Book Talk Review; Trucker

ANGEL 

I know what you're whispering in the car as you pass me by. 

Hitchhiker. 

When you see me walking along the side of the road with my thumb out, you'll probably keep driving without giving me a second glance. You probably think I'm foolish. 

Naïve. 

You might assume I've made some bad decisions. 

You might think I'm too young to be on my own. 

You might be right.

TRAVIS 

I love my job, but driving an eighteen-wheeler comes with a certain stereotype. When you hear I’m a trucker, a specific image might come to mind.

 Uneducated. Dirty. Perverted. 

Rough around the edges and a little bit dangerous. 

But the truth is, I’m not any of those things. In fact, I’m pretty far from it. 

You’d be surprised to find out I’m one of the good guys.

Take everything you think you know about truckers and throw them away. 

Trucker makes you see things in a completely different light, Jamie Schlosser makes you have an appreciation for these blue-collar workers. 

Sure there are a lot of white-collar hotties out there. They all have insurmountable millions and dark pasta that we are just dying to unravel. 

But what about those hard working men who work for the high class business men? What about their stories? 

Trucker makes us wish we have those workers more of a chance before heading straight for the CEOs. 

Travis is kind, caring, such a sweetheart. 

Angel is jaded, lost, and has such a sweet nature you just want to protect her from all the ugly in the world. 

They might meet under unusual circumstances. But it's clear from the start that Travis and Angel are meant to be. 

Jamie wrote a beautiful sweet romance, relatively drama free. With a little anticipation because the characters are excepting certain things to happen in X amount of time. 

I fell for Travis in chapter one. Just something about him told me that he was the type of guy I didn't see often in books, the type of guy I might not go for normally-he seemed a little too perfect- but I fell anyway. 

I felt so much for Angel, she lost so much. But I couldn't deny that her steely determination and sweet nature helped prove she didn't really need saving. 

I can only imagine what Jamie has in store for us in her second book, because while this was a sweet romance it still had a lot of heart. It also had quite a bit of heat. Something I'm not opposed to. 

Travis and Angel don't spend a lot of time together, but their connection, their love, it makes it seem like they were together for much longer. 

Trucker was a book I wasn't expecting. I knew it was going to be unique. I just didn't know what to expect when I started. 

I can't wait to see what happens in Colton's book. 

*Quote- "Lovesick. Fool. Crazy. People could call us whatever they wanted. It didn’t matter because it all added up to one thing. Happiness." -Travis

"Every now and then, I saw a side to Travis that he tried to hide. It wasn’t insecurity— he was one of the most self-assured people I’d ever met. It was vulnerability. And every time I got a glimpse of it, I felt like I was seeing into his heart, into the deepest part of him." -Angel
