Smashbomb

"W. C. Fields, with wife, mother-in-law, child, daughter, and son-in-law, played by the wonderful Grady Sutton. All this is pure enjoyment. When were movies ever more alive than in the thirties, when the great performers from the musical and vaudeville stage entered films? W. C. Fields, the Marx Brothers, Mae West, Maurice Chevalier, Fred Astaire, Marie Dressler, Mickey Rooney, and Judy Garland, among so many others. They were the real authors of their films, needing little help from their directors. American films began with audiences wanting to see performers, not directors, and this, perhaps, continues to separate American films from European films, but we’re lucky to have both, and who’s to say which is really better."

This is unlike any book I’ve previously read however I was lucky to receive a copy from a smashbomb giveaway and I’m so glad I did as it’s the best book I’ve read this year.
The majority of the book centres around Kaya as a young woman known as ‘The Marsh Girl’ having mainly brought herself up out in the marshlands and the events which occur after the body of a young man is found. But we also see her life from young girl leading up to the present and a snapshot of her life through to elderly lady.
It’s a beautifully written story with a beautiful cover that I would recommend to anyone.

I totally love this book!

It's sweet, it's romantic, it's heart-breaking.

Rowen Sterling, you are one lucky woman to find a guy like Jesse. He's amazing! He doesn't care about your past or your fashion sense, he cares about you, the person. (Just writing that is making me want to fill up :') he's so sweet). I loved him from early on and he grew on me throughout.

Rowen, you may have been broken when you got to that ranch but look what the love of a good family will do to you...

Looking forward to reading the next in the series, to see what else happens between these two.

P.S. This is a cowboy New Adult book! Two things I love in one! :D
