📚 BLOG TOUR with REVIEW 📚 In Your Eyes by Barbara Speak




Jase Jergensmeyer was the bully that tortured me growing up--the kind of boy who would pull my pigtails and call me names in elementary school. He was never supposed to be anything other than a menace. He wasn't meant to be anything other than the definition of what I didn't want. 

Things don't always happen the way we plan, and sometimes we ask God why he puts things in our path, but the most important thing to remember is: Life is an adventure, and if we all knew how it would play out, we never really would be living, would we? 

You know me as Shelby, the eight-year-old girl that went through hell with my sister, Ari, but I have my own story to tell. 

In Your Eyes is a follow-up novel in the Let It Be series. The first two novels, Let it be Me and Let it be Us, do not have to be read first to enjoy this story, but you will get to know the characters involved in this novel if you do.







Review by Cassie H.


RATING: 4.5 STARS

If you've read Let It Be Me and Let It Be Us by Barbara Speak, then you're aquatinted with baby sister Shelby McCormick, from the previous book's. But this is Shelby's book and she's now grown and living her own life. 

Shelby has a pit stop at home on her way to California to live her dream job, but what's waiting for her at home could change everything in Shelby's life, and he's Jason Jergensmeyer the sworn enemy and bully that made Shelby's school life anything but fun... Well, they both tortured each other! Lol! 

"The only girl I ever wanted enough, that was worth sitting back and waiting for, Red, was you. You just never saw me the same way."- Jase

Jase has a past that won't go away and haunts his dreams, but his Red (Shelby) becomes his rainbow after all the rain. These two will face some up hill battles, but will they fair with out any scars? 

"He was worth the fight."- Shelby


I loved their story. Two sworn enemies, who finally see each other with eyes wide open. Jase is a male character that we love to love! And Shelby, I was quite surprised. Thankfully we didn't get the 10 or so year old we knew in the previous books, thank goodness, because I didn't like her then! Lol! She has everyone's best interest at heart. She's sweet, funny and strong! We need that in more female book characters. Now, I did see the one thing happening that happen... I could see it coming, but that's okay. It didn't ruin the book for me because of that. And I have to say, I want to knock Izzy out! Ugh! You'll want to too! We get everything rolled into one book... Love, sexiness, angst, sadness and surprises. 4.5 stars!

Oh P.S. If you've been like me and wanted to know about the aftermath of Brooke, WE GET IT! As well as seeing into Ari and Canyons life <3







Arianna Dubray is nothing like the girl she left in Baltimore. Once a Prada shoe wearing, Michael Kors bag carrying, on top of the world seventeen-year-old girl, Arianna knew that her life would never be the same when she got out of the car in middle-of-nowhere Montana.

Canyon Michaels is the keeper of his own dark secrets. Plagued by his family name, he's forced to prove the town wrong and make it on his own.

The last thing Arianna needs is a reason to stay, but with every passing day the decision to leave becomes harder. Once their paths cross nothing can tear them apart, other than the secrets that start to surface and the nightmares that soon become their reality.



Montana has become everything Arianna Dubray never wanted it be. Home. Now, with every part of her Boston life behind her, she has all she needs to watch her future unfold in her little country life: her sister, Shelby, and the man that captured her heart and never let go, Canyon Michaels. 

But Canyon was sure Arianna was never coming back, and in the midst of his excitement, he doesn't reveal the one thing that could shatter his dreams of being with her for the rest of his life.

When every secret comes to light, the only thing left to do is to leave their love in fate's hands.
