Taylor Mooreland has more than her share of problems. Her mother's an irresponsible dreamer who's more interested in floating from audition to audition than she is in paying her bills. So, Taylor's got to keep the ship afloat, taking care of her little brother and working to help pay the bills while she's going to school. And if life wasn't difficult enough, now she's gotten herself into quite the mess with a guy who thinks she's a man.

Wow, it was as intense as I thought I should be. It still pained me to see both Taylor and Christian be hurt. I don't know how you'll work this out, but I have faith. Hopefully the update won't take so long.

That was a really sweet end. I didn't think it would wrap up so nicely. Thanks for not dragging it out.

When the lines are drawn, will you risk your life to cross them for love?

In the Summer of 1988, tragedy hits home for Charlene Jacobson and her father when her little brother is killed playing a game of basketball in their Detroit housing projects.  She soon finds herself living in the small rural town of Millersville, Georgia, with her estranged grandmother. Millersville is a place where time stands still and the racial divide is as prevalent as the 1950s.  Secrets, lies, and betrayal lurk in every corner. Yet, through it all she finds solace in the arms of Ryan Quinn, a white senior track star and the son of the town Sherriff.  

Will their love cross the finish line?  

EDIT:  Crossing the Finish line has been removed from this site and a revised version with added new content has been published on Amazon Kindle Vella (as of November 2022) under the penname, Shelly B Williams. To those of you who have left reviews, added me to your Favorite Authors and Story Alerts, and helped to make CTFL one of the Top Ten Most Favorited Stories on Valent Chamber, I trully appreciate all the support you have shown me over the years. I hope you will continue to support me as I begin the next phase of my journey as a published author. I couldn't  have done this without you. 

Much Love!

For the love of God, please do not let that deeply hurt woman get with her rapist. I have faith she won't, but if that's what's happening here, I will never read your stories again. Also, rapist cannot be reformed. I hope he rots in jail. Ophelia needs a serious amount of therapy. Poor woman.

No redemption for Raymond.  I guarantee that.  Stay tuned because the *h*t is about to hit the fan.

Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 11

Awesome sex scene. I'm happy Sasha got to feel a bit of pain when losing her virginity. Sometimes I get really upset when I read first time stories and the woman feels absolutely no pain or discomfort and has a screaming orgasm. No, you don't always feel like you're being split in half, but it is very foreign feeling and uncomfortable. I'm a little dubious about her cumming, but I understand it's a romance novel.

And Nady needs to get her shit together. Sasha needs to let her know the bidness. Dmitri needs to ask Sasha out. This is all cute, but he needs to make it official.



Author's Response:

Yes, I was debating whether or not to let her have an orgasm but then I was like- it's Dmitri (just looking at that man...mmm lol)  And you are so right- I'm surprised no one else has noticed that they don't really venture out in public. Makes you wonder...is he serious about her??? o_0  we'll see... Thank you or your review!
