These Rough Waters
by Ria Wilde
Small town with the delicious romance!
I absolutely adored and consumed this book in a single day, and wow, what an incredible narrative! Right from the prologue, I sensed that the story would be filled with intense emotions and heartache. The author skillfully portrayed the pain of losing loved ones, dealing with trauma, and yearning for a better life. The main characters, Torin and Maya, endured so much hardship throughout their lives. It was truly heartbreaking to witness their suffering and witness how they sacrificed everything to ensure the safety and protection of those they cared about.
Torin was haunted by the tragic loss of his wife and son in a devastating ocean storm five years ago. He carried immense guilt over their deaths which led him to isolate himself from others. He became an empty shell of a man who drowned in his own demons and past mistakes. However, when Maya unexpectedly stumbled upon his boat, Torin's numb emotions began to resurface as he developed obsessive feelings towards her while also feeling protective.
Maya had been fleeing from her abusive ex-fiancé along with her daughter when she found herself on Torin's boat. She longed for freedom from her painful past experiences as she desperately sought to build a new life for herself and her daughter Harper far away from her ex-lover's reach.
Maya experienced fear in opening her heart to others following the pain and heartbreak caused by her ex-partner, Trevor. She made an effort to avoid Torin, who initially appeared grumpy and broody. However, gradually, she found herself craving his presence as he became the person she needed most in her life.
The characters in the story are relatable and realistic, with their development being well-written. The slow progression of romance was handled skillfully, considering their past traumas. It beautifully blossomed between two individuals who were broken but finding solace in each other's company. The intimate moments were incredibly passionate and had a profound effect on me personally.
Torin's actions involving his mouth were particularly lasting *fans myself*. Despite initially coming across as an annoying jerk, he cared towards Maya and Harper. They complemented each other perfectly like a happy found family uniting together for support. The side characters added charm to the narrative by looking after Maya upon her arrival in their small town.
This book kept me engrossed from start to finish due to its fast-paced. I couldn't even take a momentary break without feeling compelled to continue reading.
I'm eagerly anticipating Everett's book, as I am intrigued by his mysterious nature and the inner turmoil he carries. His enigmatic presence draws me in, a desire to delve deeper into his story.
