Today we’re taking a little look inside of Stupid Dirty by Erin Russell, the first book in the Possum Hollow series.
This is a story that’s been on my mind on and off since I read it a few weeks ago, and I’m still so impressed by this debut novel! I loved Cade and Silas’ story and it was definitely an emotional and moving read.
Cade and Silas are both characters that’s been through too much too young, and I loved seeing them find love and safely with each other. They were both so oblivious to their feelings at first, which made the double sexual discovery quite fun to read and I loved the moment they figured things out!
How it begins…
I know I should be used to this, but I’m still so fucking pissed that I nearly rip the door off its hinges when I open it.
Tropes
- rivals to friends to lovers
- sexual discovery
- grumpy / sunshine
- hurt / comfort
- opposites attract
- small town
The same hard body that was threatening me yesterday, and then pulling me back from the edge, now seems like something soft that I can burrow into and hide.
What to expect
- raw and emotional
- all-consuming friendship / love
- vulnerability and tenderness
- mental health issues
- abusive parents
- touch starved MC
- slow burn
I hope he knows what he got himself into when he invited me into his world, because he’s not going to be able to pry me off him anytime soon.
It’s too late. There’s no way I’m giving this up now.
