It was good, But... Totally Honest Review
WARNING SPOILERS!
Okay, it was actually well written and funny in parts, however....
****So Sorry in Advanced for the Spoilers****
I wouldn't normally go on about a book like this but, Geez! I had to!
I'll try keep it to a minimum & do my best just to outline the story!
*Lena meets Wyatt at his going away party, a big blow out party for a high schooler whom I may add is on his way to boot camp with dreams of becoming a Seal.
Wyatt for the most part is a tender hearted-good kid who never grew up outside the military.
He got his GED, dropped out of school and enlisted... at the young age of 17!
(Bonus: He is far from the stereo-typed dumb jock, passed all his tests with flying colors, smart kid!
Wyatt's dad however, has basically verbally abused him his whole life. Kinda makes you wonder why his mom allowed it (?) or maybe the better question is, Why didn't she ever stop it?
Sam Washington Spred is a jerk & a few other select names I'll leave out...
Lena spends the rest her high school days thinking about that one night with Wyatt Spred, while promising herself to forget him and move on in college.
The writer made Lena out to be a S/^t (to me anyways)
Who ends up meeting & dating Wyatt's dad... Which she didn't know. (why, she even considered dating him I will never know, he was just some old man, who for better words "could" have been her dad....Yuck! 30 years her Sr. I think?)
***Then the slime ball meets her mother, starts an affair with her & ends up being her (Lena's) step-dad! Really, her mother steals her daughters boyfriend? What kind of mother does that? Only on Jerry Springer! I'm telling you.... Just No! YUCK!
Best Part! She meets back up with Wyatt 4 years later (at their parents wedding reception) and having sex in a bathroom within the first 2 minutes of saying Hey! Yep.... S/^t 100%
"They find out after the fact that they are indeed step-siblings,
this make Wyatt physically sick & he runs away.
He does this again (without any physical contact) at the actual wedding....
Honestly believing it's incest! (all through the book, it talks about incest! Ummm, don't you think they, anyone would for that matter knows what incest is! There is no blood shared between them! Oh for Petes sake... A doctor would not correct him on his thinking! WTF! again... UGH!) "pulling hair out"
Because of his/everyone's thinking.... Wyatt a big bad, tough as nails, Navy SEAL, crying & running away, hiding from Lena! Right...
Wyatt, you gotta love him though, loses a lot in his first 4 years in the Navy (while on tour) comes home and tries to live with the ghosts that haunt his dreams. Reconnecting with Lena only helped in his downward spiral.
I believe Wyatt loved Lena but has a hard time dealing with it, hides from his feelings by re-enlisting.
All the while Lena (who takes no shit from any man, but moved to Cali to closer to Wyatt at his request?) is sleeping with whomever that comes along.
Once Wyatt returns home to her after his tour, realizing it's her he wants... Hmm? Only to find a naked man with her, once again running off & crying.
It's not your normal step-brother romance story, or your hot Navy Seal heat up the sheets book you may normally read.
It's different, it's not a bad book & I can't complain about the writing... It's the whole thought process as to where the author was going with the story.
It was like she watched a marathon of Jerry Springer and came up with the basic outline of the story! No Joke
I guess what got me was Lena having sex with every man she came in contact with! Unprotected sex, I might add
I do not know a man out there that would take what she did, sleeping with his dad "her ex-boyfriend", then finding her with a F^<€ buddy she just met (a week prior) in her living room, naked AND... the first thing Wyatt thinks is how big his manhood is & mentally compares the two of them? Ugh, Nope...
But I get " okay, somewhat get" why he would run away (crying ) that seeing her with another man, (it's her that got him through his last mission) but still... He is in uniform, running away? Doubtful at best! Come On!
It comical! Enjoy... Psst: I didn't give away too many spoilers!
