It's very seldom that I am blown away by an author's debut novel, but after beta reading Covered in Coal, I can honestly say that Silla Webb is a true artist with her words and the emotions she depicts through her characters. This story was beautifully written, and I didn't want to put it down for a single second.Carly Jo Simon is thrown through the wringer when Colton, her boyfriend of three years, ends their relationship without any warning. Carly is left devastated by the unexpected blow, but the icing on the cake comes the next day when she discovers she is pregnant with his child. At seventeen, this would be a lot for any young woman to take on, but when her father, the man she has looked up to her whole life, is less than understanding and refuses to support her in any way, she finds herself running away from home to start over on her own with a baby on the way.Seven years have passed, giving Carly time to grow and mature into a more independent woman. She returns home to say her goodbyes to her ailing father and make amends, only to find that he has made her CEO of his coal mining company. With that comes the reappearance of the boy she once loved. Now Colton is all man and cocky as ever, but deep down he is dealing with his own inner demons. The closer they become, the more their secrets are revealed, but is the love they share strong enough to hold them together? I'll leave that for you to discover!I highly recommend this steamy and suspenseful romance novel, and the ending will have you clinging to the edge of your seat!**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.**
