Summary:
Even a broken heart has trouble resisting a Stubborn Love.
Emmie Hayes loved the beautiful Ashton Stirling deeply; nobody could deny that. She had given him her youth, and all he gave in return was misery and pain. She was ready for a new beginning, but Ashton wasn’t about to let her go so easily, even if it meant destroying both their lives in the process. Three years later Emmie convinces herself she is ready to leave all of that heartbreak in the past and find a little piece of normal for herself. She heads to New York City to pick up where she left off, determined to finish art school. Emmie is determined to focus on school and not let anything distract her, but life has a way of throwing curveballs.
Paige, Emmie’s new roommate, brings Colin Bennett into her life. His smoldering eyes and lean muscular body are difficult for any girl to ignore. Only thing is, Emmie isn’t any girl. Her past makes her resistant to his charms. Colin isn’t one to give up easily, and just when he thinks he may have found a way to her stubborn heart, her tragic history may have found a way to tear them apart.
Review:
It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all
The opposite of love's indifference
Pay attention now, I'm standing on your porch screaming out
And I won’t leave until you come downstairs
The opposite of love's indifference
Pay attention now, I'm standing on your porch screaming out
And I won’t leave until you come downstairs
Lyrics- Stubborn Love The Lummieres.
Wendy Owens created heartwarming novel filled with enjoyable romance and enchanting story that will get any fan of sweet and pleasurable read hooked from the beginning. Stubborn Love is like honey: sweet and delicious but with a hint of wildness and something rich.
Clementine Haynes is 26 year old widow, who thinks that love is not for her, not again. In her opinion she doesn’t deserve for affection. Three years ago she made her choice, she finally got the courage to walk away from abusive husband, who manipulated her using fists and words:
“I swear, Em, if you leave me I’ll kill myself”
But she had had enough of his behavior and despite the threat she didn’t look back. Unfortunately she had no idea Ashton will pull the trigger. Now, she’s fighting with overwhelming guilt that eats her alive.
When she finally starts to life again, she meets Colin, sexy landlord, who has his eyes only for her.
“I’ve never felt anything like this, Em. I’m not looking for just sex. I want to be with you, and I want you to only be with me.”
Wendy Owen’s contemporary romance has everything quick summer read should have: good idea and setting, entertaining plot, charming characters, love and a little bit of drama. Stubborn Love is novel for those who like to close eyes, daydream and forget about problems. I highly recommend it for every woman who has free evening and is tired of reading heavy books with violence or abuse and is in mood for something lighter but enjoyable.
