Thanks for checking in.
This week we are playing catch up with an author that we have each fallen behind with:
BRENDA NOVAK
While we each are reading and reviewing the same author, the book we each review may differ.
ABOUT THE BOOK~
Her name is Cheyenne. But who is she?
After growing up in cheap motels, moving from town to town with her sister and mother, Cheyenne Christensen is grateful to be on her own. She’s grateful, too, for the friends she found once her family settled in California. But she’s troubled by the mystery of her earliest memories, most of which feature a smiling blonde woman. A woman who isn’t her mother.
Although Cheyenne has repeatedly asked for explanations, the people who could help aren’t talking. Cheyenne is set on finding answers, but without so much as a birth certificate, it won’t be easy.
Things get even more complicated when her closest friend is attracted to the man Cheyenne has secretly loved for years. For Eve’s sake, she decides to step aside — which lands her right in the arms of Dylan Amos, oldest and baddest of the hell-raising Amos brothers. He’s the kind of guy she’s sworn to avoid. She can’t afford to make a mistake, not when she finally has a chance to learn who she really is and change her life for the better. But . . . maybe there’s more to Dylan than she thought. Maybe letting him go would be a bigger mistake.

MY TWO CENTS~
Let me start off by saying that for me, this book lands in Women's Fiction more than Romance.
It's a heavy duty serious book with lots going on. And although Cheyenne moons over another man for a better part of the book(not to mention some other stuff), she does end up the hero, Dylan (who, in my opinion interacts with her much too late). Plus it really ticked me off that she wanted to hide her relationship with Dylan. HOWEVER, looking at this as Women's Fiction, I understand some of that is more in line with the genre.
Chey annoyed me quite a bit from many reasons, however that's what also made her endearing and real. She's dealing with a shit load of stuff: memories keep surfacing making her question her whole life, a sister that's more than a handful(but I was glad how she stuck with her), and friends that don't -in my opinion- really act like true friends at times.
Dylan is an amazing hero. Strong, sexy and sensitive. Let's call him a bad boy but with a huge heart. He's not without his faults and sometimes it ticked me on how he was treated.
Overall I enjoyed this book and will be sticking with the series.
HAPPY READING~
