Donna Cooner
Donna Cooner establishes herself as our own Jodi Picoult in this timely tale of sisters, loss, and redemption.Torrey Grey is famous. At least, on the internet. Thousands of people watch her popular videos on fashion and beauty. But when Torrey's sister is killed in an accident -- maybe because of Torrey and her videos -- Torrey's perfect world implodes. Now, strangers online are bashing Torrey. And at her new school, she doesn't know who to trust. Is queen bee Blair only being sweet because of Torrey's internet infamy? What about Raylene, who is decidedly unpopular, but seems accepts Torrey for who she is? And then there's Luis, with his brooding dark eyes, whose family runs the local funeral home. Torrey finds herself drawn to Luis, and his fascinating stories about El Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. As the Day of the Dead draws near, Torrey will have to really look at her own feelings about death, and life, and everything in between. Can she learn to mourn her sister out of the public eye?

"Can't Look Away is a dark, forbidden romance: Brothers, best friends. Silver isn't just the best friend; he is the family’s closest friend. <br/><br/>With Charli’s parents moving, Charli moves in with Silver to be closer to Uni. Silver quickly realizes how much trouble he is in. <br/><br/>I love Charli’s character growth in this novel. From the brat attention seeker to the mature young woman, to know her worth. <br/><br/>Silver is the hot mature man that gave me so much whiplash. The man loves structure and constantly fights his feelings for Charli.<br/><br/>Nova Flynn never disappoints with the spice. These two are explosive. I always know I’m in for a delicious treat. The role-play is hot as hell.<br/><br/>If you're looking for an erotic forbidden romance, Can’t Look Away is for you. You will not be disappointed."
