The Son and His Hope, a sweeping standalone from New York Times Bestselling author Pepper Winters is live!
“Things you should know about me from the very beginning:
I was born to true love, witnessed the destruction it causes, and vowed never to let such agony happen to me. I am not a story-teller like my father. I am not a writer like my mother. I am just a son—their son.
I am happy being alone.
And that is all I ever want to be.”
JACOB
The day he was born, Jacob learned his hardest and longest lesson.
It wasn’t a lesson a boy should learn so young, but from his earliest memories he knew where happiness lives, so does tragedy. Where love exists, so does heartbreak. And where hope resides, so does sorrow.
That lesson carved him from the kid to the teen to the man.
And nothing and no one could change his mind.
HOPE
I first met him when he was fourteen at a movie premiere of all places. A movie based on his parent’s life.
He was stoic, strong, suspicious, and secretive.
I was only ten, but I felt something for him. A strange kind of sorrow that made me want to hug and heal him.
I was the daughter of the actor hired to play his father.
We shared similarities.
I recognised parts of him because they were parts of me.
But no matter how many times we met. No matter how many times I tried.
He stayed true to his vow to never fall.
Review:
When I read the first two books in the Ribbon series, they shattered my heart into fifty million pieces. Ren & Della's story brought out so many emotions in me and left me with one massive hangover for a very long time. I absolutely loved their beautiful yet tragic tale, but Jacob & Hope's story? OMG, it nearly destroyed me! Tears cascaded down my face even after I reached the end. Their story tore out my heart, ripped it in two and then stitched it back together again.
The story follows Jacob as he struggles to move on after the loss of his beloved father. He is so damaged, so broken and due to a promise he made to his dad, very tormented. The promise was to stay on the farm and take care of his mother, but being there brought back all of the memories that he longed to escape from. He has seen firsthand that love only brings you heartache and pain, so he keeps everyone at a safe distance. This way he can't ever be hurt again. At least that was the plan until the day Hope walked into his life.
Hope had also suffered the loss of a parent, but she didn't let that drag her down. She is beautiful, brave and larger than life. She has a heart of gold and a whole lot of love to give. She tried so hard to be Jacob's friend, but he frustrated her to no end. She couldn't understand how he could just hide away from the world. She wanted him to embrace life and to be happy, so she pushed him, challenged him and drove him insane. Throughout all of this, her feelings for her friend developed into something more. She fell in love with him and all he did was break her heart time and time again. Will she be able to see this thing through? To tear down these walls? To make him see that there is no life without love?
Jacob & Hope's story was such a powerful and moving read. I thought the writing was phenomenal. The author didn't just make me feel it. She made me live it and breathe it. I felt like I was immersed in their world experiencing it all just as they did. I loved these characters wholeheartedly and the heartfelt journey that they took me on. I smiled. I laughed. I cried. I cheered. What they had was a love of a lifetime. An epic romance that will stay with me for all of my days.
