Short description
Ethan
Parker gets up every day, surviving the only way he knows how—alone.Orphaned as a child and forced into the child welfare system, he knows better than to depend on anyone but himself. He’s learned trust is a word used all too often, but rarely earned.
Ethan believes that his best chance for maintaining a simple and solitary existence is to live by a simple mantra: Don’t get involved. Keep things simple.
Take care of yourself!
When a young woman moves in next door, Ethan is forced to reevaluate his beliefs. He tries to keep his distance, but his new neighbor’s infectious smile and outlook on life leave him struggling with the decision of living the life he knows, or taking a chance on the unexpected.
As Ethan develops a relationship with his new neighbor, Emily, he realizes nothing is simple and learns that life is about more than just surviving… it’s about living.
My opinion
Vacant was
a great love story, you can see the chemistry between Emily and Ethan grow
during the book. Emily and Ethan were also very realistic persons and it was
easy to like them. The only problem with this book was that it was way too
short. I would have liked to know more about
them. Now it seemed like you just got an introduction of the story. And it wasn’t
that the story hadn’t the potential to be a longer novel. But I really liked
reading this book as it was and I definitely want to read more novels form this
author.
As my arm swings with the rhythm of my feet, I brush Emily's fingers
with my own. It’s an innocent accident, though the sudden warmth in my chest is
anything but. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to keep up this ruse,
playing her brotherly protector. While Emily has never spoken about boys in her
class or voiced interests of the romantic sort, I know it’s inevitable. She has
blossomed into a beautiful creature who has no idea of the devastation her
beauty wreaks upon me and, surely, the boys around her. Her smile is
infectious, and it’s only a matter of time before a suitor comes knocking at
our door. I kind of feel sorry for the poor boy, as my first time meeting him
will most likely be ugly. I’m a fierce guardian where Emily is concerned, not
just because it’s my duty to protect her but because seeing Emily with another
guy will end me.
I want to reach out and take her hand in mine as we walk, but I don’t. I
have calculated the difference in our ages. Five years doesn’t seem all that
much when she is twenty and I’m twenty-five. However, she is seventeen and
still a minor, which is the only important difference, no matter how hard my
libido begs to differ. I have to prepare for her to have romantic feelings for
someone her own age, not a twenty-two year-old guy who has to act like her
older brother.
Sisters rarely hold hands with their brothers.
