Synopsis:
Whoever said life is hard didn’t know the
half of it!
Completely devastated when his life is
ripped out from underneath him, Jordan Rhodes decides to take a break. A break
from everything he’s always known; the country club life-style, his life-long
friends and his overbearing parents. He just wants to be free to get lost and
not feel the pain he has endured.
Kimber Maguire has been dealt the tough
card her entire life. An ailing mom, a sister who refuses to face reality and a
yearning for the one that got away, she finds putting one foot in front of the
other as her only saving grace. What she really wants is to be free of feeling
the pressure that is her life to get lost.
But when Jordan finds Kimber while losing
himself, they both discover, sometimes you just need to feel to be found.
Jenn's Review:
Feeling
This was a story with heartache, joy, love and loss. You know how some stories
will take a few chapters to really get into it? Well, this one wasn’t like
that. Casey gives us a taste of something just a few pages in. This story is about
Jordan and Kimber. From different towns, leading very different lives.
Jordan
and Susan have been together for 3 years and she is his everything. He has the
ring and is just waiting to ask her dad for her hand. They are going to the
country club for an engagement party of their friends’. But there’s something
going on with Susan and he doesn’t know what it is. This is something else he
wants to talk about with her dad. It’s worrying Jordan and he wants her parent’s
to know as well.
“It
happens so suddenly, her mood turns.”
But you
know what happens when Jordan speaks with Susan’s father? He brushes him off
and tells him not to mention another word. Then Jordan is put on the spot and
has to let it go for the moment. But that’s OK. His ring is now on her finger
and this will get worked out. Susan goes home with her parents that night and
Jordan is left feeling helpless because he knows something is wrong. All too
soon his life changes forever and this absolutely broke my heart! He needs to
get away from everything. He needs a change and some time to figure out what he’s
going to do with his life.
Kimber is
taking care of her very sick mom. She is working 2 jobs and going to school.
What her mom’s insurance doesn’t cover, Kimber takes care of the rest. It’s
exhausting and her mom is just flat out mean to her. Her mom is an alcoholic
and of course that only makes matters worse. Her typical day is helping her
mom, going to class, heading to the farm where her first job is and then
working at the bar at night. There is no one to take care of Kimber but she’s
gotten used to it. It may suck but it is what it is.
It’s one
day while Kimber is delivering lunches on the farm that she sees the new guy.
He’s very easy to look at and for some reason she can’t stop staring. So much
so, she embarrasses herself and gets away as fast as she can. This same day,
Jordan decides to have a beer after working on the farm all day. Just so
happens it’s the same bar where Kimber works and they meet, officially.
Feeling
This took off at this point for me. Both Jordan and Kimber had to learn to
trust, let go and stop running away. That’s hard when you’ve been dealt a bad
hand. I was able to share in their struggle and their growth. Casey did an
amazing job of painting her story, but in words. Only a couple times did I feel
the story slow down. But it didn’t take long to pick back up and I felt the
butterflies. Some from being nervous, other times, downright swooning. I give
Feeling This 4/5 stars.
