In this point, i have to say that i hated so much this awful man, Neil and almost all the people in this town that our heroes were leaving... They were hypocrites and judgemental assholes and i hated them... But there was also in this shit, some diamonds who were hiding in the mud and i liked them for their behavior...

The scars of our heroes were running very deep inside of them, but together they could heal from the ugly past....A new life, a safe place to lay her head down at nights and to raise her child when it finally arrives, a new job, things are slowly looking up, the only downside is her rude arrogant neighbour River Wild. Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Carrie and River's story. Carrie finds out she is pregnant and that is her last straw to convince herself to run away from her abusive husband. She ends up being neighbors with the grumpy jerk River. After more and more encounters, Carrie sees something in River and they form an unlikely friendship. There are some big secrets from both of their pasts that gets revealed, some sweet moments, and a few suspenseful scenes...and they get a HFN ending.

Fist impressions of River are he is moody, a bit of a grouch and doesn't like people, this is Rivers defence mechanism, following the death of his step-father the family was shunned, rejected by town people. As for River??? God, my heart was aching for him... Not only for the past that was holding him a prisoner, but also for the isolation that he was forced to live... I hated all the people that made him like this... because he wasn't deserving all these shits that they were throwing his way... I don't generally select titles with this level of pain, darkness, intensity and much dispair. I need a happy, peppy, lovey, (sometimes kinda filthy) storyline. So, if you have those similar tastes...you MIGHT be taking a gamble with this title.Carrie,❞ she softly calls my name, and I stop and turn around. She takes a step toward me, her voice lowering. ❝I just want to say … I’m really glad you got away from … the door.❞

Also, i enjoyed very much the realistic pace that the author put in the relationship between Carrie and River... It was the rightest thing she could do!!!! They need each other, and their romance builds beautifully. That final shift is so perfect for them – playful, honest and so full of emotion, and I was practically delirious with glee seeing them finally take that step. GREAT ROMANCE with some very heartbreaking but also some very adorable and fun moments. I loved reading it! It’s sexy and sweet, and they are so right together. They deserve the happiness that they bring to each other’s lives, and I loved their love story so much. When I started this I wasn't really sure about it. I do like books that have guys that have some sort of depth and River definitely had that. Watching the forever optimistic Carrie slowly win over the pessimistic River was addictive. I couldn't stop listening.I feel a bit stupid now But I started this, so I have to forge on. I rub my hands together. “Well, I was just wondering…are we…friends?” The way the relationships starts and how it turns to something else was intriguing. I have found other stories like this a bit annoying and drag on, but I listened to this all night and didn't want to miss anything. The way she was able to slowly become part of his life was good and not at all predictable, I thought anyway. I found it refreshing how it wasn't all smooth sailing. I loved how much River was interested in her pregnancy. And then this sexy girl moves in next door and changes everything with her smiles and her dog and her questions ....

River's Grandmother raised him and taught him her trade of 'Glass Blowing' in the hopes that it would help ease the demons waring within him, his mother serving time in prison but when she gets killed River blames himself. hm. so, like, um, well, yeah. that whole out of nowhere plot point was weird, felt very jarring, and didn't make a whole lotta sense. personally, i did not think it fit with the tone of the story, it really pulled me out of the book, and its never fully utilized in the first place. therefore i ask, why was it included? for real, why? someone, please, explain, thank you.

Obviously everything, lol. It's been a while since I've read a book this fast. I just couldn't put it down. This was the first time I read a book by this author and it won't be the last. The writing style was great for me and the fact that the chapters were short really helped me get more involved in the story. Yep, it was breaking my heart over and over again, but at the same time, Mrs. Towle was giving me hope to love, to humanity!!!!
