Young love dies hard.
My high school crush is everything to me. Under normal circumstances, you’re ready to graduate and get away from your overbearing family. I hated leaving her behind to pursue my college career, and honestly, I’ve been lonely as hell since. Missing her smile, her voice, her sharp as hell tongue—everything.
It’s been a few years but I waited like a good boy. Waited for her to turn eighteen, choose to leave her abusive father behind, and run away with me.
Now?
I’m back for her. If I have anything to say about it, she’ll put this damn town in the rear view mirror and never look back.
Unfortunately, some things don’t work out.

You Wound Me is the 1st book in the Darkwater Correctional Institute Universe by Alair Novak.
Honestly, I have to recommend that you read the Lito Duet before you read You Wound Me so you get a good feeling for who Nadia is. This story is going to give you more information on Nadia either before or after you read the Lito duet.
After two years, Caleb is looking forward to finally seeing Nadia again, he hasn’t seen her since graduation. Ever since Caleb dragged Nadia away from a fight back in high school, he knows that he’s lovestruck by the girl that he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about since the day that he pulled he out of that fight, he’s also been constantly been daydreaming and dreaming about Nadia. And Caleb knows that tonight he’s going to see the girl of his dreams in person at the race with his mates.
The moment Caleb spots Nadia, Caleb takes her on a drive, only for things to get unexpectedly complicated when they cross gang related activities, and Caleb finds that he’s unable to say no. Petrified, Nadia is desperate to leave, but regrettably nothing is that simple with danger and heartache following….
I will say that Caleb and Nadia are perfectly matched and they are a match made in heaven? Or is it a match made in hell?
I adore Nadia, she’s fierce, intelligent, head-strong, and fearless and at the same time I love how Alair wrote her in such a way that allowed so that at the right moments we got to see Nadia’s vulnerable side. Especially when she grew up in a home that wasn’t supportive and not so safe.
And oh, dear how I feel for Caleb. He’s this bad boy with a protective and possessive streak; he loves car racing like it’s the air he breaths. He also knows that Nadia is his one true love and all he wants to do is protect her and whisk her away. Caleb knows just how unsafe and toxic Nadia’s environment is.
Alair wrote the perfect yearning and its absolutely delicious, you can feel the yearning from both Caleb and Nadia. And the spicy scenes between Caleb and Nadia, Alair did such a stunning job in writing them, they grab you and pull you in and you can feel the magic and chemistry between Caleb and Nadia. And the secondary characters, I really wish that I could have gotten to know them better and then there were those that I thought, nah, not so much. Zap…Zap I want to know everything about him. Please Alair, give me more of Zap and give me more soon.
I am doing my very best to translate all the feelings I have about this novella into words. This is a fast-paced, short, and such a smooth read. And this book once again reminds you just how smooth and beautiful Alair’s writing really is. And when Alair says that this is a romantic tragedy believe me, this is a romantic tragedy.
You Wound Me is this emotional rollercoaster that is full of heartache and is intense. And the emotion, the heartbreak and the heartache, it’s all going to stay with you long after you’ve read the last word and closed the book. And as for the last page? You have to read that for yourself; all I will say is this: keep a firm hold on your heart and soul and keep a box of tissue close by. You’re going to need it. I’m still not OK, I never thought this book was going to hit me or effect me like this.
Just like Babalon and Judas I highly recommend You Wound Me and again I wish I could give this novella more than just 5 stars. Alair’s writing, world creation, character development, it’s all on par and deserves more hype and credit than it’s currently getting.
