The saying goes that there is a fine line between love and hate...but what happens when the line becomes blurred?
When life hands Phoebe Andrews her dream job, she’s ecstatic. That is, until she realizes that in order to pursue her dream she’ll have to give up her cosmopolitan lifestyle in Chicago and move to Nashville. As if leaving all she knows behind wasn’t enough, a car accident on her first day in town does nothing to convince the city girl that country living is all it’s cracked up to be.
As an only child, Dean Montgomery has obligations—obligations which have left him angry at the world. Just as his monotone life has begun to leave him jaded, he is brought back to earth with a bang...literally.
Fate conspires to bring the city girl and the country boy together, but can Dean stay out of trouble long enough for the pair to test the boundaries of their tempestuous relationship?
My Thoughts:
Phoebe has worked hard to get where shes at and jumped at the chance for a raise and a transfer for her job. She was ecstatic until she heard that she'll be relocated to Nashville Tennessee. On the way to Tennessee she gets up in an accident.
Dean has an ok relationship with his mum and dad and work hard on the family farm. One day running an errand he ends up in an accident with a girl he calls barbie. Knowing his parents they are going to blame it on him he lets them know about the accident.
His parents take it upon themselves to take the girl into their home and care for her until she is fully healed afterwards she can walk out of their lives and never look back. What they weren't expecting was how much the family would be into her and after a while "Barbie" starts to feel like family. As the two start to fall for eachother, Dean has a hard time keeping himself out of trouble.
I really loved this quick and fun read. I loved that I got both POV for Dean and Pheobe, it really helped me enjoy the characters more. I liked that I got to see how they dealt with certain situations and feel sympathy when mistakes happen to go ruin things. I don't think I would've liked Dean if I didn't get his side of the story. By getting both their POV they felt more like living breathing people who make mistakes and think about their actions. I liked how the pace was set for the book and my only problem was that I felt like it was a bit rushed towards the ending with the whole bunch of months passing by but that fine. I loved the ending and I don't feel as though there was anything missing. Such a great book.
Overall I loved the book and highly recommend you lovely readers to check out this book.
BTW if you are wondering about the song connected to this review its called Cowboys and Angels by Dustin Lynch its mentioned in this great book.
When Stacey isn't writing, she's a full-time mom, which means she's a cook, chauffeur, maid, nurse and constantly on the go. She was born and raised in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan which is where she resides today. Raising her children as a single parent has proven it's difficulties but she doesn't let that stop her from doing the things that make her happy. In her down time, which is rare, you can find her curled up with a book.
