Review: Ringo!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 5, 2014
After reading the first three books in The Summer Series and loving each Onslow boy in his own way, I couldn't wait to read Ringer's story. In the other books he appears to be the most playful of the group and always ready to get up to no good. In the beginning of this novella, it is clear that he needs a little escape from his hometown since his friends are all busy being nauseatingly in love."Yeah, Onslow was beautiful; it was also bathed in romance. Sweet doe-eyed looks, hand holding, giggles, freakin' sunshine and rainbows. It was enough to make your beer go flat."He cracks me up with his complaining and teasing at their expense. I am pretty sure in the third book of the series, Sean commented to him something along the lines of, "Just you wait and see, it'll happen to you, too." So, of course, running away from them leads them right where he never knew he wanted to be.Once he arrives at the farm where he will be working for a few weeks, he is immediately accosted by Miranda Henry. Miranda was freaking hilarious. She is bitchy as all get out, and initially comes across as self-centered and unappreciative. Personally, I found her pretty freaking awesome. She can definitely hold her own against Ringer and his antics. I like that she even manages to shock him, given the way he has flirted shamelessly in the past with other poor girls."...she had completely taken me over, dominating me from the first touch until I was a quivering mess who would do anything she wanted."Obviously, I am not going to give much away in this review. Just that the two of them do not get along, causing them to pull some funny little pranks on each other, especially Miranda's first one. And the chemistry between the two is undeniable, even when they are hating each other. My only issue is that it's too short, as much as I hate to say that. I wanted more of their shenanigans, and really just more of them. Since each book includes the different characters from along the way, I am hoping we might catch a glimpse of them in the upcoming novella about Adam and Ellie. I have been waiting for that since the first book!! I really liked this and it is a definite must-read for fans of the series!! 4 StarsReceived an ecopy in exchange for an honest review.Reviewed by Lea.
