Our friendship was accidental. A lost phone, a string of text messages that led to a once-a-year birthday text. The real trouble started when we upped the game and called each other. Those phone calls strengthened our connection and solidified our bond. Fourteen years later, I was in love with a man who knew me down to the deepest depths of my soul—but I’d never seen him, not even a picture. That was our deal; no last names, no pictures, and the promise to never internet search the other. I upheld that promise.
I was not prepared for the man who showed up at my bookstore. River Kent was tall—so damn tall, good-looking, so damn hot he took my breath, crystal blue eyes, so damn captivating I couldn’t look away. But mostly, he was a bossy, straightforward, tell-no-lies type of man. Which didn’t work for me, since I’d been lying through my teeth for years denying my true feelings. More than that, I was not prepared to face River months after my sister had been murdered. I wasn’t ready to deal with the knowledge that she was gone and in the weeks leading up to her death I’d turned my back on her. The guilt was eating at me.
River wasn’t prepared to take no for an answer. Chaos and confusion had taken over my life. And to make matters worse, I found myself in the middle of a horrific child-trafficking case. Okay, to be fair, I didn’t find myself there, I’d purposefully inserted myself into the TAKEBACK investigation. And since I’d volunteered to go undercover, River did more than insert himself—he took over and declared himself my protector.
Did I mention I was madly, deeply in love with him? Did I mention he was the man of my dreams? Did I mention River thought going undercover was dangerous, crazy, and not a good idea? Turns out River was right, and just when all of my wildest dreams had come true, they were torn away, and I was left in shambles.
Review:
I was waiting on River's story and I must say I wasn't disappointed!
River and Lettie have been "penpals" for a long., too long, time! They met in a weird but funny way and kept in contact. River slowly fell for Lettie and he needed and wanted to finally meet her. He missed some important parts of her life and decided, or was bullied :) to take the leap. He's always liked her spunk and knew she was his forever, even if she didn't.
Lettie was hurting and the pain was unlike something she has ever felt. She carried the world on her shoulders and blamed herself for things out of her control. Lettie needed an out for the things she carried on her back and in her soul. She needed to breath and her knight would soon get to her to stop the pain.
River and Lettie's story was an great journey of letting go and being free. Free from the tragedies that has been endured and free from the guilt. I loved this story and enjoyed the road they were on. The struggles they faced together made them stronger and showed how strong Lettie truly is.
Kudos to Scott Rider and Michelle Sparks for bringing this story to life.
