EXCERPT
I used to think she couldn’t resist me, but she had no problem earlier this week. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to Ms. Noelle. Let’s see if she still can. “I’ll be right back.”
“What?” my mom asks, watching me get out of the car. “Where are you going? The light’s going to turn green any second.”
I keep walking.
She sees me. Even though her pretty eyes are hidden behind big sunglasses, I can figure they’re probably damn wide right now. Reaching for the truck door lock, her finger pushes it down just as I arrive. She can kid herself like that. She knows deep down that I’ll never hurt her, but I might pressure her into giving me a little of her time.
Standing on the other side of her door, I knock. Delilah finally looks up and points at the light. It’s green. I shrug. I make the lame twist of the wrist roll down your window motion with my hand because I have a feeling she might not understand if I pretend to push a button to roll it down.
“Get back in your car, Jason,” she says through the glass.
“No. Roll down your window.” To sugarcoat it, I add, “Please.”
“Why?”
“What do you mean why? I want to talk to you and I don’t want shout through the glass.”
Huffing, the glass slides down slowly. “What is it?” She keeps her hands on the steering wheel and her grip seems to tighten just a bit.
She glances my way, so I say, “I want to see you.”
“You’re seeing me, Jason, so if that’s all there is, I’ll be going no—”
The glass starts to roll up, but I clamp my palm over it. She releases the button and looks up at me. “I don’t know what happened the other day, what turned your mood so quickly, but I’d like another chance for us to talk this time.”
“It’s not a good idea.”
“It’s a great idea, actually. All you have to say is yes.”
“No.”
My smile tilts into a smirk. “You haven’t changed much.”
“Then you haven’t been paying attention.”
REVIEW
| My curiosity about Jason Koster was piqued when I met him in the Kingwood duet so I was more than a little excited to dive into his story. Combining my curiosity about this character and the second chance romance trope I was more than all in. After being gone from his hometown for years, Jason finds himself drawn back. And that draw is more than just a visit with his mother even though he doesn't understand it at first. I loved watching his interactions with his mom and see flashbacks from his past. I really enjoyed watching as Jason worked through the changes in himself through the years and discovered that there was more worthy about himself than not and when he's presented with a chance to clear the air about the past and earn a second chance he discovers there's nothing more in the world he wants. Delilah was a feisty, strong heroine who wasn't afraid to admit her mistakes but also learned the hard way that our choices often affect us in unexpected ways. She hasn't had it easy since Jason left and she's suffered her own heartbreaks but when he refuses to back down and wants to hash out the past and try to find a future together she discovers something about love she hadn't known - that in the end Real love is all that matters. Solace is a story about more than a second chance st romance. It's a story of forgiveness, a story of learning and growing. We get to see new sides to Jason Koster, the sweet, the swoony, the slightly broken, and so many parts in the middle and we get to watch the beauty of the woman who has the ability to fix him and show him his worth. This book will touch you in many ways, it will make you laugh, it will make you rage, and it might even have you tearing up - but more than anything this book will make you feel. Feel everything. |
