best.

I love Mia Sheridan. I have read a few of her books now and I enjoy every single one. Kyland didn't disappoint. It was a crazy rollercoaster ride of emotion from start to finish.Our two main characters Tenleigh and Kyland are from a poor neighbourhood and don't know where their next meal is coming from. We soon see that Kyland selfless when we discover he would provide food for a homeless person in need than feed himself. We see how hard the struggle is and the only thing that keeps both our hero and heroine going is their dream of winning the scholarship so they can get out of the place they live.Then they meet each other and suddenly everything changes as their priorities shift. This is when the real rollercoaster begins as we feel their struggle to avoid falling in love but ending up deeper than ever.I really enjoyed this story. Both Kyland and Tenleigh are very likeable characters and you soon lose yourself deep into their story and the whole time I was reading I was sat on the edge of my seat with my heart in my mouth.The story is predictable but that doesn't stop you enjoying the story - you spend the whole time hoping your right.A wonderful of second chance romance that steals your heart, stamps on it and puts it back together bit by fragile bit.

Kyland (A Sign of Love) by Mia Sheridan4 stars!!“Because I loved you so desperately. I still do. Because I couldn’t leave you here.”Mia Sheridan is one of my favourite authors, she is an auto-buy for me and I don’t even need to read a synopsis. I know that when I open a Mia Sheridan book it is going to be beautiful, it will be emotional, it will leave a mark on me and I will be thinking about it for a long time and Kyland is no exception.This is a book about poverty, hope, friendship, sacrifice, courage, love and forgiveness. It is hard to believe that even in the world we currently live in that there are still people in this world that live in an extreme state of poverty, even in America with all its high rises and world leading companies there are still little rural villages that suffer immensely.Kyland and Tenleigh live in one of these little villages, they live on a mountain in trailers, living hand to mouth, day to day. Some days they cannot eat, they may not have warmth or electricity but at the end of the day, they make the most of what they do have even though it is not much. One thing that I loved was the sense of community, they may not have much but what they did, they shared. Everyone was there for each other and it just goes to show that “rich” does not necessarily mean money, but you can be “rich” with your love and your actions.“They were good people – good people who barely had a pot to piss in. And yet they were offering up anything they had to give.”Both Tenleigh and Kyland are anxious to get out of their village and for people like them there is only one option and that is to win the annual educational scholarship that is given to the leading student. Both Kyland and Tenleigh have been aiming to win this scholarship, each for their own unique reason, but for both of them, it is all they have thought about and strived for their whole way through college.I absolutely adored Kyland; he was perfect in every way, totally selfless, would do anything for anyone and tried to do the best by everyone, even if it meant him making some extremely difficult sacrifices. Kyland had admired Tenleigh from afar for a long time, but knowing that as soon as he won that scholarship he was getting out of town he didn’t want to fall in love, didn’t want a relationship where he would ultimately leave someone behind and the last thing he wanted to do was upset Tenleigh, so the odd meaningless random hook-up would have to do for now.“He winked and my hormones went a little wonky.”Tenleigh’s home life was difficult at best, her mother having mental health issues was basically a child and Tenleigh and her sister were basically her carers. They both worked hard to keep what little food they did have on the table, their trailer warm and to keep their mother in the medication that she desperately needed. Tenleigh was another beautiful character, inside and out. Totally selfless, trying to do her best and making the most out of the crap hand that she had been dealt. The scholarship was her meal ticket out of Appalachia and would also give her the means to get her family out of there too.“All my life I was just a nothing, a nobody. My life was small and worthless. And it hurt so badly.”Their paths cross many times, living on the same mountain, with very little else to do and no other places to go. A friendship develops with ease between these two and you know that for both of them their feelings run a lot deeper. Both have their inner turmoil, have their conscience and their own inner demons to battle but sometimes when you meet “the one,” fate has other ideas. The trouble is will either of them be strong enough to forego their desires, ultimately resulting in the destruction of their life goals or has fate dealt them an entirely different set of cards?“A beautiful girl with a spirit so bright I wanted to squint when I looked at her was not going to derail me now.”As with all Mia Sheridan reads, this one hits hard. Her imperfect characters are always perfect in their own way, her subjects may not be the generic run of the mill but that is what makes her books all the more enjoyable, you know that you are going to get something totally different. One thing you will always know though is that it will be beautiful, thought provoking, romantic and well written. While this may not be my favourite Mia Sheridan read her characters have still managed to embed themselves into my heart and my thoughts. Since finishing I find myself reflecting back and thinking about them, their hardships, their battles, and their day to day life that would destroy anyone, yet for these two they flourished. My only niggle with regards to this book was for me the ending felt a bit rushed and I would have liked to have seen more, maybe that is me being greedy but I just felt that their story was really just beginning.“My Kentucky girl.”

Okay, it’s reached the point where I see a new Mia Sheridan book and automatically 1 click it. I’ve yet to read a book by her I didn’t enjoy. And Kyland was no exception. And yet at the same time I find her books extremely difficult to review, perhaps because I really like them and am trying to avoid the fangirl type “zomg, I love it, best book ever!!!” type of review.I didn’t think Kyland was as detailed as the other books I’ve read by her. There seemed to be a lot of jumping forwards in time, whether a few days, weeks or even years. Which made the story a bit choppy and we didn’t seem to get a whole lot of detail other than Kyland and Tenleigh admiring each other. It would have been nice to learn a bit more about the community in general, a bit more about the characters in relation to things other than each other. I know the romance is sort of the whole point of the book but those things matter. To me at least. And those things have been there in the other books I’ve read by Mia Sheridan.That said, I did enjoy the book. It was the sort of thing I’ve come to expect from the author, a sweet love story with likeable and believable characters. I think the struggles the characters faced just to get by were well described and I love that there’s enough description for you to picture the scene but not so much that you’re bogged down with it.I found the plot quite predictable and saw the plot twist coming a mile off. But to be honest, I get so drawn in that it doesn’t really matter. I genuinely like the characters and the authors writing style and I find these books really grip me while still being a nice, easy read. And I really like that they’re not all about the sex. Looking forward to the next book in the Signs of Love series.
