I loved
loved loved this book…it was heart wrenchingly emotionally beautiful. I
couldn’t put it down and was gutted when I saw “The End”…however, Nicole if you
are reading this that seriously cannot be the end…I hardly ever relish having
to wait for a sequel but this book NEEDS a sequel in fact it DEMANDS a
sequel…it was a sort of HEA ending but nowhere near enough…no epilogue
and a story so open ended that it needs Nicole to start pressing some keys that
says…the continuation of Rowen and Jesse…thanks and breatheeeeeee….right where
was I???
Oh yes,
Rowen…misunderstood because of her appearance you could call her trouble, goth,
druggie or as most call her “a freak” she uses her clothing etc as a disguise
to hide the true Rowen… underneath all that black there is a lovely girl just
waiting to escape… she lived with her “mum” very loosely called that as she is
never there for her..and after having suffered something that happened when she
was younger Rowen became a virtual recluse within herself and used drugs,
alcohol and boys as a way of forgetting..her grades slipped and her mother has
all but given up on her. Rowen however finds her release through art and
badly wants to attend art school, it does cost a lot but Rowen’s mum is not
prepared to pay for it unless Rowen can prove herself worthy. Her mum
packs her off to her old school friends ranch to play cowboys for the summer,
she has to prove that over the summer she can work her butt off and clean up
her act.
Rowen has
just endured a tortuous journey on the Greyhound bus and is waiting for one of
the ranch hands to pick her up…in strides Jesse Walker…a cowboy with the
tightest pair of Wranglers, that show off the tightest arse….she is in
lust/love!!! Jesse is a 19 year old cowboy..he works for his parents on the
ranch..he is nothing like her usual attractions, he is gorgeous, he has a
positive attitude, he works hard, he loves his family, he is affectionate, he
sees the real her, he pays her compliments she is totally screwed!!
She is
put to work on the ranch with 4am
starts, but she throws herself in and gives it her all, she actually relishes
her time there enjoying being part of a family, something that she has never
felt for a very long time…slowly but surely Jesse begins to eat at the walls
that she has carefully constructed around herself…
“Why
don’t you want to know that I like you Rowen??? Why don’t you want me to tell
you I’m so damn attracted to you, I almost don’t trust myself to be alone with
you like we are right now???? Why don’t you want to know that I care about you
so much????”
This
starts a beautifully written story about a girl with such low self esteem that
it would take years of drilling to find it beginning a journey of self
discovery..not only about how to love others but to also love herself..the
Walker family are extremely tight and no matter what they treated Rowen as one
of her own, Jesse’s mum knew what Rowen’s mum was like and she always gave her
the most heart felt and best advice she could..slowly but surely Rowen came out
of her shell and began to find herself.
Jesse was
just adorable, I loved him so much…he too had his past, one that meant he
hadn’t lead the ideal life that Rowen once thought he had. He had overcome his
obstacles and demons and could see the same with Rowen..he had also had his
heart broken with his first true love so he also had his worries with regards
to a new relationship, but they had this chemistry that was not going to go
away…the sort of chemistry whereby they knew each other was close…they could
tell what each other was thinking and they both eventually realised what they
had was special.
Eventually
they both opened up to each other and Jesse’s family and whilst Rowen thought
that the family would be mortified that their only son would fall in love with
her, they didn’t..they could tell before Rowen and Jesse that there was
something there, so it came as no shock.
“We don’t
deserve anything Rowen. We don’t deserve punishment, we don’t deserve
happiness, life owes us nothing. Realize that” His voice wasn’t gentle anymore;
it was as strong as I’d ever heard it. “So we have to take what we want because
life sure as shit isn’t going to freely hand it over” . He kissed the skin
above my collar bone……..”and I want you”.
This book
was so emotional, it dripped off the page…the swoon factor with Jesse was huge
he was just such a darling…oh and a virgin!!!! How refreshing that the male
lead has the big “V”…they do a lot of kissing and I mean a lot of kissing and
even that got me hot under the collar..but the tenderness in losing the big “v”
was beautiful..I just loved it all..loved it loved it loved it!!!!!!
Have you
1clicked yet???
If not,
why not????
Fab read!!
