Cherry Beats by Vicki James
5.0
Here I sit, once again... Struggling to put into words how amazing this book was. I have actually been sitting on this review for a few days trying to put together a review that will do this justice... But no words can. Seriously NO WORDS.
Ms. James goes above and beyond and gives us a storyline so captivating, enticing and addictive that I couldn't put the book down and managed to read it in one sitting.
In Cherry Beats we have Presley and Tess and oh boy, what a pair these two are. Presley was... different. He wasn't your typical hero in this book. He was lonely, he was stuck and lost yet he has people surrounding him day in and day out... But what looks like a life of fun, pleasure, and dreams is a life of loneliness and sadness for this man. My heart hurt for this man and I couldn't help but fall smitten for him from the moment I began this book. He was unique and amazing in every sense of the word.
Tess was perfection, especially for Presley. She was full of sass, a little spitfire and even though some of the things she did and said were questionable and not exactly /Perfect/, she was still just a lovable, witty, fun characters and I think what others may see as flaws, I see as quirks, and things that make her a perfect heroine. I adored her and I honestly cannot fault the author on how she played this main female lead out.
Presley and Tess were something else... They were perfect for each other and both personalities together balanced each other out, yet they bounced off each other. It was known early that these two were perfect for each other and that they both loved and wanted each other, and needed each other... But secrets and lies constantly pushed them apart. Hiding feelings and denying each other what they truly wanted, craved and needed. Tess didn't feel worthy, she didn't feel like she was enough, and Presley wanted her, he needed her.. but the insecurities Tess has do make it hard for him and it ultimately creates more and more issues with these two...
Will Tess be able to see she is worthy? Will Presley be able to show her that she is? Is Tess the answer to his loneliness? Will these two finally open their eyes and see they are meant to be...
You need to read the book to find out...
I honestly cannot fault this story. There were a few aspects to it that hit home for me a little but I think that is why I loved it so much. It was full of angst, and chemistry that flowed throughout the book.
Truly amazing, captivating, addictive and an enticing read that I highly recommend!
