Sap Run
The fields rolled, unrestrained, as far as she could see until they crashed into the foot of a mountain. Grass greener than she could imagine the closer it got to the edge of a world away from everything she had known before. It was Eden."Almost goes blue like the ocean," Alex was mesmerized.Gib looked out over the unplowed fields and nodded. "Beautiful, isn't it?"Alex had walked into the joint a cocky twenty-two year old with a manslaughter conviction hanging over her head. Now fifteen years later, she finds herself back on the streets because of a courthouse mistake. Born into nothing, Alex never understood the pathological attachment to life other people seem to have…that is until a bus ride brings her to the most beautiful place she'd ever set eyes on and the woman fighting desperately to keep it.Gib is wrestling with her own demons. Raised in a house with a drunken father, she is no stranger to the cycle of violence and abuse. Until one day, struggling to keep the farm she inherited from her grandfather going, she turns to a stranger fresh off the bus from Boston. A stranger she finds she cannot deny.

Good book
I really enjoyed the journey this story took me on. The story is a good example that everyone has good and bad tendencies but you have control over which one ruled your life and people can change.

This book is a bit of darkness in a romance. The main character is not SnowWhite and her love interest is not Rapunzel, although you might see a bit of both in the story. I found the romance sort of quick and choppy. They meet they spend a week or so getting to know each other then the declare love. It was the flaw of the story. However, the plot is feasible.
Alex, a prison escapee, is looking to survive.
Gib, the owner of Sap Run ranch, is looking for cheap help to survive the brutal winter.
Alex has an internal dialogue with her creepy ass conscience that is constantly urging her to kill, maim, strangle, escape. I can see that since she spent 15 years in prison in solitary confinement. I'd be talking to myself too. She is a fighter.
Gib is a victim of child abuse. This is not a giveaway. We meet the abuser. Its a dark ride down that rabbit hole but Alex recognizes a soul sister right away.
The plot flies into some directions that cross over each other in a ramble but if you stick with it you see the later half of the book is solid. The ending is slightly predictable but good(don't skip to read it).
All in all, a 3 out of 5. I liked the characters and its got an edge to it that kept me reading.

WOW!!
Book no 2 by this author in 24 hours and just as good. Prisoner gets released by mistake early ends up helping a single woman struggling to keep her farm.There’s quite a complicated background story and a few characters and the relationship between the two MC’S works well.If you like this try Donna K Ford’s Love’s Redemption
