River Wild

Product Information

It was a great listen, and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I know it will be one I will listen to again.

Carrie is fleeing an abusive relationship, moves away, changes her name and finally feels free in the little town in Texas. Years later River still lives in the place that became his safe haven, he keeps to himself, a semi recluse, and the town's outcast, he still creates beautiful objects with his own hands. News flash: I’m not nice. And I don’t want to be nice. Some people like being assholes. I’m one of those people.❞ Yep, his attitude was bad, but it was his shield and then, Carrie got in his way and he shined once again... He was the best man!!!! Pure and perfect and i loved him for that!!!!

Yep, it was breaking my heart over and over again, but at the same time, Mrs. Towle was giving me hope to love, to humanity!!!! Their dynamic is lots of fun, and I loved watching grumpy River start to open up in the face of Carrie’s determined optimism. Her sunny outlook and passion for life starts to infect his dark world, and slowly things begin to change. A native of Hull, she lives in East Yorkshire with her husband, their son and daughter, and three large furbabies. As for River??? God, my heart was aching for him... Not only for the past that was holding him a prisoner, but also for the isolation that he was forced to live... I hate A new life, a safe place to lay her head down at nights and to raise her child when it finally arrives, a new job, things are slowly looking up, the only downside is her rude arrogant neighbour River Wild.

But River’s cold exterior is no match for the sweet and endearing Carrie. These two may seem as different as night and day, however, they’re kindred spirits in their horrifying pasts that still haunt them. River has only ever loved two people in his life, his mother and grandmother. They’re the only people who ever showed him true love and compassion. Ugly rumors about his family have spread throughout town, and he’s learned to keep his distance from the outside world until Carrie moves next door to him. River and Carrie are inexplicably drawn to each other and it’s through their special bond that they’re able to start on the path to healing. I loved how Carrie and River slowly get to know each other and become best friends. They have so much in common and both of them have been through hell in their lives. They are both damaged and they help each other heal. The story was great, and Carrie’s pregnancy progresses slowly throughout the story. I wish this one was longer. Other than that, I really liked this book. I feel a bit stupid now But I started this, so I have to forge on. I rub my hands together. “Well, I was just wondering…are we…friends?” Wholly fudgesicles, I was so NOT prepared by the intensity that would literally make my heart pound and yet hold my breath. I actually had this title be "kinda accidentally" chosen while reading the description, while my husband had leaned over in the car and his hand brushed the "select" button. I went with it anyways and just hit "confirm".As strange as this might sound," he says, "sometimes, the devil you know is better than the devil you don't." Carrie Ford is new in town. She’s pregnant, alone, and finally away from her abusive husband that she worked so hard to escape. She gets a place to stay, a job, and everything is going good. All but her neighbor, River Wild. River is a bit of a jerk. He’s never in a good mood and doesn’t really speak to anyone. But with time, he grows on Carrie and she starts to befriend him. River has endured unimaginable heartache, and his withdrawal from the world is completely understandable, and though he tries his best to keep his distance from his perky new neighbour, he is curiously drawn to her, and they develop an unlikely alliance. I know that look. I used to see it in my own eyes every time I could bear to look in the mirror. I still see it now. These two were PERFECT together, there's not enough words to describe how beautiful their relationship was. I guess you just have to see for yourself.
