Cowboy
bikers, fireworks, and romance, oh my…
Wild girl,
Mia Sherman, has a secret—she isn’t as fearless as she pretends. Descended from
Lonesome Point, Texas’s founding family, Mia grew up hearing tales of an old
Irish curse that had followed the Shermans to America. At age twenty-four, Mia
is still terrified of the stories, because they aren’t stories. They are a
warning about what will happen if Mia allows love and romance into her life.
The curse struck Mia’s grandmother and her great-great-whatever grandmother,
and Mia knows she could be next. The first-born daughter of every generation is
cursed to lose her husband on her wedding night, which is one of the many
reasons Mia has sworn off relationships.
Until the
fateful day Sawyer Kane rides his Harley into her life …
Rancher
turned restoration expert, Sawyer Kane, can’t believe his luck when the feisty
owner of the lingerie shop next to his hotel turns out to be the curator of his
latest project, a ghost town he’s been sent to restore. He’s looking forward to
long, hot days talking history, and hotter nights with Mia, but the redhead
with the killer smile seems determined to keep him at a friendly distance. But
when a dangerous man from Mia’s past arrives in town, Sawyer finds himself
drawn into her inner circle, and into the legend of Lonesome Point itself.
Can true
love conquer all, even a centuries-old curse? Mia and Sawyer may be the first
to find out.
Okay, honestly time.
There were things that I really liked about this book and some things I
scratched my head over.
I really liked Sawyer’s character. He was strong, mature, and attracted to Mia
from the get go. He was absolutely
dedicated to restoring the town and pretty much a bad ass on his Harley. Mia on the other hand just rubbed me the
wrong way. I think she acted too strong
as a woman to have the past play such a huge part in her life now. She never seems terrified or worried
throughout the whole book until towards the end. I guess I am confused because her past, to
me, should have made her more timid and cautious. However, she acted completely normal and
becomes involved with Sawyer quickly much to my surprise. There were other actions that didn’t quite
work for me but I don’t want to ruin anything from the book so this is as far
as I will go.
I did like Mia’s grandmother (although disappointed in her at
the end.) Bubba was a great character that kept the story interesting and gave
Sawyer a better insight into Mia. And the mystery that Evans left us with at
the end started a pretty interesting question as to what really happened.
