ABOUT THE BOOK
Angela Martin doesn’t need a man. She runs her mom’s horse barn on an idyllic coastal island and has plenty of lovers ready anytime she winks. Unfortunately, no one else makes her feel like Jax did on their one night together four years ago. Before he left.
Everyone needs Jaxon Evans: his family, his bandmates, and his fans. He can’t think about what he needs…or about the woman he wrapped up in his muscled drummer’s arms on the single best night of his life.
But then a chance encounter in a fancy hotel brings it all back for one unexpected weekend, and this time, it’s different.
It’s fate.
When Jax’s band takes an indefinite break, he volunteers to help out at Angela’s barn. Her protective walls are up higher than ever, but Jax can see what she hides from everyone, including herself.
With love on the line, how can he prove he’s her “one”?
MY REVIEW
I love Christina Braver’s Penny Harbor series. In true form, her captivating characters drew me in as their uplifting love story warmed my heart.
Jax is part of a Grammy award winning country band and Angela is a small town vet tech and horse trainer. Their first meeting is an instant attraction leading to a one-night stand. The second meeting is coincidence where they rekindle that first unforgettable night together. The third meeting is deliberate as Jax moves to Angela’s home town of Penny Harbor after his band breaks up so he can pursue the woman he has never forgotten from the first time he met her.
Jax’s kind and caring personality draws you in, and his patient pursuit of Angela is delightful to watch as he slowly breaks down her walls. Angela is independent and stubborn, and her initial resistance to Jax’s charming personality and fierce pursuit is understandable. But his gentle support and hard work at the farm earn her trust and respect, leading to a rewarding ending.
What I loved most about Jax and Angela’s relationship was their playful and sexy banter. Their chemistry was electric, and their slow journey to love was relatable and authentic, resonating with anyone who has found the one but is scared of committing. The heat between them was palpable, and their great sex scenes left me wanting more.
Braver’s writing is both engaging and evocative as she captures the nuances of human emotions and relationships. And, the cast of memorable characters, including Angela’s beloved horses, and interesting venues add interest and insight to an already enjoyable romance. The book is a perfect blend of humor, romance, and drama that will keep you hooked until the very end.
I highly recommend this delightful read that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you with a renewed sense of hope and optimism. This unforgettable novel is bound to leave you smiling long after you have turned the final page.
Thank you to Ms. Braver for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
