WOW, where have I been and why haven’t I read this earlier.
I couldn’t put this one down. I had seen this around the blogosphere for a
while and decided to buy it. Thought I would give it a try in between reading
review books and I have been blown away. Mind you, this is the UNCUT version
that I picked up without realising. Abbi Glines is a magician; her writing
style and characters are addictive and I instantly fell in love with Beau.
**sigh**
Beau and Sawyer Vincent are cousins that have grown up
together. Have forever been best friends and team mates and also the best
friends of Ashton Gray. Meeting Ashton when they were just five years old, they
all rambled around the town and into mischief together. The three were always
joined at the hip and taking care of one another. Until things started to
change, they grew older and the boys noticed that Ashton was changing; she was
changing into a GIRL.
When they were fourteen, Sawyer built up his courage and
asked Ashton to be his girlfriend. They have been together now for 3 years.
BUT, Sawyer has gone away on a family vacation into the mountains. Phone
reception and computer internet services are questionable at best and Ashton is
left to her own devices. Ashton keeps running into Beau, since Sawyer and
Ashton became an item, he was left out of the loop and they haven’t spoken
since.
Now for some reason, Ashton has taken it upon herself to
make friends with Beau once again and make things right. She remembers all the
fun and good times they all had together and wants that back. Beau keeps
testing her boundaries and causing Ashton to have little tingling’s and heart
thrashing moments. He wants to test Ashton to see what her true feelings are.
With each visit, their feelings return and they find they need to find ways to
see each other.
What will happen when Sawyer returns? Small towns always
have gossip, what is everybody saying about Beau and Ashton being seen
together? Being the Preacher’s daughter, what will good girl Ashton get up to?
Who will win the heart of Ashton in the end?
This book took me on a journey of an emotional discovery. I
was crying with Ashton; laughing with Ashton and oohing and aahing over Beau.
It travels through the teenage heart with self-discovery, hard life decisions,
loyalty and betrayal. I fell so hard for this book that I had to buy The Vincent
Brothers and start it straight after. Please note though, that the UNCUT
version does have a few scenes with sexy detailing that would be aimed at the
more mature young adult. Any-who, highly recommend to all romance readers.
