Life's been hard for Zeke. Being a punching bag for his alcoholic father has turned him into stone. Not even the dodgy trailer park he lives in can scare him. Fighting is his release and sex, drugs, and his guitar bring him peace, but deep down Zeke isn't quite as hard as he makes himself out to be. When he meets Patience, she finds all his broken pieces and puts him back together. She's a ray of light in his shadowed life and the last thing he wants to do is bring her into his dark world. Playing careless is easy, playing the bad guy can be fun, but playing Patience is impossible, especially when she can see right through him. Zeke isn't the only one who's broken, and for the first time in a long time, Patience feels alive. Her black and white world gets a shot of color when she meets Zeke. With his tattoos, piercings, and blunt honesty, he's unlike anyone she's ever met. She wants nothing more than to let go and ride the wild side with him, but some wounds never heal and the broken pieces of Patience aren't so easy to find.… (mer)

Playing Patience is book 1 in Blow Hole Boys. I love this book. I've read it more than once. It is one of two books that stays on my kindle permanently. Zeke is one of my favorite book boyfriends. Often my favorite book boyfriends don't correspond with my favorite books. This is one of those that matches both categories.

There's a place you land right before you hit rock bottom, a sort of cushion before the blow. It's full of fresh air that fills your deprived lungs and so much light that even in its darkest corners it warms your skin. This place prepares you for your plunge, holds you in its calming presence and rocks you softly.

Patience is from high society. She lives in a fancy house. Goes to a fancy school school. Etc etc.

Zeke is white trash. He lives in a single wide trailer with rotten floors. His life is full of parties and fights.

It wasn't in my nature to give a shit, so it made me angry that I kind of did.

Although, from two different worlds, they keep crossing each other's paths. Inside behind closed doors, they both have secrets. Their lives really aren't that different.

Abuse was abuse no matter its form. One wasn't easier than the other; either way it hurt. Either way it scarred the person on the receiving end. It scarred them and broke them into tiny pieces.

I'm not going to say anymore about this book because I couldn't do it justice. It's one of those books you must read. So please, please dig in if you haven't experience it yet.

FYI- Blow Hole is the name of the band Zeke is in. He's the guitar player.
{we called it the Blow Hole since you could walk in and score a line of coke at any given moment}

This is a very powerful story about two teenagers faced with some horrible events. I am so shattered by their story and at times I found it difficult to breathe because of the pain. But after reading and understanding these are two strong individuals. I realized their story will be cherished by many and may help people.
If you have not read the book you may not understand my review so I'm sorry for that but I refuse to give away this gift, this story, their love. ( )
