Winter and Theo are at each others throats at the end of Powerless. From here we get to see where Winter and Theo’s story starts to develop. They have a push and pull relationship. Winter wants Theo in a way she’s never wanted another man including her ex-husband and Theo wants her just the same. “But all I see is a firecracker who needs my help to work out some aggression. And I wouldn’t be mad at helping her with that. Not even a little. I’m philanthropic that way.” Winter has been spoken about in the previous book that I read (I didn’t read the first book Summer’s story) but she wasn’t spoken about in a good way. It seemed like she was a jerk and didn’t treat her sister right. “Dude. I think I’m in love with your sister-in-law. She’s so fiery.” But it seems like Winter’s come to a realization that having a relationship with her sister might be the best thing for her. Especially because she has no one else in the world that wants to help her. So she decides to form a relationship with her sister. She also decides to leave all the toxic people in her life and start over closer to Summer. “Careful, that one’s got claws,” Cade offers right as Willa shoves a pointy elbow into his ribs. I grin. “That’s okay. I like having my back scratched.” This is where she meets Theo, Theo is a bull rider that has a very specific goal that he has in mind and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win. He meets Winter and for a little while he lets himself be distracted. But he knows both him and Winter are not ready for each other, since she’s also fresh out of a marriage. “I think I like you because you are a heart-stopping, jaw-dropping type of beautiful.” Fast forward and surprise Winter ends up pregnant. So going into this story I thought I wasn’t going to like Winter because of how she was previously, but I found myself really enjoying her as a person and seeing how everyone in her life failed her. No one had her back and no one was there for her in anyway, so she’s learned to only trust herself. I started to really feel for her and understand why she was the way she was. “Watch your f**king tone when you’re talking to the mother of my child.” BUY LINK ❤️
