This book was really
hard to get into. It was a slow starter for me and I kept with it in spits and
spurts. It was a pick me up, put me down
book. I was so glad I kept with it. The main character is disabled and lives on
her family farm. She is cared for but has a cousin who makes her life worse by
being incredibly mean. She so longs for love, travel, the things other people
take for granted. Her brother leaving
the farm for a life in the US on a ranch really is hard on her. Then a visitor comes to stay at their B&B
and her life is to change in all the best ways possible. This book does unfold to become a really
great romance that tugs at your heart strings as you go through the hurdles
with these two as they find each other.
Stay with the book it’s worth it in the end!
Description From
NetGalley:
From bestselling
author Amanda Prowse comes a heartwarming tale of first impressions and lasting
love.
Thomasina ‘Hitch’
Waycott loves living and working on the remote family farm and B&B. But she
also wants more. To see the world. To own her own home. To fall madly in love.
But those are fairy
tales, and if her life is a fairy tale, then she’s the ugly duckling. Her
deformed lip, her crooked limbs and her weak heart have kept her from taking
chances. But that’s about to change.
When Grayson Potts
comes to stay, he’s unlike anyone Thomasina has ever met. He’s aloof, eccentric
and exceptionally kind. He’s also totally unconcerned with the physical flaws
that have always defined Thomasina.
The two form a bond
that neither has had before. It’s possible that it could become something more,
but Thomasina also wonders if it’s too good to be true. By putting her heart on
the line, Thomasina may open herself to heartbreak. But she may also open
herself to so much more.
