River’s Winter
About
A tragic incident turns him into a hero… but what if all the unwanted attention leads him back into old, dark habits?
Terrible mistakes in Jacob Starr’s youth made him disappear far away from those he loved most, while leaving behind the only decent thing he’d ever created in his life, his son.
Arriving recently in River’s End, Luna Castellanos is looking for a new life and career but what she finds, is soon based on something she never intended: infamy.
After she and Jacob unwillingly become heroes in a tragedy that has the nation’s attention, she can’t find the strength to be the hero everyone claims her to be. Instead, she feels frozen in her anxiety and lost to the person she once was. But the only one who understands this, and therefore her, is Jacob Starr. It creates a bond between them that is quick, strong, and honest, with a chemistry that is much more far reaching than the one tragic moment they share.
Jacob’s new status as a hero confounds and confuses him. But someone finally needs him, and only him. Heady stuff for a man who no one has ever needed or wanted. Luna has become the only person in the world to see him as their friend, confident, protector, and yes, hero. A roll that he cherishes. But once Luna learns of his past, will she still be able to look at him as her hero, or will she finally see him like everyone else?
Praise for this book
"So this book starts off with a bang, I mean literally a bang. It was madness and craziness all into one. Jacob coming home was emotional but that was only the tip of the iceberg in this book. Him and Luna are brought together in a horrific way. They survived a horrible tragedy and suffer the aftermath. They are deemed heroes but they don't at all feel like it. Luna especially is feeling remorse at its worse. She is suffering from PTSD. Jacob does his best to help her as himself during this book. She doesn't feel like she deserved to live. This book will break your heart over and over again. I cried so much over this book and had to take so many breaks during reading it. This book will gut you to the core. This isn't your typical boy meets girl, they fall madly in love and live happily ever after. A town is rocked. Two characters are overcoming their past along with the present and trying to make adult decisions. I absolutely loved Jacob and Luna. This book was beautiful and heartbreaking but it does have a happy ending."
"The two become friends because they understand what each other is feeling and going through. As the press gets hungrier for stories Jacob is afraid of how Luna will feel about him when it comes out about his past.
This is an emotional read. It had me ugly crying a time or two. It has action, suspense, drama, some hot steamy scenes and redemption. This is a must read."
"Heavy Hitting
This author has a way of writing that puts you in the others shoes. When you're on the side with the green grass and judging the neighbors lawn it's so easy to overlook how it may have gotten to that state of disarray.
Davis makes you step back and take a look at yourself. She doesn't just write about flowers and hearts. She writes about things that hit close to home. It's refreshing and much needed.
Rivers Winter tackled several different heavy hitting topics. This is a story that everyone should stop and read."
