Adelaide Davis was gang raped years ago during a graduation party where drugs and alcohol were abundant. She did not report the rape and left town as soon as she finished high school. Now, she has returned to help her aging grandmother run her restaurant. Addy is helped by the twin brother of one of her attackers. Addy finds that her teenage crush on Noah Rackham is still as strong as ever. This book is one of a series. There are many references to characters with whose story we are supposed to be already aware. The resolution of the storyline seems to be lacking something, but maybe that will appear in the next book. Wow. This book covers some really hard and gritty issues.First things first, poor bloody Baxter! I really really hope he gets his happy ever after. He really does have good friends and I loved that Noah was still there for him as his friend.I really felt for Addy. The poor woman has suffered so much, and to be targeted again when she went back just made it so much harder. She is a strong woman, especially with how well she handled things. Especially with how badly she was treated, her forgiving nature really won me over even more.Noah too showed a strong loyal side. He not only had to deal with his best friend but with his feelings for Addy and the eventual revelations from Addy, Baxters parents and his own. Loved the fact that he VERY quickly believed Addy instead of everyone else and stood up to them on her behalf and fought for the justice he believed was right.I was however slightly disappointed in the ending. Yes justice was served, but I felt that something was missing, not that I can pin-point it. Otherwise it was another great addition to the series.
What do You think about Home To Whiskey Creek (2013)?
This was awful. Read like a back to school special from the 80's.
