He’s the love of her life, but he doesn’t know it.
She’s his one moment of sacrifice in a lifetime of survival.
He was damaged and wild, but resilient.
She’s always been obedient. Now she’s restless.
Home for the summer between college and med school, Pearl Torres Frank knows two things: Boyce Wynn is the embodiment of everything she should run from, and everything she wants to run to. Rebellious and loud. Unconcerned with society’s opinion of him. Passionate. Strong. Dangerous.
And one more trait he hides from everyone but her:
Sweet.
From the moment Boyce pulls Pearl out of the water when he
was seven, he’s only been sure of one thing: Pearl was the girl for him, but he
could never have her. They were a part of two different worlds, but what no one
knew was that that they shared a secret friendship that ran much deeper than either
of them wanted to admit to the other.
Boyce Winn grew up in an abusive home. His mother left when
he was little, leaving him with his older brother and drunk father. Boyce’s
older brother tried to protect him as much as he could, even joining the army
to make a better life for the two of them. Unfortunately, fate was never kind
to Boyce and he loses his brother in action. When we meet Boyce in Sweet, he’s dealing with the loss of his
father – or rather, the newfound freedom he has. His life is finally his own
and he has it set up pretty sweet, that is until his mother shows back up.
Pearl Torres Frank grew up in a neighborhood close to Boyce
with her single mother. But when her mother marries a local doctor, her life
does a complete 180 and suddenly she has the life of privilege. Everything she’s
ever wanted is at her fingertips. Coming home after graduating college, she’s
set to attend medical school in the fall, if she would just pick a place to go.
Problem is, that’s not what Pearl really wants to do.
Told in both the past and the present, we get to really see
the relationship between these two over the years. And wow, what a history. How
they even kept their friendship a secret is beyond me. The electricity that’s
between them anytime they were together just explodes off of the page. Their
chemistry undeniable. While Boyce helps Pearl discover that she can fight for
control of her own life, she helps him come to terms with his past and to be
open to the future.
While this is considered part of a series, you honestly don’t
have to have read the first two to understand this story. Honestly, it took me
about 1/3 of the book to realize the connection to the others because I was so
invested in what I was reading. (It also made me want to go reread Breakable to see more of Boyce &
because I honestly don’t really remember them from it.)
Tammara Webber is just one of those authors for whom I would
drop anything to read. Her books have an easy balance of romance and drama,
with some lighthearted moments that just make you swoon. If you haven’t read her
work, I highly recommend that you jump on that real quick.
