Loved this short read by Winter, that is part of a collection from a group of authors. Jake had my heart from the get go, the first time he set eyes on Poppy I think he loved her but she was his friend’s girlfriend. Over time he realises things are not good between them, then the unthinkable happens and she turns to Jake to help.
She is like a shadow of her former self and he is determined for her to get her sparkle back.
This was a great read. Poppy needs help and Jake is there to the rescue. Their relationship turns into so much more. Will Jake be able to help Poppy move forward? A great read. I’d love to have more of their story.
Ok, this book started off hard, but through it something beautiful occurred and I found myself falling in love with two characters. Poppy and Jake are amazing together. She is so in her head because of her past and what happened to her, but Jake shows so much patience and caring. I couldn’t help but smile numerous times through the story and cheer when someone got a beating that they so richly deserved!
Overall, this was a wonderful quick read that I thoroughly enjoyed. Winter Travers has a way of writing that is always engaging and pulls me right into the storyline with the characters. She makes them all memorable in their own way and really has me empathizing with them. Two, two thumbs up from me!! Happy reading!
Great book. I would have loved to see it a bit longer, but it was a great read. It’s filled with drama from the beginning & will draw you in. I really felt sorry for what Poppy went through, but admired how she kept her head up & never gave up. This is a great novella & I look forward to reading more!
What a great way to end this year-long, one a month, series of stories that all revolve around the Last Resort Motel. From the 1st book to the last the stories have captured my heart with all the memorable events that brought people to the motel and their particular rooms. This is very true with room 19.
Jake has lived next to Poppy and listen to fight after fight between her and her boyfriend. While sensing that trouble is escalating, Jake is unable to convince Poppy to leave him. That is until one morning @2:30 a.m., when she knocks on his door, bloody and bruised, pleading for him to help her. Jake carries her to the “Last Resort Motel” due to it being secluded and off the beaten path. A place she’ll be safe and it will give her time to heal. What they don’t count on is the magic powers (as I like to refer to it) of the quaint little motel with it’s oddly numbered rooms.
Jake and Poppy’s story is tender and heartwarming. One that is not only a great addition to the series but one you don’t want to miss out on. I highly recommend all the Last Resort Motel Rooms/stories, including Room 19. I offer it 2 Thumbs Up and 5 wonderful stars.
Jake has listened to his bad his use to be friend Tyson has treated his woman Poppy for a year , he has tried to get her to leave him but she stays , then one night he wakes up to her beaten at his door and all he wants to do is leave with her.
Poppy knows she has no right to ask anything of Jake but he is all she has in the world thanks to Tyson .
They take a trip to The Last Resort Motel and room 19 is their place for almost 2 weeks.
They have a lot of things to go through , feelings to sort out and Poppy has to decide if she will remain broken or let Jake heal her body and heart.
I have loved each and every one of the books in this series!!!
