Second Hand: Tucker Springs Series, Book 2

Second Hand - Heidi Cullinan, Marie Sexton I stayed up way to late finishing this book on a work night, and now am paying the price.I am freaking tired, but it was worth it!In a world that has been infected with 50 Shades of Shit, I am find myself drawn to a more realistic romance. Is it that I read my quota of money meets virgin in my teenage years, or maybe it’s just that the money today is usually an asshole.My grandmother loved her Harlequin romances when she was alive, she especially loved the ones where they traveled, she called them her free vacations. Me being a broke teenager that loved to read, borrowed a lot of her books.I could never get into her love of VC Andrews though, but I am getting side tracked.The main characters in this book are quite normal, Paul works as a receptionist at a Veterinary clinic, and El owns a pawn shop. I have to admit that when I first met El I had some misgivings, I mean this is the first time that I have read a book where you were supposed to like the guy in the pawn shop. Once I got to know him though I thought he was very sweet, and really needs to quit smoking!Paul on the other hand did get on my nerves a few times, I liked him don’t get me wrong, but he was just so clueless sometimes.The end was sweet, but it ended too soon, I really wanted to read about the barbeque dammit!I hope in the next installment of this series you get to hear about them.
