Gehört zur ReiheRomance (#12) Auszeichnungen
Tess Rogers grew up in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, but she always knew one thing to be true--one day six hundred acres of prime farmland would be hers. Then she discovers not even that truth can be counted on. Tess's stepfather has kept important secrets, and Tess's dream of breeding a line of organic dairy cows suddenly goes up in a burst of smoke and flame. R. Clayton Sutter is an expert at managing just about anything--money, businesses, and people. Getting NorthAm Fuel's newest shale refinery operational in the rolling hills of Upstate New York shouldn't be much of a challenge, but then, she hadn't counted on dealing with vandalism, petitions, and a woman she'd never expected to see again--one who still haunts her dreams. When Tess and Clay square off on opposite sides of the heated debate, past and present collide in a battle of wills and unbidden desire. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Then Clay, an Energy VP comes into town with her father's company because that company are planning on fraking for energy under the farms that are just outside of town, including possibly on the farm next to Tess. And, of course, Tess and Clay have quite the history too. They had known each other at one point before they went to college and it didn't end well.
The plot is part romance of course, and there is some bit of a mystery too. Will Tess and Clay get back together or not, and who is trying to get Clay and her company out of the town in a sometimes violent way?
The writing of course was great. It's Radclyffe, she's a very solid writer and the book flowed really well.
But, I did have a couple of problems with the book. The first was that although there was such a great build up in the beginning and middle and then the end of the book seemed very, very rushed and then in a blink, it was over, but it didn't feel like it was over to me.
There was also the fact that at the beginning the whole Tess/Clay relationship seemed so widely hot and cold, which is true life, but in the context of the story seemed wrong. The whole Ella feint seemed totally off too (and I admit that I was rooting for Tess/Ella a little bit and I'd very much love to read a book about Ella on her own too).
Overall it was a solid book and for the most part I did like it. I just felt like the book stopped and didn't really end.
I got this advanced galley through Netgalley on behalf of Bold Strokes Books. ( )
