Sometimes I'm in the mood to read a
romantic book, a love story into which I can escape. So I picked up
Truths and Roses, and was happy to discover it was just what I
was looking for.
Professional football player Will
Kincaid ends his career by busting his knee just as he crosses the
line for a glorious win at the Superbowl. He returns to his hometown
a hero, wondering what he is now going to do with his life. But when
he bumps into Hannah Jacobs, the only girl who ever rejected him in
high school, old feelings come alive as they learn to deal with old
secrets, bad memories and the growing attraction between them.
This was a fun book that dealt with
serious issues realistically, yet without too much drama. I enjoyed
the plotline and the characters as they both grew and changed. Hannah
was stuck in a quiet life with unfulfilled dreams and couldn't move
beyond a tragic event in her past. Will's whole life had been
football and it seems he couldn't get his father's approval
otherwise. He needed to come to terms with his strengths and
weaknesses to determine where he was now headed in life.
Together Will and Hannah help each
other, but must overcome their obstacles to be able to give the best
of each other in their relationship. This is the message I really
liked in this story. The romance builds well without silly
bodice-ripping scenes or phrases telling me how gorgeous the
characters are. Yes, there are some hot kissing scenes, but they are in good taste. And the sex scene isn't explicit.
I will definitely read another of
Cooper's books when I'm in the mood for a good solid romance.
Recommended to lovers of romance books.
Note: This book is rated S = some sexual content, not too explicit.
