Wow. Now that is how you write a novella. This was a short read, but packed such a punch. With such a variety of emotions, it read more like a full novel than just a glimpse into Jenna & Rusty's struggle to find their way together beyond the fears that held them back.Jenna is not the type of girl to live in the same small town she grew up in, she has big dreams to escape the small town life. Rusty has always known that Jenna was not the kind of girl to stick. He was just waiting and enjoying the ride until the one day when she finally left, left him.Rusty's past can't seem to let him admit what he feels for Jenna, but it sure does a number on how he reacts to her. Between his fear of her one day walking away and her fear that he never saw their relationship for more than just a good time, these two are the poster children for miscommunication.There are some pretty tragic moments that occur during this one, which again, for being so short it was amazing how much emotion you felt. But sometimes it takes a tragic moment to find something beautiful that you overlooked. For Jenna and Rusty finding that beautiful was not an easy road - it took facing fears of your past and fears of what your future would hold. But when you love someone that much it's worth it.And in between the disaster of these two, we get loads of Cami & Trick as they are approaching their very own HEA courtesy of a walk down a particular aisle. This was a story that felt like forever ago that I had read, but within just a few pages I recalled every part of the first in the series. Which just shows how much that story just stuck, I can't wait to see what comes next in the series - hoping that we get more of the whole bunch.And let's just take a moment to say that Rusty and Jenna set fire to my eff'n Kindle. The tease that occurs at the start of this was like slowly stoking a fire, and when that fire finally caught, it was hotter than hell.
