WEDNESDAY (Thursday) REVIEW - A Forest Between Us

Good morning, friends!

AMAZON

While today's book is a bit (okay, a lot) more detailed in the bedroom than I prefer, overall the story was well written. I won't go in to detail. I'll leave that to discover for yourself. In the mean time, here's more about A FOREST BETWEEN US.

BLURB:

– Owen –

Harper Calloway is the one who got away.

Gorgeous. Vivacious. Witty. Everything my introverted self could never be. And though that single night five years ago is all I had with her, there’s no forgetting the girl who steals your heart.

So when the woman in question shows up on my doorstep demanding an annulment for a drunken Vegas wedding I don’t fully remember, it seems like a sign. A second chance to make good on that connection I’ve never felt with anyone else.

Except she doesn’t have any interest in reconnecting, even as things between us heat up the longer she stays in town. What will it take to convince her I want forever?

– Harper –

Owen Taylor is not who I expected.

Protective. Thoughtful. Humble. And the sexy lumberjack vibe he’s got going on? Who knew I was such a sucker for that?

I didn’t come to Crescent Pass to start anything up. My life is in Chicago, not the forests of the Pacific Northwest. But the longer I stay here waiting for an annulment, the harder it is to resist this rugged mountain man who shows me for the first time what it’s like to be understood. Cherished. Worshipped.

We both knew from the beginning this couldn’t last. So why has he gone and stolen my heart?

The naivete of Harper was surprising. She is twenty-six and still believes that marriages in Vegas aren't real? Seriously? I thought this made her appear immature for a city girl working in a major marketing firm. The pieces didn't fit for me. Personally, I think she just blocked that Vegas night out of her life so she didn't have to think about Owen Taylor. That chamber in her brain is unlocked with her friend Kelly's news that she is engaged. 

Then there's Owen who never forgot her. Now there was a character who was believable. He lives in backwoods and enjoys his solitude. Personally, I'd love to see the furniture in real life he creates. Wouldn't it be nice if we all found The One and never looked elsewhere trying to replace them. Folks, The One is not replaceable. As to his physical appearance, everything fit, even the beard. However, I felt she glossed over the beard in places where that could have been included other than between her legs, like their first 'real' kiss. More from Harper about the feel of his beard/ mustache following the kiss. Was it soft or  more like a brillo pad. She might like how he looks with a beard (we learn much later) but what about how it feels. We had better descriptions of his furniture (which I'll share a video at the end of this post highlighting one of the descriptions).

While I enjoyed the story over all, I found some things were lacking. For that reason, I'm giving A Forest Between Us:
