There is something about small town romance that has a way of capturing my heart. Maybe it’s the simplicity of the story, the raw heart-tugging emotions, or maybe it’s Laura Trentham beautiful prose. Well, it was all of the above.
Kiss Me That Way by Laura Trentham simply stole my heart. This book made my heart flutter and left a big smile on face. This is a story where a man, who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks or in this case a river, realize that his worth is not defined by monetary but by the unconditional love that he has from his family, friends, and most importantly the girl he left behind.
Cade Fournette grew up taking on the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings when their parents died. He sacrificed his youth in order to keep his family together. And when Cade strikes a friendship with Monroe Kirby, the girl from the right side of the river, he knew his heart will always belong to her.
Monroe Kirby may have grew up on the right side of the river where money and social status are held in high regards, but her home life is nothing but perfect. And so when a young 13 year old girl befriends a 17 year old Cade, she knew without a doubt he was her hero. Fast forward to ten years later, Cade Fournette returns back home and this time he comes face to face with Monroe. Will Monroe Kirby be able to show Cade that he is worthy of love, respect, and most importantly her love? Ten years ago, Cade save Monroe and now it is up to Monroe Kirby to save the man she loves and free him from his emotional burden and insecurities. Or will Cade let his fears be his downfall?
Kiss Me That Way is a love story that is full of heart, honesty, vulnerability and compassion. This is a love story where love is pure. It is a story where labels doesn’t define your worth. This is a story where emotions runs deep and love transcends time and social status. So if you are looking for a love story that is brimming with beauty, second chances, and passion then I highly recommend you to read this book.
