***Blog Tour Stop and Giveaway*** Still Human by Kerry Heavens




Synopsis
Danny and Liv are back...

Danny loves Liv. He knows he loves her more than she loves him because she ran without a word when she saw their future mapped out before her. He knows he will never love anyone like he loved her and this time he doesn’t think he can move on.

Liv loves Danny. She knows she loves him more than he loves her because he broke her heart in the worst possible way, right when things were falling into place. She knows she will never love anyone like she loves him and this time she doesn’t think she can move on.

They needed a second chance because they just weren’t ready for their first, but when events changed everything between them, they discovered they were just human after all. Now Liv and Danny have to find a way to survive being hurt by each other. 

They doubted, they underestimated and they did believe the worst, but only because they were too young the first time and too vulnerable the second time. But now they have changed and if they are not the same, surely things can only turn out differently?

Sandy B's Review
“Being this sensitive, not demanding sex when I’m so tired, understanding me completely, is basically foreplay, long-range foreplay, because sleep is calling, but it still counts.”– Liv
“I’ve tried very hard since then, not to hold everything up against what we had, but it’s impossible. There has been something missing in my life ever since that day and last week, for the first time in twelve years, something changed. The missing piece came into view and I had to come see if I could put myself back together.”- Danny
Liv and Danny are baaaack.  Alas the road to true loves does not run smoothly.  Does it ever?!  Liv doesn’t think Danny loves her so she runs.  Danny thinks that Liv must not love him because she left him.  Ay ay ay – it’s a comedy of errors.  I quite enjoyed Being Human (Just Human #1) despite the cliffhanger and so I was looking forward to Book #2.
Our couple is young, so young so things are misunderstood and there was a time or two when I wanted to smack one or both of me.  However, there is something here for everyone.  Looking for romance, looking for the hot/smexy, looking for the angst and some heartache – you’ll find it all.  A life event bring Danny running to Liv’s side but Liv is having none of it.  She’s not going to make it easy for him to waltz back into her life. 
I loved that Danny’s POV is represented in Still Human.  It’s always cool to hear the male voice in a story.  It did not detract for me at all from the flow and story.  Whether these two can get past their insecurities, hurt feelings and fear of trusting again is part of what keeps you turning the pages.  Needless to say, I was rooting for Danny.  I think many ladies will be drooling, wishing, rooting and loving Danny as their next Book Boy Friend.
In case that wasn’t clear – I liked it.  I really liked it.  J

Excerpt
Scott is up, dressed and looking particularly chipper when I arrive laden down with groceries.
“Wow! You realise it’s A.M. right?” I rib as I put the groceries down.
“Yeah, yeah,” he dismisses.
“So how are you?” asks Jen with her well-rehearsed tone.
“I’m doing okay,” I say, trying not to brush her off. I know she is worried about me, but I can’t do what she wants me to do. I’m not chasing Liv. Jen has tried cajoling, nagging, yelling and crying. There is only bribery left, but she seems to have risen above that. She wants me to be happy, but she is wrong about how I can achieve that. I should have left the whole thing alone. But I went against my gut and this is the result. I won’t make that mistake again. I’m staying put. Screw Liv.
“Working hard?’ Jen asks, this is more of an accusation.
“Yes,” I say like a sulky teen. “But it’s what I need right now. Anyway, I need the money…I’ve a huge credit card bill to pay.” I joke, referring to the ring. But there is little humor to be found, even when the joke is my own. I sigh. How did I become the guy with two unwanted engagement rings to his name?
Jen doesn’t push further.
“So whose turn is it to cook?” I ask, knowing full well it’s mine, I’m just trying to change the subject. Jen rolls her eyes and sets about making coffee. Scott takes the morning papers over to the table, his usual position. I’ve no idea when he became exempt from cooking, but Jen and I take turns.
I get on with mixing the batter, it’s second nature now, and Jen and I move about the kitchen in perfect sync with one another. I wonder distantly, how I thought it would be easy to give this up and move. I love these guys.
 We make Scott do all the donkey work after breakfast; it’s only fair that he cleans up. Jen and I poke fun at him for our own amusement, from where we sit in the garden.
 “I’m just not used to seeing him this alert on a Saturday morning,” I tease.
“We went for a walk on the beach this morning,” Jen says with a knowing look. “We had stuff to talk about.”
“And?” I ask, knowing full well the subject they needed to discuss. They have been back and forth all week on this sperm donor thing. I know Jen is terrified, but Scott sees it as no big deal and just wants to get on with it. I really admire the guy; hell, it’s quite a dent in the old masculinity. But as far as he is concerned, it’s just a blip. Any child that is conceived as a result would be his and his alone. Jen has just read one bad example and it has her all in knots. She’s worried that Scott won’t feel connected to the baby and she’ll be left all alone. That just wouldn’t happen.
Scott joins us just then and they smile at each other. “I talked her around,” Scott says, never taking his eyes off Jen as he sits beside her. God, he loves her.
“That’s great!’ I exclaim and put my arms around Jen lifting her slightly out of her chair. “So what happens now?”
“Well…we start looking,” she says with a nervous smile. “It’s a long process and we need a few months to figure out my ovulation issues.”
Okay, here goes. I can’t handle any more rejection this week. “I don’t know the best way to approach this,” I say, looking them in the eye in turn. “But, when you’re ready, I was hoping you would consider me.”

***Just Human by Kerry Heavens Blog Tour Stop and Giveaway***


Blurb
Meet Liv and Danny...

Liv loves Danny. She knows she loves him more than he loves her, so she lets him go without a fight when his parents make him move back to America. She knows she will never love anyone like she loved him, but she has to move on.

Danny loves Liv. He knows he loves her more than she loves him, because she does nothing to get him to stay, so he goes quietly when his parents leave the UK. He knows he will never love anyone like he loved her, but he has to move on.

Twelve years on, they have made a good job of pretending, they may have almost forgotten. But when they get in touch via Facebook, it seems that it is all still there. 

They quickly find that they are intensely compatible in ways they hadn’t even begun to explore before they were forced apart. 

Can they put aside their fears and give it a go? Or will deep rooted doubts and insecurities tear them apart?


Sandy B's Review
Being this sensitive, not demanding sex when I’m so tired, understanding me completely, is basically foreplay, long-range foreplay, because sleep is calling, but it still counts.”– Liv
“I’ve tried very hard since then, not to hold everything up against what we had, but it’s impossible. There has been something missing in my life ever since that day and last week, for the first time in twelve years, something changed. The missing piece came into view and I had to come see if I could put myself back together.”- Danny
Liv and Danny become best friends when his family moves to the UK from America because of his Mom’s job. Then that friendship turned to love when they were teenagers.  Circumstances, Danny’s family moving back to the US, tore them apart.  Liv has just caught her live in boyfriend shagging another chick in their bed.  This seems the perfect opportunity for her to explore being more adventuresome.  Maybe pick up a guy for a one night stand.  Everyone around her that knows her thinks this is ridiculous – she’s just not the type.  Thoughts of Danny have always been there.  There has never been a day that Liv hasn’t loved Danny even though she has tried like hell to deny it.  Then, serendipity, Danny happens to contact her on Facebook and they start “talking”. 
Liv is still very much in love with Danny.  The question is does Danny still love Liv?!  Max (Liv’s gay BFF) is firmly  convinced that is the case.  However, Liv is not buying it.  It’s been 12 years!  Why hasn’t he contacted her before is that’s the case? 
This is a story of second chance love.  A story of two people who are victims of circumstance.  A story of two people afraid to believe their feelings can be real?  Come on!  Who’s not a sucker for 2nd chance love?  I totally absolutely positively am.  I love both these characters.  I loved the people in their circle.  I love that the people they were involved with up to this point have been place holders waiting for that moment when Liv & Danny would meet again. 
I have to tell you that I just may be in love with Kerry Heavens.  This book is fun to read.  Especially the FB chat conversations because they seem so real.  Danny is sweet – almost like a girl and I just fell for him – HARD.   I don’t even want to tell you guys anymore because I want you to experience it yourself.  Then come back and tell me what you think.  There is a sequel coming and I will be waiting to 1click for sure.
