I really liked both Carrie and River’s relationship and how it developed from enemies to friends to lovers. I loved watching them grow to love each other. I loved how despite his rough exterior, River was actually really sweet and caring. I loved how he would do things for Carrie and help her and just being there for her. Carrie was such a sweet strong woman. Those two were just so good for each other. Despite their traumatic past, they still bring out the best in each other. I když ani jeden z nás o přátelství nestojí, osud nás přivede k sobě. A potom, jako blesk z čistého nebe, už z nás nejsou jenom přátelé, ale něco víc. After years of suffering abuse at the hands of her husband, Carrie has escaped to a small town in Texas to start a new life. Pregnant and alone, she is beaten down but brave, and is enthusiastically eager to begin again, and create a safe haven for herself and her baby. But her happy new world comes with a dark and broody neighbour. River Wild is gorgeous, but he is moody and an asshole who clearly wants nothing to do with her, which is fine, because she also wants nothing to do with him, until they are brought together unexpectedly, and she recognises his damaged soul. The epilogue was SO CUTE! It was toothachingly sweet and so wholesome! Even though they both have baggage to carry, you know they’re going to be there for each other every step of the way.

after helping Carrie with an unexpected drowning dog (yeah. . . it was a time) they become unlikely friends. I listened to this in audio which was brilliantly narrated and really brought the characters to life.I know that look. I used to see it in my own eyes every time I could bear to look in the mirror. I still see it now. A native of Hull, she lives in East Yorkshire with her husband, their son and daughter, and three large furbabies. Carrie used to be Annie. She changed her name after she finally left her abusive husband and fled to Texas.

But there was also in this shit, some diamonds who were hiding in the mud and i liked them for their behavior... h rating: 4 stars. Carrie. I liked her. I appreciated her strength and how she worked towards finding her happy. Wholly fudgesicles, I was so NOT prepared by the intensity that would literally make my heart pound and yet hold my breath. I actually had this title be "kinda accidentally" chosen while reading the description, while my husband had leaned over in the car and his hand brushed the "select" button. I went with it anyways and just hit "confirm".the heroine, whose name is escaping me right now, leaves her abusive husband. she's changed her name, hair color, and zip code. oh, and she's pregnant. *looks at someone else's reivew* CARRIE, her name is Carrie. Carrie does all of the above stuff. Carrie was an amazing character😍 full of love to give. This woman was sooo strong, determined and brave. the past trauma of both characters. both River and Carrie went through some heavy shit. yet, despite those heavy themes, this book was very light. and look, do i want a doom and gloom story straight through? no, of course not. but again, lets allow said heavy topics to breathe a bit. i want to see Carrie dealing with her ex, and the psychological damage that does to a person. i want to witness River actually going to therapy and dealing with the abuse he suffered. idk, i wanted something more.

I know, i know...I gave it five stars🙈 but there were little things I didn't like. They gladly didn't lower the rating. River Wild was a beautiful and heartbreaking story that shows how two people (no matter how damaged and broken they are) can fall in love. As we know, life is not easy, but for Carrie and Wild? Damn, life has been horrible with more lows than highs until they meet. As for River??? God, my heart was aching for him... Not only for the past that was holding him a prisoner, but also for the isolation that he was forced to live... I hateThen the next chapter hooked me even further as we meet Annie, an abused victim married to a highly respected detective. For seven years she’s been at the end of his fists, finding out that she’s pregnant got the ball rolling and she finally gathers the strength to leave him. Changing her name, her identity, and making her way to Canyon Lake, a place he will never think to hunt for her knowing how much she despises the humidity. From New York Times bestselling author Samantha Towle comes an unexpected love story between two unlikeliest of people...
