REVIEW, EXCERPT & BLOG TOUR: The Girl & Her Ren

The Girl and Her Ren

by Pepper Winters

The Ribbon Duet Book 2

Publication Date: June 5th, 2018

Genre: Coming of Age Romance

Synopsis: 

“What do you do when you write down all your secrets? No…that’s not enough. What do you do when you write down all your secrets and the one person who should never read them does?

I’ll tell you what you do.

You hope.”

REN

Ren didn’t know the meaning of love until he took Della for his own.

To begin with he hated her, but as the months bled into years, he learned the opposite of hate, dedicating his life to giving her everything.

Every sacrifice, every gift, he gave wholeheartedly.

But then love turned to lust and ruined everything.

DELLA

I was stupid to write my secrets down, but I’d been stupid before so it was nothing new.

I couldn’t blame him, hate him, fix him.

I tried to move on without him.

But no matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to delete the secrets I’d written.

Until something happened.

Until he came back and read my stupid secrets.

And nothing was the same after that.

MY REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story blew me away.  It’s real and so very beautiful in its dichotomy of simplicity and complexity.  A story for the ages that will go down as the best duet/story I have ever read.  The ante has been upped and it will be difficult, near impossible for this story to be outdone.  As result, this duet will ALWAYS own a piece of my heart.

Right from the very beginning, this book made me feel every desperate heartfelt emotion I’ve ever felt.  I felt the deepest of despair to the most profound devotion. 

It is a remarkable story that transcends time and space but yet hits so achingly close to home.

I loved being part of Ren and Della’s journey.  Their story pulled me in and wrapped itself around my heart and squeezed, never once letting go.

Ren’s character, I fell in love with.  Throughout everything, he puts Della first.  Everything he does and says leads him back to his true love.  He never falters.  He is resilient and so very real.

Della is so very smart and strong.  She is the perfect match for Ren.  She loves him as desperately as he loves her.  I felt their love as if it was tangible, something real.

This a powerful and undeniable story of life and love and its very finest.  Recommended for everyone but especially those who truly believe love conquers all. 

Please note that this is the second book in a duet.  The Boy & His Ribbon must be read first.  To read my Review of The Boy & His Ribbon, click here.

I received an ARC of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

EXCERPT

The fallen papers crunched beneath my boot as I shifted my weight, leaning into her, seeking an answer. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

She flinched, her eyes closing beneath an avalanche of pain.

This hurt.

Everything hurt.

“Della…please.” My calloused thumbs caressed her silky-soft skin, catching on her young perfection with my older imperfection.

Ten years separated us.

Ten years was an eternity when she was a babe and I was a boy, but now…it no longer held such power. I refused to let it because I didn’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t touch her the way I was touching her now.

She laughed quietly, full of torture and tragedy. “I did tell you. In a roundabout way.”

“You didn’t.”

“But I did.” She dared meet my eyes. “I never understood how I could touch you, hug you, kiss you, and you never knew. I didn’t know how I could hide my jealousy when you were with Cassie or later with your one-night stands. I lay awake at night analysing every sentence I said to you, amazed that you never heard what I’d been shouting for longer than I could remember.”
