5.0

In this installment, we join Roman and Ashley shortly after she conned him into giving her a ride to her friends place... only she didn't specify where her friend lived and Roman didn't think to ask, so now he's stuck with her for an extended trip. Hauling her Windstream trailer... on his fancy truck.

Let's just say that while this installment is filled with some hijinks, we're getting to know both Ashley and Roman a bit more.

Ashley lets us see that despite her bravado, she's actually a bit sensitive to what people feel and think about her. After going through life feeling like no one chooses her, she's devastated to know that her grandmother quite possibly felt that way as well.

Roman also reveals a bit more about himself too. His history and how he got where he is today and the actual depth of his debt on the property he is at war over. We also find out a tiny bit about Carmen and Heberto.

I have to say that my favorite thing about this is the banter and the interactions between Roman and Ashley. Despite the needling that Ashley does, and the way Roman tries to keep his cool, you can see that something of a friendship is developing between them. No matter how hard they try to deny it.

Definitely looking forward to the next installment to see what happens as their very loose friendship progresses.

Thank you to Ruthie and Loveswept for the advance copies in exchange for my honest thoughts.
