4 Heart Review by Ashley
Brittainy Cherry is at it again. Ripping my heart to bits and slowly stitching it back together only to shatter it again. I was invested in The Wreckage of Us from the very start that had me pulling for Hazel. I loved that girl. Her grit and determination. How she wanted more and worked for it. How she did what was right, even when it was hard. Even when she knew she would be the one to suffer. But what she never counted on was Ian Parker being the bright spot in her life. Oh that Ian. Broody. Cold. Loyal. Lonely. He was free with his body but greedy with his heart. He lived with his hurt and anger and wore it as a badge of arrogance. But Hazel saw through it. Saw him. Heard all the things he was trying to say but couldn't get out. Somehow, with her patience and kindness and grace, he started to let his wall down and it translated into big things. Things that changed his life. Changed Hazel's life. And not all of them were for the better. My heart was not prepared for the turn The Wreckage of Us took. Just when I thought they were going to have it all, the past came a calling. I should've known the other shoe was going to drop this is Brittainy Cherry book after all. And can I just say we all need a Big Paw in our lives. Gah! This book is the sweetest, most tender, most full of feels romance. Ian and Hazel's slow burning, enemies-to-lovers romance made me swoon for days.
4.5 Heart Review by Lorena
Well, what can I say....this book had me hooked from beginning to end. Hazel and Ian's relationship did not start on a good foot. She went to the ranch in search of a job. She wanted to prove that she could work hard and she was willing to prove that to Big Paw, the owner of the ranch. She was seeking to help her mother who was living a life of hell with her drug lord husband. Hazel didn't trust easily. She didn't have any friends and she tried to just mind her own business until Ian came along and started making her life a living hell. Ian had a bone to pick with Hazel. He was taking it out on her for what he went through with Charlie, Hazel's stepfather. He thought she was just like Charlie and wanted nothing to do with her. He was actually trying to get her to quit as soon as she started working at the farm and he was in charge of training her. But Big Paw saw something in Hazel and he knew the girl was in need of help and he knew that the right person for it would be his grand son, Ian. But little by little, what started off as hate towards one another turned into a friendship, slowly but surely. Both Hazel and Ian were damaged souls and little by little they were learning on how to understand each other and confiding in one another. This book certainly gave me the goosies, I loved how the characters developed. Brittainy C. Cherry has once again charmed her way into my heart with this heartwarming story.
Excerpt Hazel I needed the job at Eres Ranch in order to save up money for my sister or brother. I needed money to buy prenatal vitamins for Mama. Money to make sure her fridge was full. Money to make sure that somehow the baby could come into the world with a little bit more than I had. Then, with the rest of the money, I’d buy a one-way ticket and leave Eres and never look back. Somehow, I’d convince Mama to come with me, too, with the new baby. The last thing she needed to do was raise a child with Charlie around. Mama was right—we did have a roof over our heads because of Charlie. But just because someone gave you four walls to stay in didn’t mean they weren’t a prison. I couldn’t wait for the day that I collected enough money to get myself my own four walls. Those four walls would be filled with love, not threats. With happiness, not fear. And the name Charlie Riley would be a distant memory. Big Paw rubbed the back of his neck. “We were looking for ranch hands, not some girl who’s probably too afraid to get her hands dirty.” “I’m not afraid of that at all. I’ll get down and dirty with the rest.” “You have to be able to lift over sixty pounds.” “I’ll lift seventy.” He cocked an eyebrow and leaned forward. “You have to be here before the sun rises, and if you don’t finish the task, you stay after dusk, and there ain’t no overtime. You get paid by the daily tasks being completed, not by the hours you spend here. If you get done early, you can leave early. If you get done late, you’re stuck here late. Also, I don’t believe in three strikes. I believe in one. Mess up, and you’re gone. You understand, girl?” If anyone else called me “girl,” I’d slam my fist straight into their nose to show them just how much of a girl I was, but hearing it come from Big Paw wasn’t an insult. He called it as he saw it in a straightforward way. He’d call any man younger than him “boy,” too, because he could. I was sure people who identified differently would be offended by the title Big Paw would give them, but he was too old to bother correcting himself. Old dog, new tricks and all. “I understand.” I nodded. “I’ll be the hardest worker out there, I promise.” He grumbled some more and rubbed his beard. “Fine, but don’t come complaining to me when you ruin your favorite pair of shoes in the pigpens. You report to the stables tomorrow at noon sharp for training with my grandson, Ian. He’ll be in charge of getting you up and running.” I sat up a bit straighter as my stomach tightened. “Wait, Ian is training me?” I frowned. “Are you sure Marcus or James or someone can’t take me on?” “No. Those boys are already training a few other ranch hands.” He raised his brow once more. “You aren’t already making yourself difficult, are you?” I shook my head. “No, sir—er—Big Paw. Sorry. That is fine. Noon tomorrow. I’ll be there.” The idea of being trained by Ian Parker made me want to gag. He was known as the playboy rock star of Eres. Ian had graduated three years before me, and I’d been the lucky girl with my locker right beside his during my freshman year. Which meant I’d had a front-and-center viewing of him swapping spit with whatever small-town groupie was wrapped around his pinkie at the time. About Brittainy Author Brittainy C.
