A Her Sailor Novel.
The prologue for Taking Jessie
really caught my attention immediately. I just had to know why Jessie was so
upset. OMG... Her ex-boyfriend, Tommy!
What an asshole!!! He was so controlling and mean to Jessie during their
relationship. I am so glad that he broke up with her and she decided to run
away to Oklahoma to live with her Granny.
It is on her way to Granny’s
house that she has a flat tire and Beau comes to her rescue. He quickly changes
the tire and rides away, both of them thinking they won’t see the other again.
Thankfully, it isn’t so and they are neighbors. Beau is really intrigued and attracted
by her and wants to get to know her. Reluctantly she agrees on a date and their
relationship blossoms from there. They quickly become closer and fall deeply in
love. However, Tommy makes a reappearance in Jessie’s life and he is not going
to let her go. Honestly, he goes a little crazy.
This book is a quick read. The
character development is good; I really enjoyed all of them. The author did a
really good job at giving them distinct personalities. I however lost my
connection with the story once Tommy reappears. Writing wise, I feel like
things fell apart a little, but not completely. All of the parts that did not
include Tommy were written pretty well. But when it comes the events
surrounding him, I felt something was missing. The action and suspense of the story
felt very rushed.
All in all, this is an enjoyable
book. If you are looking for something quick, this is a book you might want to
consider.
Beau I don’t know what to say. I guess I
should start by saying I care for you more than I have cared for anyone
else. I have never had this depth of feelings for another person, other
than my Granny, and well, this is a different kind of caring. I wake up
thinking about you, I spend my entire day wishing you were with me and I go to
bed thinking of you. Heck, I even dream of you. You consume my
every thought. I find myself wanting to do anything possible to please
you, to make you happy and, well, I’m not sure what that’s called, but if I
were to guess then I would say its love. So Beau, I love you too, love
you more than I have loved anyone.
