Today I’m excited to participate in the Release Day Blitz of ‘She’s Like The Wind’ by Carrie Elks. This is a Contemporary Romance novel and the second book in the Angel Sands series. ‘She’s Like The Wind’ is out now!
Carrie Elks is one of those authors I just have to read everything from. I loved her Shakespeare Sisters series, and I also loved the first book in the Angel Sands series ‘Let Me Burn’. So when I saw the sign up for an ARC of the second book in the series ‘She’s Like The Wind’, I couldn’t resist signing up as fast as possible.
In ‘She’s Like The Wind’ we meet Ally. Ally has worked in her dads little coffeeshop for years. And when her dad sells the shop to a successful businessman without telling her, she is hurt and shocked. But Ally is determined to not show her emotions to much, and she decides to work for the guy who now owns a part of her history. What she didn’t expect was her feelings for the older, single father Nate.
Well, after reading the first book in this series and reading a little about Ally, I was super excited to read her story. And boy did I love Ally. Her character was just so relatable and ‘real’. Ally has lost her mom as an little girl, and it has been her father and her for a long time. Ally has stayed in the little town she grew up in, and she loves and knows everything about the town. She has her two best friends and that’s all she needs. But Nate changes everything for her.
The chemistry and romance between Ally and Nate is just amazing. I loved those two! Nate is thirty nine and has a sixteen year old daughter and he really isn’t looking for love. But when he meets Ally he can’t seem to resist her. The connection between Ally and Nate was so fun to read about. And I loved how this book was told from both Ally and Nate’s point of view.
I haven’t read many books involving a romance between two people with an age difference of more than ten years, but I loved it. And it definitely showed that age doesn’t really matter all that much, if you like and want the same things love can definitely be enough.
Although I loved the first book in this series, I absolutely adored this second book. I just couldn’t stop reading and loved every minute of this book. Carrie Elks definitely did another great job and I can’t wait to read the next book in this fun series.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to paint my nails. I can probably manage if I bend over enough.”
He looked at the bottle Riley had shoved in his hands. “It’s a nice color.”
“Riley chose it.”
He took a step inside then hesitated, looking over at Ally. “Is it okay if I come in?” he asked.
“Of course it is. It’s your house.”
“But it’s your room.”
His words made her feel warm. As though she finally belonged somewhere.
“Come in. It’s nice to have the company.”
He walked up to the bed, and looked down at her feet. “Let’s do this thing,” he said, sitting
down in the space his daughter had vacated. “I don’t want to incur the wrath of Riley.”
“Do you even know how to paint nails?” Ally asked, trying to keep her voice even. It felt so
intimate, having him here in the room when she was wearing only a tank and sleep shorts.
God only knew how much more intimate it would feel once he touched her.
And if he painted her toes, he’d definitely have to touch her.
She wasn’t sure how she felt about that.
