Review:
This book is not at all like I expected it to be! I was so sad and depressed along with Mira when her fiance died that fateful night of graduation. It takes Mira a while to get her life back together. She is finally able to seem normal with the help of her fiance's best friend, Skylar. Skylar has always loved Mira, but never acted upon those feelings for the love of his best friend. When fate brings them together again after his death, he thinks may be his chance; however, things blow up in each of their faces. Mira moves out of the apartment she was sharing with Skylar after only one weekend. They do not see each other again for a year. They both have strong feelings for each other and don't think that they will ever have those same feelings toward anyone else. They can't imagine tainting that love by being with other people. When their mutual friend, Kylee, comes home for vacation they get together again. Mira unleashes a secret that she has been keeping from everyone that may be the final straw to break the camel's back. Skylar and Mira finally put aside everything and realize that being together is the only place that makes sense and makes them happy. They decide that they are going to be together forever.
**Spoiler alert**
The last chapter you find out that everything was a LIE!! She has been in a coma for the past seven weeks. She wakes up in a hospital room and can't figure out how she went from being in Skylar's arms of his home to a hospital bed barely able to move. Danny didn't die that night. He came away unharmed. However, Mira wasn't so lucky. She banged her head pretty hard. She thinks that everything she dreamed was real. How do you explain to the man that you are engaged to that you thought he was dead and you fell in love with his best friend, all while you were in a coma?
I have to read the next book in this series to know what happens! I loved the chemistry that Skylar and Mira had together. I think they both realized that they are more compatable together than Danny and Mira. Danny is a sweet boy, but from the flashbacks that you have from Mira, it is like she always had a thing for Skylar but afraid to voice those feelings.
Ashley Suzanne you have done it this time. I was not expecting any of that to happen. Ready to know what happens next!
Book One and a Half: Inception
Synopsis:

Through the ups and downs of college, Danny and Mira's relationship blossoms into something truly beautiful. A relationship that dreams are made of.

Inception immediately follows the first book in the Destined Series, Mirage and showcases Danny's point of view during those four years that almost ended the night of graduation.
To understand the full story, you have to go back to the beginning: The Inception.
Review:
This story is from Danny's point of view of his life with Mira. It starts out from when he left for college as a freshman with his best friend Skylar. It tells of all the important moments they shared together and gives you a little insight on how he felt about the close relationship between Mira and Skylar. He never doubted that they loved each other, but it didn't really make him question anything between them. If you read Mirage, you know that Mira ends of falling for Skylar because she believed that Danny died in the motorcycle accident, but that didn't happen. As I was reading Mirage, I really liked the idea of Danny and Mira together. They seemed like such a cute couple and really loved each other, but she had to move on with her life. I loved Skylar. Yes, he isn't your typical book boyfriend, but I think that is what made me love him more. Then after finishing this book, I fell even more in love with Skylar. He seemed to stay by Mira's side no matter what. After only a month, Danny was starting the process already of moving on. He even seeks out a girl that looks like Mira in the cafeteria. I just think that if he truly loved her like he claims that he does, then he would wait a bit longer to see if she wakes up. Heck, it took Mira six months to get over Danny's death. Mira isn't even dead yet, and he is already thinking like she is. I am going to be rooting for Skylar in the books to come. I hope all works out between Mira and Skylar. I know that they will have some hardships with her being engaged still to Danny, but hopefully they can get past all that.
