We all have that someone we can’t forget, the summer it all began, and the sleepless nights wondering what went wrong.
For Gage Montgomery, that someone is Layla Baxter. When he was 18, he took one look at the chocolate-haired bookworm with porcelain skin and knew his life would never be the same. But it all came crashing down when Layla suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from St. Simons Island -- leaving him with nothing but her angel wing pendent around his neck. For 12 long years, Gage couldn’t shake what happened, if he’s the one to blame, wondering where Layla might be. When their paths finally cross, he’s determined to get the answers he’s spent his life searching for -- and to get the girl, too. Quiet Angel is a story of hope, survival, and lost love made new again.

Quite angel is the first book I read by Prescott Lane and it was amazing!

One summer, two people, one love!

Gage Montgomery was 18 when he first saw the one that would haunt him forever. Layla, a brown haired bookworm was just 16 when she met Gage, the boy next door. It was supposed to be a regular summer just before college for Gage but one girl changed everything for him. Gage and Layla fell for each other. The next thing Gage knows is that Layla is gone. No matter how hard Gage tried to find her, he never managed to locate her. Until fate brought them back together.

Now, 12 years later Gage and Layla can finally have what they dreamed of having when they were teens. Can they really though?

Time changes people. Gage has been blaming himself for Layla’s disappearance for a very long time. His feelings for her may have changed but he still holds on to the only thing he has from her, a wing pendent. He’s confused but above everything he wants to know why Layla left.

When Layla decided to leave, things weren’t hard only for Gage. She was having a harder time. The only thing that kept her going was the thought that her angel was protecting her. She has so many secrets that she kept hidden.

I really liked the book. It was a tough subject the author chose to work with but it came out nicely. In quite angel nothing was rushed. It had a nice flow and great characters. Layla was a strong person who tried to improve her life after a tragic past. Gage’s life changed the moment he met Layla. Her disappearance affected her deeply. He was mad at himself, at her and that made things complicated when they came across each other again.

One thing I didn’t like was Gage’s immature way of handling things. You can’t buy everything with money and you also can’t “imprison” someone just to keep them safe. What I did like though was how things turned out.

Moreover, I liked Poppy, Layla’s bff was so much fun to have around.

A story of a second chance in love. Gage and Layla’s journey will definitely touch you. There is a bit drama, some misunderstandings and trust issues but ultimately their story was captivating.

Totally recommended!
