Lacey’s Story…
Covering up pain is easy. It’s keeping
it tucked away that’s hard. I’ve always needed the cover of tattoos to hide the
nasty past that leached its way into me, tainting me beneath my skin. Not the
shiny, trendy tats, but the ugly broken kind, meant to keep the world at bay.
If they weren’t enough, then my piercings, foul mouth and crazy hair usually
did the trick. Life had taught me to never follow the rules, because when you
do, you get burned.
That philosophy served its purpose,
until I met someone who turned my life upside down. Milly, the little hoochie,
stormed into my life and changed everything with her undying faith in me, her
love and her shitty coffee concoctions. I found a family in Milly, and her sexy
farm boy, Cree. She accepted me without hesitation, and never ran from the dark
and dangerous secrets that I harbored. My new family loved me unconditionally,
with their showers of sprinkles and impromptu dance parties.
My life was perfectly imperfect until
Tripp and his crazy-ass ideas of princesses. Our relationship is what most
would describe as fuel meeting fire. We were both hell bent on burning each
other to the ground. Tripp, fresh out of rehab, moved in with Milly and Cree to
try and make a new life for himself. Tripp, the sexy as hell, charismatic
beast, soon became one of my best friends. We shared our love of ice cream and
tattoos as we blazed our own path that could only lead to a beautiful train
wreck. The only question left is, will we set the countryside ablaze with our
hot tempers and foul mouths, or will we paint our own happy ending filled with
all the gushy shit normal people crave?
Kay's Review
What happens when two broken people collide? A beautifully messy crash.
Lacey is foul-mouthed with an I-don't-care attitude. Her body is
covered in tattoos and her hair colours cover the spectrum of rainbow. However,
it is easy to see from the first few pages of this story that beneath the brash
exterior is a very damaged girl.
In walks Tripp with his own very dirty baggage. He is a substance
abuser fresh out of rehab. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that despite
the chemistry between these two sizzling, there was a disaster waiting to
happen. And of course all it took was one little incident to be blown out of
proportion by jealousy and disaster happens.
What I enjoyed about this book is the characterisation. The author
obviously understood these people and wrote them well. The secondary characters
have their moments to shine and the bonds between the Lacey and Milly helps to
provide a foundation for the other relationships.
I love that Tripp saw through Lacey's exterior right from the start
and that he never stopped loving her.
What I didn't enjoy was the over-dramatisation of every single
problem. It made the characters appear juvenile sometimes. An example is Tripp
reading the letter from his father while he's in hospital waiting to hear news
about his wife and baby. I mean, seriously, who does that? "Hang on, while
my wife and unborn child are fighting for their lives on an operating table,
I'm just going to take out a letter from my dead father I have in my pocket and
read it." Really?
All-in-all, I enjoyed this book. If you're looking for a sweet
romance, this isn't it. The subject-matter is uncomfortable sometimes, the
language is coarse and the sex scenes are explicit. Oh, and there are illegal
drugs involved too.
Would I recommend this? Yes.
