She’s a force to be reckoned with and everything I’ll never deserve.
Just one taste and I’ll set fire to my past to keep her.
I’ve given my life to protect the ones I love.
My sister.
My country.
My hometown.
An injury overseas has me back in Clementine Creek before the ink on my discharge papers has time to dry.
It’s a loss I feel deep in my bones.
Nothing in my life has ever been permanent – the good things always have one foot out the door.
Except her.
Rhea Thayer is my best friend’s little sister.
But she’s not so little anymore.
She smells like frosting and feels like a sanctuary I haven’t earned.
I need to be better. I want to do this right.
When she forces my hand, all bets are off.
An unstoppable inferno rages between us. It’s a need I know will never be sated.
Just when happiness seems within reach, the unthinkable happens.
And everything I’ve worked for since I was fourteen is at stake.
How can you take a chance on forever when all you see is your past?
My life hangs in the balance of a single choice. I just pray I won’t lose it all.
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:
“…bottom line is we all have baggage and it’s up to the
people we build a relationship with if they want to help us carry it or
not. We can’t make that decision for
them.”
After his discharge from the military Sorren returns to the
only home he had known. Rhea had become
his best friend and his safe place. When
feelings start to come into play, Sorren is afraid he will lose her. So, he tries to keep them in the friend zone,
but Rhea eventually forces his hand.
Forever in the Country is the fifth book in the Clementine
Creek series by Alexandra Hale. This was
a new-to-me author, and I was looking forward to reading this book. The book itself was great, easy to read, and
had wonderful characters, but I suggest reading the series in order. I read it
as a standalone and there were times when I got confused when the author
referred to previous instances. I fell
in love with the people and the small town of Clementine Creek! I loved the witty banter, the large family,
and the drama. I have to go back and read
the previous books because I am hooked on Clementine Creek!
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
A romance lover and reading enthusiast, Alexandra finally began putting pen to paper shortly after graduating college. An unobtainable dream has slowly become a reality with the love and support of her friends and family and the romance community.
She currently writes steamy, small town romance with a dash of lighthearted fun and happily ever afters that will make you swoon.
