| Payton “Pip” Whittier left Haven, Ohio nine years ago. She deserted her home when she was humiliated by the love of her life and her sister, Charlotte. Her other sister, Kara, had also fallen out of grace with the family. It seemed as if only the gorgeous, pageant-winning girls could be considered worthy of their mother’s attention. Pip was always the tomboy and never measured up. She had come home to stay—regardless of the animosity of her mother and sister. She just had to live in the same town as Jeff “Cowboy” Diver—her long-lost love.
Jeff Diver, his twin Jason and his older brother Ryan knew something was different when they entered the local bar. When they spotted Pip Whittier they were shocked that the little tomboy had changed into a woman who knew how to draw attention to herself. Jeff (Cowboy) felt he’d been kicked in the gut. He was immediately drawn back to the day he had sold out and left her looking like a fool. He wondered if he would ever be able to explain why he acted like he did. J.C. Wilder has presented us with an intense book which grabbed my attention at the first and never let go. This contemporary romance had a sensuality score that shot through the roof. This definitely is not for the timid reader. For the adventurous reader, however, this is the book to read. Wilder’s characters were vibrant, likeable people which kept me turning the pages. The myriad of supporting players in this book meshed together to create an above-average saga. The storyline pivoted around the long-time love story between two people who couldn’t quite forget the other. Nine years left a time gap, but one Wilder was able to capture in her unique way. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading a sizzling romance with lots of twists and turns on the way to its happily-ever-after. You will not be disappointed.
