Jay Crownover is no stranger when it comes to writing romance that has sass and steam but her stories and characters have a magical way of always leaving a lasting impression when it comes to the matters of the heart and in her newest release, Riveted, Jay lures readers to feel for her characters and see behind the facade. She allow them to see and understand everyone carries their own set of baggage but in the end, you just need to find the right kind of people who are willing to ease the load.
I might have now known he was it for me, but it was evident Church didn’t have a clue. No one had ever given me any idea how to handle it when the right one came along, but you weren’t the right one for him.”Dixie Carmichael has witness everyone around her falling in love and settling down and all she wants is to find her missing piece as well. She is the kind of girl who sees rays of sunshine and hope. In other words, Dixie Carmichael is a good person who hasn’t much luck in the love department that is until Dash Churchill aka Church asked her to accompany him back home to visit his family.
Church has known love and loss. He experienced it firsthand after losing his mother and stepmother. These two women’s death affected him in such a way that he didn’t know how to cope and so Church thought it was best to leave and enlist in the military. Once Church left, he didn’t look back and left behind the man who raised him and his baby brother. Fast forward ten years later, Church finds himself traveling back home but this time he won’t be alone since Dixie Carmichael is the unexpected ray of light that will awaken and piece back together his heart, soul, and mind.
Dixie Carmichael was the nicest girl I had ever met. She didn’t have a mean bone in her perfectly curvy and petite body. She was always smiling, always laughing, and there wasn’t a moment spent in her company where it didn’t feel like the sun was shining directly on you. She embodied warmth and care.”
She kissed me like it was the only thing that mattered. She kissed me like it was important, like I was important. She kissed me like she loved me even though she knew there wasn’t any way possible for me to love her back.”
There was no denying it that there was a connection between Dixie and Church. These two fit each other like two jigsaw puzzles and so as Dixie and Church told each other about their past, their transition from friendship to something more was undeniable. It was like fate was leading them to each other and back home. With the help of Dixie and his family, Church finally found the peace he had been searching for.
He was constantly telling me that he was a liar . . . but with him over me, with him inside of me . . . I believed every word he said. The truth was in his hands, in his mouth, in the way his cock moved in and out of me like he couldn’t get enough of me . . . or of us together.”With her sexy blend of heart, family, love, and steam, Jay Crownover will have readers saying take me to Church. Well not that kind of church, but the Dash Churchill kind. It was not that hard to fall for Jay’s characters as Dixie and Church easily demanded your attention as layers of their personalities began to be peeled off. You gotta love a story where readers could relate to both hero and heroine and that’s what I just did. I found myself being drawn to their vulnerability and honesty. So if you are looking for a story where family, love, second chances and new beginnings are the main backbone of this love story then I suggest you better one click and get Riveted.
