Title: Beautiful Rugged
Author: Sara V. Zook
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release: November 29, 2015
Sometimes us silly girls fantasize about things that never come to be. I had expectations after college—expectations to run off with Jake Larson and start our life together in a little Pennsylvania farm town. I had my happiness mapped out inside my head.
I didn’t expect to run into a strange, alluring man with a beard and dark hair stacked up on top of his head. I didn’t expect to be attracted to someone so—different. He was everything I didn’t know existed. He could make me feel things I’d never felt before. It didn’t seem possible that we could be together. We both had obligations. The world told us no, but we couldn’t stay away from one another, couldn’t deny that we were drawn together. He was so beautiful—so beautiful rugged. I was going to make him mine.
Oh My WOW!
What rabbit hole did I fall down into? I won’t even tell you, I can’t. If I do,
I will be shunned. No. I will be more upset with myself if I said anything
about this book. Everyone needs to go into page 1 thru The End just like I did.
What I am going to do, is just write. Yes I know I am already doing that. What
I mean is that I am going to just jot down all my emotions with this one. So
just indulge me for a few minutes, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Here we go…
I am a blogger. OK so for those of you who don’t follow me ( and I know there’s
a WHOLE LOT of you) I need to disclose this fact so we all understand that I
got to read Beautiful Rugged early, ya know, before the publishing date
scheduled. And while I am at it, let me say that I had no other snippets,
excerpts, teasers, other than what Sara VZ has promotionalized <- that’s a
word now. In a nut shell I went into this story blind. No hidden gems were
given to me. What sparked my interest is 1. It’s a Sara V. Zook book. To me
that means some exceptional writing and great storytelling. 2. Let’s be honest,
the cover. The Beard. As a society we are top of the head deep in the Beard
Trend. We are consumed with The Beard everywhere, so yup I was intrigued.
And then I started reading.
And I kept reading.
Until I couldn’t read anymore.
Then I
awoke, did some real life stuff then went back to reading…
And my mind
was blown. I couldn’t believe what I was reading! I couldn’t wrap my head
around the fact that no one has done this type of plot before!
Beautiful
Rugged is Bold. It’s fresh. It demands respect. This story will knock you on
your butt with the brutal honesty of life and the choices you make, also the consequences
of those choices. Sometimes the truth is hard. Life is hard. Sometimes the
happiness you take for yourself will only bring heartache to those around you
but you still are selfish enough to want happiness.
Sara has
written about these choices in a setting that will blow your mind! She makes you
question things about yourself while you are reading. She makes you think about
what’s right and what’s wrong.
Beautiful
Rugged takes ahold of you and puts you in a lifestyle that seems to never get a
second thought. Or maybe it does, and maybe most never share those thoughts.
There is a lot of judgement in this world and when you have a story to get lost
in, even just for a few moments, that’s a powerful thing. When you have an
Author who can write a story so brilliant in its simplest form that it makes
their readers open their eyes to a realm of possibilities and choices, well
that right there is beauty.
And that’s
what happened to me. I was giddy. I was mad! I was downright fuming! I was also
able to understand. I was able to sympathize. I was able to love. I was
tantalized and teased. I was simply,
Blown Away
while reading Beautiful Rugged.
This
is MY Experience.
I freaking loved this book! It’s so
good!
If you want
to read a story that will surprise the heck out of you and that’s filled with
romance and longing, angst over choices that make you question what’s right and
what wrong READ IT. Let’s not forget The
Beard, if you want to know why I keep saying The Beard, then read Beautiful
Rugged NOW! I promise you, you will be completely surprised and you will love
it too!
