This is the first of Penny’s books that I’ve read, but I will without a doubt be diving into more as fast as my finger can one-click
Penny is a new to me author and her story is so intricate. It is like walking down a path you have never walked on before. Her characters are so real, they seem to be laying on the couch with you.
Hedge has had life take the biggest crap it can on her. As she struggles to find herself again and over come the trails of of this storm her loving cousin does what he cans, including finding Hedge a new job with a hot boss.
Memphis has so much in his plate he can barley keep up with his business. His life took a big swerves day he is doing everything he can to hold on and keep his fathers business.
This story has some twists and turns, ups and downs, but I wasn’t able to stop reading. Now to buy the next and find out the conclusion for the duo.
This was my first time reading anything from Penny Blush and it won’t be the last cause I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!! Yes, this was a cliffhanger, and didn’t know, and I know I need to know what happens to Memphis and Hedge!!
I loved the storyline, the characters, how they met, what happens, just everything. Not going to lie, it did start off great, but then slowed right down for me, but then picked up again. I loved the internal dialogue the characters had with themselves.
I also loved that the author Penny didn’t mind using ! in sentences!! I find some authors are afraid to use them, and it loses the emotion they are trying to emote.
I really enjoyed the mystery behind Hedge, and how she came about, but I was shocked when it ended in a cliffhanger though.
Memphis sounds so hot hot hot!!!! And with Hedge and her sass, they’re a prefect match for each other!!!
I just loved that they put each other in their places!
There were so many twists and turns in the book, and I loved it, cause I couldn’t stop reading it!
Some of my fave quotes from the book:
1. But I wanted to see if he had the face to go with the tall, broad-shouldered, long-legged, growly voiced Sex-God thing he had going on. – Hedge knew he was so sexy!!!
2. I need to get my hormones under control before I walk over there and start humping his leg. – ROFL!!!! Hedge had a lot of composure that’s for sure.
3. Death-bye-smile, that’s a thing, right? – Hedge thought Memphis had the best smile ever.
4. Had me wanting to scream that she’s mine. Yes, damn it, MINE! – YES Memphis!! GO GET HER!!
5. I want to cuddle the shit out of her, amongst other things. – ROFL!! See, big burly guys can be teddy bears too!
6. “Now Memphis, please for the love of all that is Holy, will you now please shut up and fuck me?” – Hedge knows what she wants, and isn’t afraid to ask for it!
7. “I can’t give you my heart, because you already stole it.” – SWOON MOMENT!!!!
