BLOG TOUR: Tattered by Devney Perry




TATTERED
Lark Cove Book 1
By Devney Perry
Release Day – June 19
Standalone
 


Thea Landry has always known her place in modern-day society. It’s somewhere just above the trash can her mother dumped her in as a newborn but below the class where much comes easy. With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour.

So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn’t fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she’s kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She’s given up hope of seeing him ever again.

Until one day, years later, Logan Kendrick waltzes into her life once more and turns everything she’s built upside down. This time around, she won’t make the same mistake. She’s going to fight to keep him in her life—not for herself.

But for their daughter.

What an excellent storyline! Devney Perry became an author I have to follow with her last book, The Birthday List. Ms. Perry’s writing is so creative and the story just seems to flow effortlessly from the pages. I didn’t realize this had a loose connection to another series and it didn’t hurt or negatively affect this book at all. I still got it all and didn’t feel like I missed a darn thing, I wouldn’t have even known if I hadn’t read it in another review. So, if you haven’t read The Clover Chapel (book 2 in the Jamison Valley series) you won’t really miss anything important for this book.

Anyway, the characters in Tattered are perfect. Thea is amazingly strong and she’s been a really loving single mother. She has a sad past and because of that, she fights tooth and nail for her daughter’s childhood, to make it a happy life. Logan is also strong and a really great guy. His life has always been solid. He’d never wondered about his family and if they love him. Thea just flipped his life upside down. Now, Charlie, the sweet little tomboy, she steals the show! You can’t help but fall for her sweetness, for her open and loving heart. I love how she’s so unapologetically herself… even when it’s hard.

So this book really gave me a bit of everything. I laughed; I got a little teary-eyed; I fell in love and hated a bit. But what my main takeaway from Tattered was unconditional love. You can feel it pulsing in this book. My heart was so full of love reading the words Devney Perry poured her love into.

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.







EXCERPT
  He stared at me for a long moment. “You’re sure she’s mine?”

“She’s yours.”

“Then that’s good enough.”

“I—really?” I blinked. He didn’t want to verify paternity? He just . . . trusted me?

He nodded. “Really.”

“I swear, I tried to find you, Logan. On my life, I swear it. But the hotel wouldn’t give me your name no matter how much I begged. And you paid cash for your drinks and never mentioned your last name. I tried, but I just . . . didn’t know where to start.”

“It’s not your fault. I believe you.”

The sincerity in his voice made my throat burn. Goddamn it. I was going to cry.

I’d worked so hard not to cry today. I’d fought to keep my emotions in check and my head from spinning out of control. But this was going to make me break.

I wanted so badly for Logan to believe that I hadn’t kept Charlie from him intentionally. The fact that a man like him would trust someone like me without proof meant more than he’d ever know.

“Thank you,” I choked out past the lump in my throat.

“So, um, is Charlie inside with your husband? Or boyfriend?”

The urge to cry disappeared and I barked out a laugh. “Smooth.”

He chuckled. “It’s been a long day for me. Give me a break, will you? This morning I was in New York, then I came to Montana for a business meeting and discovered a daughter. I’m off my game.”
