AUTHOR: Samantha Towle
GENRE: Romance
PUBLICATION: January 12th, 2019
Synopsis
A new town. A new identity. Pregnant and alone.
And far away from a past that can never find me.
River Wild.
Moody. Sullen. Asshole.
And my new neighbor.
I have no interest in befriending River. And he definitely doesn’t want to be befriended by me.
Then, he helps me rescue an abandoned dog. And, that day, I see something in his eyes that reflects back in my own. Sadness. Pain. Loneliness.
I know all of those things well.
An unwanted and unexpected friendship that somehow works. Then, without warning, it turns into something more.
River and I both have our secrets, and that’s okay. Because I understand him. And he understands me.
For the first time in my life, I have something I never thought I would have—happiness.
But happiness isn’t forever. Not for people like me.
Especially not when my past is waiting just around the corner, ready to come and take it all away.

My Review
❝ Sometimes, I feel like he's the other half of my soul. The part I was missing but didn't realise until the day when I looked into his eyes and saw him. The real him.❞
’RIVER WILD’
’RIVER WILD’
Is a full length ‘romance’ novel by author ‘Samantha Towle’ Spoken in Dual Perspectives.
The ’Prologue’ had my attention from the get go, it literally started off with a bang, my heart stopped, it cracked in half, as we meet a wee boy named River at the age of eight who took matters into his own hands to save his mama and to put a stop to the games he didn’t like playing.
Then the next chapter hooked me even further as we meet Annie, an abused victim married to a highly respected detective. For seven years she’s been at the end of his fists, finding out that she’s pregnant got the ball rolling and she finally gathers the strength to leave him. Changing her name, her identity, and making her way to Canyon Lake, a place he will never think to hunt for her knowing how much she despises the humidity.
❝ I walk out the front door, leaving Annie Coombs behind,
