exchange for an honest review.
It was a cute story but I felt rushed while reading it with Hope and
Wesley’s instant attraction and love for each other. Honestly I couldn’t connect with Hope because
of how annoying she was in the beginning of the story. I felt with how sweet and loving Wesley was
Hope didn’t deserve someone like him. That is just my opinion though and I
should understand how she would be untrusting in a relationship after what her
ex did to her.
Other than that, I flew through this book sucking in all the angst and sweet
talk. Every time Wesley spoke…I sighed
wishing I could find myself a cowboy like him!
I’m a bundle of nerves as I step out into the night air. It’s hard to not see him. He’s leaning against his truck. His back is to me and I almost don’t think he knows I am coming until he turns around to face me. My heart drops in my chest as I look into his eyes. We say nothing for a minute. We’re taking this time to rememorize each other, this time without the loud music and bright lights of the club. His hand reaches up and brushes against my cheek. I shudder trying to control myself. I missed his touch so much. I close my eyes praying this isn’t some dream but I open them and he’s here with his hand still on my cheek. “I miss you Hope.” He whispers. I won’t cry. I’m telling myself that. I’ll kick my own ass if I cry. I won’t be weak. “I miss you too,” I whisper almost inaudibly. We go back to not speaking. I can’t believe I’m standing outside in front of him. In front of the man who completely melts my heart. “Can you forgive me?” He leans in closing his mouth over mine and takes charge blowing my mind. I kiss him fiercely. “I can’t think of you being anyone else’s but mine Hope.” He says between kisses.
