Review
This was sooooo much more than I had expected. I loved the twists and turns....going back in time to see what the situation was to bring us up to the present and why people were behaving like they were.
Layton....god what a great guy....and what a heart....look up cowboy in the dictionary....you know, the swoon worthy type....he will be there:)
Whitley....what a perfect example of battered....hiding her scars...making up stories...taking the blame...ugh, my heart ached for her throughout the book.
I must say, the moment I picked up my kindle and started reading, there was no putting it down. The angst was almost unbearable at points...the love scenes were hot...hot...hot:) I loved reading parts from Whitley's POV....and then Layton's....that was so entertaining:)
If you have ever heard of kismet....I think these two are the definition of it....the pull between them was instant.... Of course they had no idea why...and if you want to know why....you will need to read the book....no spoilers here....but I will say....the twists, the turns, the revelations.....yep.......well....then there is Courtney and Reed.....hmmmm....that's another story....read about Layton and Whitley....so you are ready to know the story of Courtney and Reed:).
Loved this....definitely a 5 star:)

“Will you do me a favor? I’m going to slowly start driving.
Will you lean out and take a look at the tire? Tell me if everything looks
okay.”
She nodded as she
grabbed on to the bar. She leaned out the side of the Jeep. “Okay…ready.”
I smiled and gunned it while I held the brake down. Mud flew
up everywhere, and she let out a scream that I was sure Mimi and her husband
Frank would hear.
I let off the gas and looked over toward her. She was
covered in mud.
“Oops. Sorry.”
Her mouth dropped open, and she balled up her fists. “You
asshole! My eyes are burning from the mud in them, you fuckwad!”
I lost it and started laughing. I laughed so hard that I was
pretty sure I’d snorted once or twice.
Whitley jumped out and began walking away.
“Where are you going?” I called after her.
“As far away from you as I can get!”
She turned and walked backward as she shot me the finger
with both hands. Then, she dropped out of sight.
I jumped out of the Jeep and ran over to her.
“Shit! Oh shit! Oh my God…shit!” She cried out over and over
as she held on to her ankle.
“Sweetheart, what’s wrong? Whit, what’s wrong?” I dropped to
my knees.
She looked up at me, and the next thing I knew, I had a
handful of mud in my face. She smeared it all over my face and down my neck.
She started laughing, but then she quickly stopped when I looked at her.
“You better run,” I said, glaring at her.
“What?” She jumped up and started to run.
I gave her a good thirty-second head start before I went
after her. She kept looking back at me, laughing. She ran up to a group of
oaks.
“You think a few trees are going to stop me?” I asked with a
sly smile.
“Layton, let’s just call a truce, okay? Truce ’cause I’m
itching all over. I really need to get this mud off of me.”
I shook my head. “Oh no, Miss Reynolds. Payback is a bitch.”
“Wait! You got mud on me first! I was paying you back.”
I acted like I was going to run to the left and then made a
sharp move to the right. She screamed and tried to go left, but then she
slipped. I ran up to her, picked her up, and threw her over my shoulder. I
looked up and saw we were near the hunter’s cabin. There was a tank right
around the bend next to the cabin.
Oh yeah, her ass is
going in the tank.
“Layton, put me down! Layton! Oh. My. God. No, Layton, no!
Where are you taking me?”
She must have seen the tank because she started kicking and
screaming.
“Scream all you want, honey. No one can hear you!” I
laughed.
“Mimi! Frank!” she yelled out. “I know sound travels in the
country.”
“Whit, it’s pouring. No one can hear you.”
I smacked her ass, and she let out another scream.
“You’re crazy! Layton, please…I’ll do anything.”
I walked up to the edge of the tank and saw a snake. Shit. She lucked out!
I turned around and saw a huge mud puddle. I started walking
toward the cabin.
“Oh, thank God! I thought you were going to throw me in the
tank.”
“I was…but I saw a snake.”
She started screaming and kicking again. “Oh my God! Put me
down! I just want to go back to the house. I want down, Layton! Now!”
“You want down?”
“Yes! Right now, you asshole!”
“Okay then.” I dropped her right into the mud puddle.
Who is Kelly Elliott?
Really I'm just a wife to a wonderful
Texas cowboy who has a nack for making me laugh almost daily and supports my
crazy ideas and dreams for some unknown reason...he claims it's because he
loves me.....so I'll just go with that one!
I'm also a mom to an amazing daughter who constantly is asking me to make her something to eat while she has her fingers moving like mad on her cell phone sending out what I'm sure is another very important text message!
Oh...and I like to sit down and write in my spare time!
I live in the Texas hill country and one of my favorite things to do is go for hikes around our property with my second favorite man, Gus....my chocolate lab and my sweet girl Rose, our golden retriever. When I'm not outside helping the hubby haul brush or move rocks or whatever fun chore he has in store for me that day, you will find me inside reading, writing or watching HGTV and soaking in a nice hot bubble bath.....yeah that last one I just made up but it sure does sound nice!!!
