Mia Sheridan

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. THIS IS A STAND-ALONE SIGN OF LOVE NOVEL, INSPIRED BY TAURUS. New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

 “You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever . . . I have loved none but you.” 
 Just love it when books are their thing <3 the way they left notes about their favorite books..
This was a really sweet story about two people that have led a hard life and want to escape the poverty by receiving a scholarship, but it’s only awarded to one person. Kyland and Tenleigh develop a really precious friendship and talk about their dreams and hopes, and become each other’s best friends and ultimately fall in love.. 
   “I’m going to make all your dreams come true. All my life.”

“I do go to hell. Every day. For you.”

“Tenleigh.
Half agony, half hope.
Half pain, half ecstacy.
Half grief, half joy.
Half my downfall, half my savior.”

Qué historia taaaan emotiva.

En esta historia nos encontramos a Tenleigh y Kyland, nuestros protagonistas. Tenleigh y Kyland viven en un pequeño pueblo de Kentucky, con lo justo para sobrevivir y con una vida y una dura historia detrás. Lo único que quieren es poder salir del pueblo y conseguir una vida mejor para su futuro y su familia. 
Tenleigh y Kyland se enamoran con apenas diecisiete años y durante un tiempo, viven momentos increíbles y un gran amor.

Los protagonistas me han encantado. Tanto Tenleigh como Kyland. Tenleigh me ha parecido un personaje increíble, llena de ganas de vivir, de buscar una vida mejor para dar a su madre y a su hermana mayor Marlo. Adora a su familia y solo quiere lo mejor para ellas y sí misma. Es una persona luchadora, fuerte y con ganas de vivir al máximo.
Por otra parte, Kyland también me ha parecido increíble. Es una persona luchadora, con mucho tesón y con grandes valores que muestra durante toda la novela.
La conexión entre ambos es simplemente increíble. Desde el minuto uno vemos esa intensidad y esa conexión que sienten y ha sido muy muy bonito.

Me ha encantado que la novela esté narrada por ambos protagonistas, porque es muy importante conocer casa sentimiento y la historia por parte de cada uno.
Tengo que reconocer que la novela se me ha hecho súper corta. Cuando me he querido dar cuenta había llegado ya al final. El final me ha resultado algo precipitado, es decir, creo que se soluciona y resuelve todo de una manera muy rápida, con explicaciones muy rápidas.

"Kyland" ha sido una novela increíble de superación personal. Vemos una evolución de los protagonistas increíbles y como se superan y luchan por lo que desean.
Una novela de amor, de anteponer los sentimientos y deseos de la otra persona a los tuyos. De querer lo mejor para la persona que quieres y eso ha sido totalmente increíble.
Es una novela súper adictiva y entretenida. Muy rápida de leer, sencilla y con mucho mucho sentimiento. Una historia muy emotiva, increíblemente sensible y llena de vida y amor.

As with all Mia Sheridan books, I absolutely LOVED it!

“I do go to hell. Every day. For you.”

I absolutely adore Mia Sheridan’s writing! With each book in the A Sign of Love series, she’s proven again and again how phenomenal she is at storytelling. Her writing is lyrical, bringing her characters and settings to life. With her latest book, Kyland, Mia Sheridan conveys a powerful story of true, enduring love that can overcome anything. As much desperation and pain there is in this story, what you take away from it is a brilliant, warm-hearted book full love and never-ending hope. I absolutely loved it!

In the middle of rolling green hills, breathtaking mountain views, waterfalls, and quaint covered bridges, lies Dennville, Kentucky, a part of the Appalachian Mountains that would put any urban slum to shame, where hopelessness is as commonplace as the white oak trees, and unemployment is the rule more than the exception.

That writing – simply stunning!

Each of Mia Sheridan’s settings is unique and written in a spell-binding way, and Dennville, Kentucky is no different. It’s a poor town with even poorer inhabitants who work day and night to barely make ends meet. You might feel sorry for the people of Dennville, but there’s a beauty in the way they tirelessly endure and take care of one another and survive. This is the way Tenleigh and Kyland live – they are two teenagers who don’t let their poverty-stricken situations bring them down. Both of them are working towards the same goal – to win a scholarship that will pay for college so that they’ll have a chance at building a better life, and most importantly, winning that scholarship that will take them out of Dennville.

There’s only one person who can win the scholarship, but when Kyland and Tenleigh should have been adversaries, they become friends instead. There’s a loneliness in both of them – Kyland’s father and brother died in a mining accident a few years back, Tenleigh’s father abandoned her family and Tenleigh spends all her time working to afford medicine for her mother’s mental illness – but when Kyland and Tenleigh meet, a deep bond forms between them. They help each other in their times of loneliness, and ultimately, they save each other.

My heart felt so full as I read they way Tenleigh and Kyland fell in love with each other. It’s slow and beautiful and heart-wrenching the way they want, need, and finally, love each other. And my heart was aching so badly, because only one of them will end up winning the scholarship. It’s a bad idea to start anything between the two of them, because it’ll only end in heartbreak, but Kyland and Tenleigh can’t resist each other.

Tenleigh.
Half agony, half hope.
Half pain, half ecstacy.
Half grief, half joy.
Half my downfall, half my savior.

It was so achingly heart-wrenching how Tenleigh and Kyland had found their soulmates in one another, but couldn’t keep each other. One of them would end up leaving Dennville, and the two of them would their separate ways. They experience loss and suffering, but there’s no doubt that Kyland and Tenleigh are two souls who are meant to be together, and that they will always find a way to be together.

“I’m going to make all your dreams come true. All my life.”

Once again, Mia Sheridan delivers another stunning, deeply emotional read that I devoured. Kyland is a book that took my breath away. I fell in love with Tenleigh and Kyland and the strength in their hearts. They are two beautiful characters, inside and out, and they captured my heart. I couldn’t stop reading their story, and I honestly wished it never ended. And of course the ending would have to be perfect too! I adored the ending – it left me feeling so warm and happy (all of Mia’s books leave me feeling like this, actually). I truly loved everything about this book!
