REVIEW
 

WOW!!!!

This book captured me from the beginning. 

Gabby's reaction to Cam when she met him for the very first time was realistic and absolutely adorable. I swear it puts you right back to your very first crush and the whole...giggly ohmygod that boy is cute phase.

Even as the time passes the feelings she has for Cam only grow as they grow. I could see the struggle he had and why he would keep his distance. But Gabby was freaking strong and vocalized how she felt. 

We all have our weak moments and make mistakes. Our two characters do too and it helps them grow. They finally come to terms with what they want.

This book had me wanting to sit down and read. The story is that good. I think my cowboy book boyfriend just got knocked on his ass by my new cowboy, CAMRON TAYLOR. 

Gabby and Cam have a beautiful love story. They go through a lot but hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and truly their strength gets through a lot. 

Toshia, has done a great job as a new author and I am excited to see what else she can grace us with. I am happy to say that she had me emotional in some parts and that is a huge thing for me. If I start talking to the characters its a very good thing and boy was I talking to them.

Highly recommend this book

 
 
 
 
EXCERPT
 
Gabby walks by the table toting some surfer boy behind her. Anger ignites in my blood and I grind my molars to keep me from doing something stupid, and then grab my beer and take a deep pull.

Cool it, dude. Josh’s baby sister. And it’s her birthday.

Then that damn song comes on. I sit back and watch them out of the corner of my eye. When Gabby pulls him closer, I grip my bottle tighter, my muscles tense.

Mother. Fucker. Now she’s grinding on his leg. And Josh and Tiffany are bickering with each other. I can’t deal with any of this shit. I drain my beer and head to the bar for another one without a word.

“Motivation” by Kelly Rowland starts playing. Do they have to play every fuck-me song out there?

I lean back against the bar and chug my beer. Three drinks and it’s gone. I order another and head back to the table.

Gabby has her back to the asshat now and she’s doing this thing with her hips, moving lower and lower. If I wasn’t seeing red, I’d be rearranging myself.

Damn, she can move those hips.

Isn’t Josh going to do anything about this dude dry-fucking his sister on the dance floor?

Turning again, she’s back to fucking his leg. His hands move to her ass and that’s it, white-hot fury overtakes me. I slam my bottle down on the table making Tiffany jump. Josh gives me a what-the-fuck-is-your-problem look.
