Sadie's life is in a bit of an upheaval. Her boyfriend of 6 years broke up with her, her father couldn't keep his pants zipped and has moved their family from Chicago to Texas for a new start. Now she is in a new town, trying to make new friends and in desperate need of a job. When the chance to work on the Johnson Farm presents itself, she jumps on the opportunity. And that is where she meets Landon. Landon works hard on his family's farm because it is what his parents want; but his true passion is cars. Racing them and building them. He doesn't date, but has a harem of bleach blondes following him around town. Sadie has no intention of joining that mob, but she can't help but be attracted to Landon.Working on the farm together every day helps fuel the connection between these two. For the first time in years, Landon wants to spend time with and get to know a girl. And although Sadie has had her heart broken before, she is willing to risk it again for him.I truly enjoyed J.M. La Rocca's first two novels, Lifeless and My Beautiful. So I was looking forward to reading this one. It was well written but unfortunately fell short of the mark for me. I just didn't connect as well with the characters or the story. And honestly, I wasn't feeling the connection between Sadie and Land either. I needed something more from them. Then there is the ending. Yeah, I was not a fan. My issue isn't really with what happened at the end, but more of how it happened. It felt abrubpt and with no closure.While this book and I didn't hit it off, I will still continue to read this author.Read more reviews at[...]
