I was lucky enough to beta read this book, and it was one that I was eagerly awaiting.
This is Ginger's story and we really find out what is beneath all that facade she puts one. What we find is a broken woman who feels like she has to put on a brave face everyday in order to accomplish anything.
I think that she feels like she doesn't deserve any better than she has already.
Meet Caspian, I really loved him here in this book and he really felt real and Ginger deserves someone like him.
This is a really good read, and you will wanting the next book as to find out the details of their lives.
Excerpt “It’s Baby time”
I’m
going to make the most dramatic exit of all time. An exit to put all exits to
shame. A sharp piercing scream fills the air, and the entire room quiets,
stealing my moment.
“Gross…”
I hear someone say.
“Ginger!”
I spin
around, my eyes scan the room. It’s Quinn’s voice yelling out for me. Last I
saw, she was near the fireplace with Chase.
“Ginger!”
I follow the sound of the voice, through the dozens of people to the other side
of the room near the bar.
“Move
outta my way fat asses,” I yell as I push people aside. I see her. Quinn stands
with Chase next to her, she’s leaning against the bar, a puddle near her feet.
“Holy
shit, your water broke.”
“You
think?” she snaps at me.
Chase
throws a fist into the air. “I’m gonna be a dad!” The whole room breaks out
into a cheer. We’ve all been waiting months, but she isn’t due for another two
weeks. Is this safe?
“Should
we call 911?” someone asks.
“No,” I
say, grabbing Quinn’s hand. “Quinn is gonna be birthing at home.”
Her
hazel eyes shine with excitement as she looks at me and smiles. “It’s time.”
“It’s
time,” I repeat. To think, for so long I was even more excited that she was
about the baby.
“I can’t
believe your water just broke, in public.” I begin rattling on as I always do
when I’m nervous. “That like never happens in real life only in the movies to
add heightened drama and all that crap, and sometimes—”
“Focus,
Ginger,” Chase snaps. He waves a hand in front of my face. “Get Quinn to the
car. I’m calling the midwife and getting our coats.”
I give
Chase an evil glare before sweetly turning back around to help Quinn.
“Move,
people! Pregnant lady in labor coming through.”
