HEY people!!!
OK as you all have probably figured out i LOVE me some Ginger Scott. Well after i finished her last book, i talked to Ginger online and she was a sweetheart and sent me this book because it's so important to her and she wanted me to read it.
Here's the blurb---When her son Max was diagnosed with autism, Avery Abbot’s life changed forever. Her husband left, and her own dreams became a distant fantasy—always second to fighting never-ending battles to make sure Max was given opportunity, love and respect. Finding someone to fight along her side wasn’t even on her list, and she’d come to terms with the fact that she could never be her own priority again.
But a familiar face walking into her life in the form of 25-year-old Mason Street had Avery’s heart waging a war within. Mason was a failure. When he left his hometown five years ago, he was never coming back—it was only a matter of time before his records hit the billboard charts. Women, booze and rock-n-roll—that was it for him. But it seemed fate had a different plan in mind, and with a dropped record contract, little money and nowhere to go, Mason turned to the only family that ever made him feel home—the Abbots.
Avery loved Mason silently for years—until he broke her heart…completely. But time and life have a funny way of changing people, and sometimes second chances are there for a reason. Could this one save them both?-----
Now let me start by saying this is a romance novel but it's also Max's story. I found that Avery's struggles as a mother- let alone one with autism, was right on the money. As a mother i related to Avery's need to put her son first and the fear of failing him. Mason is based off of Sam Hunt which is didn't discover until i finished the story but i really enjoyed learning that. Max is a triumph in this book, you see him not just as a kid with autism but as this kid who is gifted. Avery is a triumph, you don't just see her as a single mom of a kid with autism but as a mom willing to do anything for her child's well being and happiness. Mason is a triumph, he's not just a failed musician but someone who learned what real love is.
I enjoyed this book very much and was moved by Ginger's writing of these characters. What starts out as an accidental boob grab in a bar- ends up being an epic, realistic love story of second chances.
I'd recommend this book if you are a mother, or have someone you love with autism. i really emjoyed it.
"Max is always telling me about gravity, and how it pulls two masses together. Gravity. That's what I'm feeling right now. I'm sure I'm flushed, and despite Dusty's being filled beyond fire code, I can't hear the crowd. I'm completely locked to Mason, his eyes squared to mine, and he's the only thing I see. The backgroud...gone. It's just Mason."
Here is a bit about Ginger since i keep reviewing and loving her books.
