![]() ![]() ![]() Another brilliant read by Samantha Towle who has become my go to author when I want a good read. I laughed, shed a tear and was deeply moved by some scenes. A friendship develops between Carrie and River after a rocky start and River becomes a huge support for Carrie who is pregnant. ![]() My heart hurt for River, for his past, for his present. Fist impressions of River are he is moody, a bit of a grouch and doesn't like people, this is Rivers defence mechanism, following the death of his step-father the family was shunned, rejected by town people. Carrie is fleeing an abusive relationship, moves away, changes her name and finally feels free in the little town in Texas. The story goes from past to present at first from Carrie's present and Rivers past. Rivers mother riddled with guilt at what her son had been going through without her knowledge took the blame and went to prison. The book begins with River is a young abused child by his police officer, his step father who took a last stand and used his stepfathers gun and shot his abuser. From the very beginning of this book I was hooked and River had my heart. A bitter-sweet, heartwarming, slow burn romance. ![]()
