My Review
An Amazing Debut Book - Fantastic read
Cricket moves to be near her friend Chelle. She's trying to get away from her old life and start new. After taking a wrong turn while driving she get knocks down a mail box and gets the car stuck in the mud up a beaten path. A man come to help get her out, after he gets the car out the mud, she drives off as she panic's thinking he could be a killer or something. She heads to the nearest ranger station and explains to them. They know the guy, it's Lil Samson Jyme- a native American, he's no killer.
Later on Jyme gets her number from the ranger station and calls but she hangs up on him so he calls the next day. They eventually meet up and take things from there. She's not looking for a relationship and has started a new job. He's a gentleman. But the attraction is strong.
Can they both over come the past, and the obstacles that are in their way? They are both hiding secrets and it could threaten everything they are trying to build.
OK girls, this is a MUST read. This book is an amazing Debut book by Phoenix Rayne. It needs to go to the top of your "TBR" list. This is a book featuring a real size woman, at the beginning I laughed so hard at some of the comments Cricket makes about herself, as it was something I would say.
I loved this book, like seriously loved it. It was amazing. I read it in one go. I loved everything about this book. You guys know I don't do spoilers and this one is no different. I cant say too much without giving this book away. All I will say is wow. This had me on the edge of my seat. Phoenix Rayne is an Author to watch out for. I loved Cricket I don't think we've heard all of her story and Jyme really never seen that coming. I loved his mum Mrs JJ.
When it got to the end of the book I gasped very loud. I cant wait for book 2. This one pulls at your emotions.
I would give this 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments
About the Author
Author Interview
Tell us about you?
I love to read and write, If I'm not reading then I am probably writing. I'm single because I'm constantly cheating on my real life boyfriend with my book boyfriends.
What was your inspiration behind writing this Debut book?
I lived in Washington State for 4 years and I loved it while I was there. I was so intrigued by the Native American Reservations and their culture. I met A LOT of HOT Natives and quickly learned how hard they love. All the guys that I met and spoke with were extremely passionate about life and love. It gave me chills and that where I mustard up this story.
Is There a "Thing" you do to get into the zone for writing?
Not really, It sort of hits me like a ton of brinks. Now when I am in that so called zone, I shut my phone and T.V. off. I like soft music playing in the back ground and that's about it. OH I almost forgot, and a nice bottle of wine, or maybe a few....
Is any part of the book about you?
Not to give anything away. My fav part is when Cricket finds out about Jymes family trait. I had a really hard time keeping it together on that one.
Who is your favorite character in the book?
Oh this is tough it's like picking a favorite child.....uhmmmmm It's in between Mrs. JJ and D'Artagnan. I love both of those characters and I bring them out more in the next two books.
What are you reading at the moment?
Oh goodness I'm currently reading 3 books right now. One of my besties introduced me to The Mortal Instruments. I know I'm super late reading them but I love them so far. I'm also reading The Spectacular Now, I loved the movie and I started the books afterwards. My Third book is Real by Katy Evans, I'm almost finished with it and my goodness it's good.
Did you read as a child and what was your favorite book?
YES, my parents could'nt get my nose out of books. I loved the classics when I was growing up. Anything by Jane Austen and The Bronte Sisters. Pride and Prejudice is my ALL TIME FAV...
What Can you tell us about the next book?
Well I can say it's a gripping love story, It's unscripted, unrehearsed and very raw. If you are in the mood for a book that holds no bars, and will cut you to the core, The From Love to Loathe Series is for you.
Whats next for you?
Well I got a call yesterday from my publishers to do Anthology with a few other Authors. I agreed and it should be out by the holidays. I signed 13 of my already written books with my Publishing Company. Those will be sprinkled out during 2014. I have a Fantasy Love Story for Valentines Day, A Ghost Romance for the Hot summer, and the rest are twisted up Love Stories.
