Beautifully Broken Spirit AMAZON
She’s always been his safe place to land.
Jensen has shared a special bond with Tuck for as long as she can remember, their friendship a language that never needed words. But as life threw her one curveball after another, that secret language turned to stony silence.
He’s always been her protector.
Tuck has looked out for Jensen since the day she was born. As his best friend’s little sister, he’s tried to keep her firmly in the friend category. But she’s always been more.
All it takes is one moment of weakness to send Tuck’s fiercely guarded walls crumbling to the ground. As a new fire burns between them, someone watches. Someone who doesn’t like the new life Jensen’s building for herself.
And they’ll stop at nothing to keep her in the dark.

My Review 
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you're an ugly-cry reader then batten down the hatches, board up the windows and buy out your local warehouse store's supply of facial tissues. I rarely cry over books, just as I rarely cry over events in real life, but this one, gah! I think it must be the perfect storm for me. A cute kid who stole my heart, lifelong friends who finally see what's been right in front of them all along, and strong, symbolic bonds between humans and animals. 

I’m not sure which is more devastatingly beautiful, the romance between best friends, Tuck and Jensen, or the romance between Jensen and her mustangs, all of them damaged or broken in some way. And Jensen desperately needs some enchantment in her life, something to bring back the spark of life in her eyes and the joy of everyday blessings in her heart, because misguided guilt is eating her alive. Her family went through a terrifying ordeal not long ago and Jensen feels responsible. It's all she can do to fake her way through each day and battle her nightmares alone in the dark. The only thing that centers Jensen is spending time with her beloved mustangs, when she can find the energy to visit them. Everyone in her family is concerned about her, but none more than her best friend, Tuck. 

Tuck and his father have always had their issues, and thanks to the Cole family's acceptance and love, it was easier for young Tuck to spend his free time on their ranch rather than his family's. Jensen and her brother grew up alongside Tucker, with Walker and Tuck inseparable in their mischief and the younger Jensen trailing behind. The friendship has always been effortless between Jensen and Tuck, and she says: “We always accepted each other just as we were. No pretense or pressure. When we were together, we could just be.” They show each other their authentic selves and know the other better than they know themselves. Don’t tell Jensen and Tuck, but that looks a lot like love to me. 

For a writer with so few books under her belt, each one of them is rich, deep and captivating, eliciting a vast array of emotions from the reader. You don’t simply read a Cowles book. You live it and breathe it, immersed and ensnared in a world you never want to leave. This book is no different, and Jensen and Tuck's story hits all the right notes – humor, angst, bitterness, desperation, drama, suspense, yearning, longing, desire, and most of all, love of a lifetime. Then there's the beautiful, stunning symbolism of Tuck's touches and Jensen's rescues that reached to the deepest part of my soul. Parts of me that will never be the same. 

My secret wish is that this talented, gifted wizard of words has a long, illustrious career ahead of her because I can't imagine a world without her writing. If you haven't yet had a chance to read her work, this book is a terrific one to introduce you to her. These books all stand alone and can be read in any order, or if you prefer, you can start at the beginning. However you choose to read them, don’t delay in getting your hands on this series. Once you visit, you'll never want to leave Sutter Lake!

Where's My Slingshot When I Need It?

Alternate title: The Itty Bitty Reader Takes On the Marketplace Monopoly Giant If you do any advance copy reading of books or are in any book groups or authors’ groups on Facebook, you’ve probably seen authors and readers alike discussing their reviews disappearing from Amazon recently. Not long ago, all my reviews were deleted by Amazon, and I'll share some suggestions on what to do, should you find yourself in this situation, and some tips on how to hopefully avoid it happening to you in the future. Sadly, Amazon’s review system, especially for books, isn’t perfect and there are certainly abuses to it, but reviews really are critical to both authors and readers.  For authors, the more reviews their book has, the more notice it gets, which translates to more sales.  For readers, reviews hopefully give us accurate information so we can decide if a book is worth our time and money or if we should just move along to the next one. I’ve been reading advance copies and reviewi
