Synopsis:
Elizabeth Decker views herself as shy, totally average, and pretty much insignificant. She’s nothing special, at least not compared to her little sister, Audrey. Elizabeth is content with her plain and lonely future; she’s too insecure to contemplate a relationship thanks to her sister. Audrey is a bombshell and uses this to get what she wants. She’s a girl who will stop at nothing to control anyone and everything around her. She craves power and doesn’t care if she has to hurt Elizabeth to get it.
Nathaniel Morgan has spent his whole life fighting for his twin brother, Nicholas. Somewhere along the way, he lost himself. Now he’s just getting by. He’s devoted to his family, but emotionally detached from the women he burns through like wildfire. He has no plans of getting into something as complicated and committed as a “relationship”.
Nicholas Morgan has placed the new librarian, Miss Elizabeth, on a pedestal and is begging her to meet his twin brother, Nathaniel. Elizabeth and Nathaniel agree to meet, for Nicky. Both are caught off-guard when unexpected sparks fly between them. This was not in their plans. Will Nathaniel and Elizabeth be able to escape a past that still plagues them? Or, will the past, suspicions, and insecurities come between them one too many times?

Review: *I received a digital copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. All are my own opinion and is not compensated by any individual, organization or company.
This book hit me close to home. First chapters had already made me invest my emotions in this book. I’m sensitive about this kind of topic so it already had me in tears already. It is amazing. Really amazing. I loved how they always say, “For Nicky”, like it is some kind of a chant.
The characters are all well thought out. Audrey and Nicky are the ones who had left gigantic marks on me. Audrey served as the queen evil in this book and she was written so well. She was the perfect bitch, perfect female antagonist, I had ever encountered in my entire reading life as far as I can remember . I literally constantly lashed out at her in my mind. Nicky was the sweetest person ever; I want to read his own story!. The main characters, on the other hand, reached me as average characters at first but as the story progress, I find myself already engulfed in their story.
There are few setbacks that in need of quick touch ups. But personally, I would like to have the book cover changed. I honestly find it very simple. It does not look fitting to the content of the book.
Other than that, this is a very good read. I actually went out to Amazon and bought the sequel! I just have to read Audrey’s story. It got to be amazing; I have my expectations waiting to be quenched.
For Nicky is a touching story that tackles bullying, forgiveness and love. I would have recommended it as a family read but then it has scenes that are not suitable for teens and tweens and are also quite complicated to be a topic. But! But! People who can read New Adult books, please! Read this.
