A review by mrsxtremist
Burned & Bound by A. Winchester
5.0
5 star!
I don’t even know where to begin with this book. I was honoured to get to Alpha read this book and just wow. This book is raw, heartfelt, and real. My hat is off to you Addison.
The story is a dual POV that follows Jackson and West as they are thrown back into eachothers lives when West’s deceased father will stipulates in order to get his inheritance he must work on the family farm that Jackson, his childhood love, runs.
This second chance story had me in all the feels. West has not had an easy life and his trauma runs his life. Watching him try to work on himself as Jackson tries to learn how to live and help someone with PTSD, anxiety, as well as addiction issues was hard. Hard because it is such an accurate portrayal of BOTH sides of such a complex and complicated relationship. I felt SEEN reading this. (Sometimes a little too close to home!)
This was a top read this year for me - especially out of my dark romance/non fantasy books. Addison writes amazing characters that draw you in and you FEEL what they do. I HIGHLY recommend this book - just check your TW before reading.
Troupes: cowboy MM, grumpy X grumpy, second chance, healing
Spice 2/5 (this book is meant to be low spice and it is perfect this way, technically I give it 5/5 because of how accurately it is portrayed!)
Plot 5/5
Pace 5/5
Character Personality 4.5/5 (I don’t BLAME Jackson for his feelings at the start but I also don’t get why he was soooo dickish)
Character Growth 5/5
Writing Style 5/5
World Building 5/5
