Dirt poor. Hillbilly. Backwoods hick. Mountain folk.
Tenleigh Falyn struggles each day to survive in a small, poverty-stricken, coal mining town where she lives with her sister and mentally ill mother. Her dream of winning the college scholarship given to one student by the local coal company and escaping the harshness of her life, keeps her going.
Kyland Barrett lives in the hills, too, and has worked tirelessly—through near starvation, through deep loneliness, against all odds—to win the Tyton Coal Scholarship and leave the town that is full of so much pain.
They're both determined not to form any attachments, but one moment changes everything. What happens when only one person gets to win? When only one person gets to leave? And what happens to the one left behind?
Kyland is a story of desperation and hope, loss and sacrifice, pain and forgiveness, but ultimately, a story of deep and unending love.

What I thought about Kyland
I love a deeply emotional story and this author always delivers on a
high-emotion, brutal-reality based sort of characters and setting so I
was really looking forward to digging into this story of two people
wanting to get out of poverty with a competition for a scholarship.
Anyone who has ever lived in a small town has had the thought of
"getting out" so that made for an easy connection in the story for me.
Tennleigh
and Kyland are both competing for the high school scholarship in the
poor coal town where they live. It's not difficult to see where this
story is going, so it's not about surprises -- it's about how these
folks deal with the hand they have been dealt. I liked that about the
story. But Kyland and Tenleigh have different reasons and different
futures they envision as they look forward which end up really impacting
their lives.
But they fall for each other anyway, in spite of
knowing it's probably not going to work out like some fairy tale. I
liked this story. It had some bite to it. Told in alternating points of
view, it's easy to get to know these characters and want something good
for them, although it does take a while for them to get there.
So an enjoyable, emotional story with an interesting setting and situation.
Grace Hamilton was the girl with a plan. She knew exactly where her life was going and prided herself on always achieving her goals. It was who she was, and how she lived her life. She never stepped outside the lines, and never considered what she might desire and whom she was actually trying so hard to please. Until him…
Carson Stinger was a man who didn’t play by any rules except his own. Working in the adult entertainment industry, he didn’t care what others thought and took each day as it came, no direction, no plan. He knew what women wanted from him and believed it was all he had to offer. Until her…
When circumstances forced them to spend several hours together, they walked away changed. But for two people who never should have meshed, overcoming the reality of their vastly different lives wasn’t possible. At least not yet…

What I thought about Stinger
Grace Hamilton is a planner, as in, she has her life mapped out and that
is that. She's at a law conference in Vegas when she meets Carson
Stinger, of the adult entertainment industry. They get stuck with each
other and their lives are changed. It's only a weekend, right? And with a
porn star, you've got to expect some steam and there is plenty of that,
so much so that an impact is made that carries forward through the
years.
Grace and Carson are separated for a few years, but
they've never forgotten each other. There are some hurdles when they are
reunited, but that is to be expected. As a matter of fact, there
weren't any big surprises along the way.
Overall, I enjoyed this. It's what I expect from this author and I wasn't disappointed.
