A small-town, forbidden, standalone, new adult romance with Footloose meets A Star is Born vibes from USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Jewel E. Ann
Her boyfriend’s older brother should be off-limits, but he’s a sinful temptation.
Sarah is a preacher’s daughter and a people pleaser. She’s also on the verge of graduating high school and following her dream of singing in Nashville. The only thing standing in her way is that the entire town of Devil’s Head, Missouri, thinks she will marry Matt, the son of the town’s richest rancher.
But Sarah’s not sure he’s her future husband, especially when his older brother, Isaac, returns home after serving six years in the Army. He has tattoos on his arms and bad habits that are not “father-approved.”
When he’s not working on the ranch or roping at the rodeo, Isaac hangs out in the barn, playing his guitar. He’s trouble, but Sarah's music-loving heart gravitates toward him.
Isaac loves consuming Sarah’s mind, crawling under her skin, backing her into corners, and whispering inappropriate things in her innocent ears.
After weeks of playful banter and guitar lessons blurring the line between right and wrong, Issac makes Sarah a proposition she can’t refuse.
But when the unthinkable happens, and everything she knows is destroyed, will Sarah make the right choice?
My Review
This was the one book I was anticipating like no other book before it, throw in the teasers making its rounds and my anticipation levels skyrocketed, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it, once it arrived on my ipad game over, life on hold and I lapped up every single word and loved every single minute of it.
I think Jewel E. Ann portrayed this preacher's daughter perfectly, Miss Goody Two Shoes who was a prim and proper people pleaser, who loved god to a fault, and always walked the line of goodness, but she wanted more out of life, she wanted the fire crackers and firsts to count, where she's seen and her dreams and aspirations matter. Where she's not molded into everyone's expectations.
Having a preacher as a father isn't an easy life for Sarah and her siblings there's so many expectations and responsibilities on their shoulders, even more so when Sarah started dating Matt, the good looking neighbours boy everyone had them married off and to keep the peace and everyone happy she never said otherwise, but life threw a curve ball when her boyfriends older brother Isaac returns from his stint away at the Army and she sees him in church on Easter Sunday.
Twists and Turns
Secrets and Lies
Heartbreak and Hope
Isaac is the fall guy, he's the families biggest disappointment, the underdog, whereas Matt is the golden child and is always put first.
