Summary:
A sexy small town romance from New York
Times and USA Today Bestselling author Jessie Evans
This ride is going to last a lot longer than eight seconds...
Female professional bull rider, Reece Hearst, graduated from the
school of hard knocks. With honors. Because life is like bull riding--when it
sends you to the dirt, you do whatever it takes to get on your feet, even if
you have to crawl. Like when officials stripped her of her rodeo queen title on
the basis of vicious gossip years ago and not even her father would believe her
side of the story. Reece could have stayed in the dust, wallowing. Instead, she
fixed Lonesome Point in her rearview, joined the pro circuit, and never looked
back. But now a serious injury threatens to end her career and she's back in
Lonesome Point, living next door to the family that once made her life a living
hell.
After multiple tours of duty in Afghanistan and his father's
death, all Grayson Parker wants is to get his family's cattle business back in
the black and live a quiet life. But the return of Reece Hearst opens old
wounds, throwing his ordered world into chaos. Grayson was serving overseas
when Reece was a teenager and can't believe the girl he once knew has grown
into a heartbreaker as hardened as she is beautiful.
Grayson finds a kindred spirit in wounded Reece and soon longs to
be the man to show her that there is life after pain and loss. But can two
people as damaged as Reece and Grayson find their way to happily ever after? Or
will the scars on their hearts forever keep them apart?
Review:
***
I received ARC for an honest review. Thank you ***
I
received a copy of Glitter and Grit by Jessie Evans. This is my first book by
her and I was not disappointed!
Reece
is a champion bull rider. She has left her hometown after she was hurt
mentally, physically and emotionally. She never wanted to return home after
everything that she had gone through, however being sidelined because of an
injury she has no other choice. Reece is strong and very independent. She draws
up walls though not wanting to be hurt more than she already has.
Grayson
is an army hottie, a true protector at heart. He always wanted to make things
right. Even though Reece tries pushing him away, he continues trying to be in
her life. He tries to break down those walls. He has his own little walls that
he keeps up, not wanting anyone to break them down. He doesn’t care about the
past, all he cares about is making Reece feel comfortable.
Throughout
the story, you see both of them slowly break the walls that they had built up
down. They each slowly make their way into each other’s lives and prove that no
matter the past, no matter the history someone can be there to hold you up.
They use sarcastic and witty remarks to make each other laugh. They show the
other that they can be handful, but it doesn’t bother them.
This
book was sexy, witty, humorous, and at times suspenseful. I haven’t read the
other books in this series, but I highly recommend this one. Reece was a great,
bad-ass female lead and Grayson made an awesome book boyfriend, proving that
alphas can be really hot!
