Cade Fournette was forced to grow up fast when his parents
died, leaving
him with two younger siblings to provide for. And growing up
on the wrong
side of town made life just that extra bit harder. But as
soon as he could he
left town and never looked back, the town of Cottonbloom a
forgotten
memory - well almost. With lingering thoughts of a girl he
should forget,
Cade pushes himself from one adventure to another. But when
his latest
escapade ends up in injury, Cade finds himself back in his
hometown and
in close contact with the object of his desire.
Monroe Kirby may have grown up with wealth but that didn't
protect her
from the monster that her mother brought home. The only
person who ever
protected her was Cade, all those years ago, until one day
he had simply
disappeared. Now Monroe doesn't need anyone's protection as
she is more
than capable of looking after herself. Working as a physical
therapist and
teaching self-defence to kids, all that is missing from her
life is love and
passion. Until Cade wanders into her work, needing help.
Instantly their
chemistry ignites. But can old wounds and feelings of
inadequacy ever
really be left in the past? And as the opposite sides of
town get ready to
compete in a festival, will old divides keep Cade and Monroe
apart?
KISS ME THAT WAY by Laura Trentham is the first novel in a
new
Cottonbloom series. With in-depth characters that are
gripping from
the beginning, the author weaves emotional issues throughout
the story,
making the drama rich and descriptive. Both characters carry
the scars
from their pasts, and struggle to completely move on. And
yet there are
plenty of moments of humour and passion. We are introduced
to the town
of Cottonbloom which is full of quirky characters that I
look forward to
reading about in future books. KISS ME THAT WAY by Laura
Trentham is a
beautiful novel about dealing with your past, and fighting
for your future - an
excellent read.
A river divides Cottonbloom in two: the upscale enclave
on the Mississippi side and the rundown, rough and tumble
side in Louisiana. They’re worlds apart—but nothing can
build a bridge like love…
Cade Fournette never had it easy Cottonbloom. He stuck
around long enough to raise his orphaned siblings and then
hightailed it out West—and never looked back. Even though
he’s made a success of himself in Seattle, Cade never lost
the toughness and the angry edge that helped him survive
down South. His only weak spot: the girl he left behind…
Monroe Kirby came from the wealthy side of town, but that
didn’t protect her from her mother’s drinking—or her
mother’s boyfriend. It was Cade who did that, on a long-ago
hot September night, before he disappeared…along with a
piece of her heart. Now Monroe is a physical therapist who
can fight for herself, and it’s Cade who could use some
conditioning when he makes an unexpected return back home.
Will he and Monroe pick up where they left off and finally
explore their mutual passion—or will the scars and secrets
of the past divide them once more?
