He was someone who belonged in my wildest fantasies instead
of a rest stop in the middle of Nebraska.
A sexy, cocky, Australian named Chance was the last person I
expected to run into on my cross-country drive.
When my car broke down, we made a deal. Next thing I knew,
we were traveling together, spending sexually-tense nights in hotels and taking
unplanned detours.
My ordinary road trip turned into the adventure of a
lifetime. It was all fun and games until things got intense.
I wanted him, but Chance wouldn’t made a move. I thought he
wanted me too, but something was holding him back.
I wasn’t supposed to fall for the cocky bastard, especially
when I knew we’d be going our separate ways.
All good things must come to end, right?
Except our ending was
one I didn’t see coming.
So, I know I am way behind on the Penelope and Vi Keeland
train. I’ve read all the others, but for some reason, in between school, moving
back up north, life (who knows, I have no excuse), I hadn’t gotten to this book
yet. But at the North Shore signing event, I saw this book and was like YUP I
NEEDS IT, IT IS GOING TO BE MINE! And then
I remembered I just went to Lush and got me some new bath bombs, and what more
do really need to justify a book purchase (quite frankly I never question a
Penelope book purchase)? I got home from the signing, immediately broke out
said bath bomb, the newly, beautifully signed book (I could cherish it and put
it on a shelf never to be touched, but books are meant to be read and loved), and
sunk my teeth into this monster. I never came up for air. I haven’t read a book
straight through in…I’m honestly not sure how long. It has been over a year
since I have been able to do that. I just don’t have that kind of time anymore
(not even for the books, my one true love). The characters in this books were
adorable and sassy and just so real. You could feel the tension dripping from
the pages and I loved it. Who hasn’t had that sense of wanting someone you can’t
have, of having that tension build up in such a small enclosed space over time?
The authors painted that so well in this book, it was perfect. I LOVED THE
GOAT!!!! OMG THAT GOAT WAS SO FREAKING CUTE I JUST CAN’T EVEN!!!! It was the
perfect addition to this book. I loved how we got to see two perspectives. We
got to see both of the character’s pain and desires and what they went through
to get through to the other.
This book was a five. There wasn’t anything too ridiculous
about it (other than the goat that I love and now I NEED one) that made it completely
unrealistic. It was, for me at least, impossible to put down, which felt
amazing after so long of being unable to have the opportunity to do that. I
loved the characters and the tension between them. The writing was beautiful, and, as an added bonus, this book didn’t
make me cry once, and lord knows I’m a giant blubbering idiot.
