Happy Book Release Day to Nora Blake!
Dirt Queen is Nora Blake's debut novel, and she has kicked off with an amazing story.
Dirt Queen is based on a true story, and it is a friends to lovers story.
Aaron and Sarah were childhood friends, and when they became teenagers they both realized they were attracted to the other. But those words were never spoken. About that same time, Sarah moved away. They tried to keep in touch, but life happens, and they became more like acquaintances than friends. As time went on, Aaron and Melany were married, and had two little boys. That marriage ended. Shortly before the divorce was finalized, Sarah returned to town. The sparks were immediate. The attraction was still there, and a relationship started. That is where the story begins, and my little recap ends.
This book was absolutely amazing. I laughed. I awww'd. I laughed some more. I cringed. I gasped. I ugly cried. My emotions were all over the place, and even though I was a wreck, I loved it. Even how it ended. Aaron and Sarah's relationship was fast, but when you have that history with the other person it just works. It's as though they were meant to be. Plus they had the mutual love of racing and working on the race cars. Watching their new relationship blossom was spectacular. Watching Aaron call out Sarah when she was trying to hold back was so good. He wasn't letting a communication issue happen in their relationship. Even the relationship that Sarah had with Aaron's boys was special. Then there was Nick. What a fun person. Perfect for the comedic relief.
There is so much I want to say about Dirt Queen, but I also don't want to spoil this amazing story. Just know that you will laugh, you will fall for the characters, you'll be frustrated with the custody situation, you'll also be devastated, and you'll feel the love between Sarah and Aaron. I gave Dirt Queen 5 stars, and I am going to be talking about this book for quite some time. As of now, it is definitely on my top 5 for May.
Should you choose to read the book, have the tissues handy.
Thank you for reading my thoughts,
Dirt Queen by Nora Blake is now live!
I love you. Always.
Sarah--We hadn't spoken in years, and more often than not, he was on my mind. When I moved back to town he reached out. I stalked him enough times on Facebook to know he had a wife and two kids. I didn't want to get my hopes up, but the pull I felt inside couldn't be ignored.
Aaron--She was back. I thought I'd never see her again, but there she was. Within my reach. She agreed to meet up at the dirt track when I sent her a message. What would she think of me being a dad? Did she even know?
The unspoken feelings she tried to leave in the past forced her to keep him at arm's length. He was in the middle of a divorce and had two boys they both needed to consider. He was all in but she was questioning everything.
But sometimes...you have to follow your heart and let yourself fall--no matter how things might end. It'd be worth it. Always.
This book is based on a true story.
