Another
amazing book written by Jo Raven! I couldn’t put it down! Her characters,
though flawed they may be, are lovable and so strong. Each male has had a
difficult up-bringing. All they want to do is have a family and fit in. And,
each female is brave and true. They want everything for their man. And, they’ll
move heaven and earth to make sure that they realize how much they are wanted
and loved. Ocean and Kayla’s story is no different than the rest. Both wanting
that special love but not thinking that they deserve it. I loved both Ocean and
Kayla! Ocean just trying to be the helpful one. Always putting others before
himself. And, Kayla, wanting to find that special person. That forever sort of
love. And, she thinks that Ocean can be that for her. He’s just such a good
person, and she needs for him to feel that. She wants to be the one to take
care of him for a change. And, he’s over-the-top fascinated by her. Her feisty
and playful personality makes her a treasure to him. And, when they finally get
together, will the sparks fly? Will Ocean see fireworks from all that feeling
that Kay has built up inside her just for him? Will he get it that he is worthy
of her love??
Jo
Raven pulls you right into the story from the amazing cover to the first words
read off page one right through to the amazing finale. The reader gets a
glimpse into a family of friends’ lives that are special and loyal. The guys
and their babes are honest and are there for each other through thick and thin.
It always gets to me how this bunch of friends support each other. They laugh
together. They curse together – pretty dirty with humor I might add...chuckle. And, they believe in each
other. And, Ocean and Kayla’s story is filled with humor but also sadness.
Especially when Ocean is really taken for a ride by people that he should have
no problem trusting. He is beyond destroyed when these two people really snow
him. But, the truth is the truth and the sooner that he accepts it then he will
be able to move on. With a brother who finally comes around, to Kayla that is
always waiting in the wings, and his group of friends that just prove over and
over that they got his back, he just knows that this is where he’s meant to be.
Can’t wait for more Jo Raven books. This is one author that when her books are
released I get my nose embedded in the pages ASAP! Never one to be disappointed
with a Jo Raven book...
“Because
love was broken” I whisper. “I was trying to put it back together and failing
every single time. But I’d draw you, Kay. The whole of you. You put love back
together. You put me back together so I could love you.” ~ Ocean (Chap. 24)
And, her book covers
are always fine to look at...
