I can’t believe that our journey with the folks of the Burg is over. Like completely over, unless Ms. Kristen Ashley decides to gift us with some of their children’s story, like say… No & Addie J or maybe Jack Colton & Angie Callahan… Gah!!!
No but seriously, this book was an absolute beauty work of art. I always enjoyed Cher. It totally sucked what Dennis Lowe did to her. It sucked that she got dragged into the mess that he created because of her looks, but she was totally awesome. I loved that she gained a WHOLE NEW FAMILY out of the mess. I loved that she was willing to do anything for her son, to provide for him. She was a total awesome heroine.
Now, Garrett Merrick? I always wondered about him, and his issues. It sucked that he was going through his problems, and that he literally let go of his “true love” – wife Mia. But, at the same time, I’m happy that he did. Because there would be no Cher and Merry or Merry and Cher.
I loved that they were able to build a foundation of friendship before they began anything or any kind of relationship. And it sort of just happened that way. Cher was always “one of the boys” because she was a tough chick who could hang with the guys, and would rather do that then go shopping with the girls. So yes, the building a friendship and actually getting to know the other person was great! Once they finally hooked up, it was absolutely beautiful. My heart kind of broke at first. I thought that she was going to have to chase him there for a minute, but am glad that it didn’t happen that way. Thanks to some trouble that presented itself to Cher, Merry was able to realize that he wanted to start a relationship with her. And like any Alpha male, he threw down for her. He made her business his. He got involved and wouldn’t take NO for an answer.
I think that what got me the most was that he fell in love with her son Ethan at the same time that he was falling in love with Cher. It was absolutely beautiful and wonderful. They were able to develop a relationship and bond over men stuff. And that boy, the way that he cared for his mother, and the things that he did for her, were just wow. He was definitely an awesome kid.
Like any KA book; you get some action out of this book. Not like the others, but there is still some that keep your heart racing and wondering what is going to happen. But don’t fret it. She takes care of her business. (And by her, I mean KA!)
Now, can I talk about that Epilogue! It was amazing and wonderful and beautiful. I couldn’t stop my tears. I still feel the fullness in my heart after reading so much beauty! She completely outdid herself. Never in my wildest dreams, did I ever expect the beauty that she gave us. But she did, and for that I am thankful!!!
So thank you Kristen Ashley, for your wonderful talents of creating beautiful worlds, with beautiful people and sharing those with us. And showing us how to love and appreciate reading and books. You have a gift; and that is to bring people (women in particular) together and allowing them to fall in love with your dreams!!
Your Faithful Reader and Fellow Rock Chick!!!
