I wanted to conquer the world.
She wanted to gaze at the stars.
It’s been twelve years since I last saw Scottie Rucker. A grim prognosis has upended my life, and no amount of my hard-earned money can fix it. So, after leaving a note on the nightstand, I search for my first love—I search for life.
When I find her in Austin, working at a quaint general store and living in an RV behind it, those twelve years vanish. She’s exactly how I remember her.
Scottie thinks our reunion is a small-world coincidence, and I’m not ready to tell her the truth. After we rekindle our friendship, she convinces me to work part-time at the store while she pursues her budding relationship with Koen, a welder and the grandson of a customer.
Scottie’s ability to live in the moment is exactly what I need. But how do I convince her new boyfriend that I’m not his competition? And what happens if my heart changes its mind?
My Review
'𝐈 𝐓H𝐎U𝐆H𝐓 𝐎F Y𝐎U'
Is a full length unique, unputdownable, contemporary romance book by Author Jewel E. Ann. Spoken in 'dual perspectives.' In this you'll meet Price, Scottie and Koen.
Not going to lie, this one pulled me through the wringer and spat me back out again, like a yo-yo one minute I didn’t know weither to smile, laugh or cry, and yet this authors quirky sense of humour shone through.
Twelve years ago they spent a whirlwind summer together which neither of them forgot. The summer between his Junior and senior years of college, and she was working at a modern day apothecary that he visited.
He wanted to conquer the world
She lived day by day.
She was the one that let him go
Her first love
Her first heartbreak
She wanted him to fight tooth and nail for her, but he never did.
Now on a mission and twelve years later Price rolls into town, Austin Texas, where Scottie works at Dummond's General Store and lives in a vintage airstream trailer behind the store. Him turning up out of the blue, had many a question arising. A strategic plan all thought out, he’s got a secret which he's running from, and she’s the only one that can shroud him in her light.
Scotty is pretty intuitive and knows something is wrong but can't pinpoint what it is.
Not that long after Price reappeared in her life an elderly man, who is one of her favourite customers suggests she go out on a blind date with his grandson Koen, his only mention was that he’s a shy guy.
Both aren’t the greatest at first dates, so he tries to break the ice before the actual date. It’s cute, it's sweet. And what could’ve been a disaster turns out to be perfect.
He's the one that makes her think of a future.
