After breaking up with her long time boyfriend, Jackson DeLacey, eighteen-year-old Zara Borzilleri promises herself to focus on school and play the game she loves. Stepping foot onto the lacrosse field, in front of a cheering crowd, pushes aside the pain and reminds her of the future ahead at least until she graduates in four years.
Lacrosse star Treston 'The King' Parker dominates the field and to everyone else he has it all. Behind closed doors he's just Treston Parker- a monster full of secrets, deep, dark secrets only he knows. He won't allow anyone to get close and for the past two years he's kept his promises to her, but never his last promise: falling in love again.
One weekend he gives in and everything changes when he meets Zara. The rules change and she sees Treston for who he truly is, not what everyone else sees. But to Treston, meeting Zara means nothing, even though her blue eyes invades his mind.
We can be friends, but don't ask about my past or where I go.
He draws the lines.
She erases his lines.
Can Zara help Treston escape his painful past before he sinks deeper into oblivion?
I've given away my heart once and only once. Now, I live my life the way I do. I don't have time to talk about my feelings and get emotional. That shit is for the birds. When you take out emotions you'll feel a lot better, trust me. Emotions mean feeling and feeling means opening yourself up to get hurt and when you’re hurt, all you can think about is why and what you could have done differently. You blame yourself and think of ways to get her back. When you can’t think of anything, you’re backed up into a corner and feel alone. No one can help you because the only person who can will never be able to. That hurt leaves you feeling broken and you go through hell trying to pick yourself back up. You stop your life, the only life you know, and live in the dark. You're vulnerable to words and actions. People around you walk on eggshells, scared to make you cry or piss you off. So I've taken away my feelings and will never hurt the way I did before. See my point?

Take Me Away
4.5 Stars
S. Moose has done it again, I love the way this author writes her characters. The love/hate relationship I had with the main character was crazy. Half the time I wanted to hug him and half the time I wanted to slap him silly… S. Moose really knows how to mess with your emotions.
Treston is one of my new favorite book boyfriends. I loved to hate him throughout most of this book. I thought he was going to be a Grade-A Asshat, he was cocky and used girls for what he wanted and then poof… dropped em like nothing. But, when I really thought about it, these dumb girls knew it, he didn’t hide it… ughh smh….( And he was hurting, deep down, right? It’s no excuse, I know)
Treston was just living his life going through the motions, being “the king” until he meets Zara and everything starts to change. Zara brought out the guy in Treston that I loved! This is when I fell for him. He treated her with such a respect… sigh. Zara was a great character to compliment Treston, she was kind of portrayed as the innocent girl next door, and I really liked that about her. Their relationship made them both came out of the shells in a way. But in true book boyfriend fashion, Treston has demons that threaten everything they’ve built…… and this is where things take some crazy turns. There are things I especially didn’t see coming that will rock your socks off.
S. Moose gives us everything you want in a new adult romance, love, loss, romance, and some crazy plot twists. She pulls emotions out of you with her characters stories that have you invested like the characters are your friends. I felt for them and cheered them on through their ups and downs. This is a great story that keeps you wanting more.
