Date of publication: November 2015
Easton Montgomery demands control and order. He’s purposely
kept to himself, no strings and no nonsense. Preferring to be in charge of his
destiny, keeping his life neat and tidy, all wrapped up. Life is perfect, until
the bow comes undone and his world completely unravels.
Jessica Pierce left Denver years ago with nothing more than
her clothes and a need for a brand new beginning. After planting roots where
her car broke down, life was good for a while. Then the ranch owner who helped
her rebuild her life threw her a curve ball. Now she’s the new girl in Renlend,
Kansas on the Montgomery’s ranch, and their son Easton is a constant source of
frustration and distraction. Getting her hands around the veterinarian’s neck
and squeezing, looks better by the day.
After a week of stepping around each other, dodging barbed
comments, and Jessica’s smart mouth, Easton realizes she’s got more fire than
any other woman he’s met. Suddenly Easton wonders if this curvy, blonde
spitfire might just be the challenge he’s been waiting for.
My thoughts:
Easton's Everything is the sixth book in the Finding Perfect Series. It is also the first one I have read. I thought is held up pretty well as a stand alone book. There weren't tons of references made to earlier books, so I never felt lost. The story involves Easton who is a large animal vet and Jessica who is a new ranch hand on the farm.
For me, this ended up just being an OK read. I did really like Jessica. I thought she had a gentle spirit and loved her manner with the animals. But, I had a hard time warming up to Easton. I really thought he was kind of a controlling jerk most of the time. I wasn't too convinced he had changed much in the end. so the romance wasn't a convincing HEA for me. Maybe if I had had more time with both characters and got to know them better? The book is pretty short, so I encourage you to give it a try for yourself.
Kari& Autumn: What inspired you to become a writer?
Amy: It was purely by accident. My husband travels a lot. I
couldn't sleep and started writing this recurring dream I was having down.
Three weeks later I had two full length novels and had finally after years of
searching and feeling like something was missing—was fulfilled.
Kari& Autumn: Where do you come up with the ideas for
your books?
Amy: I often joke I'm so full of shit I will never run out of
ideas. But honestly, my biggest inspiration comes from country song lyrics.
Holland Marie’s Both Sides Now basically
has one novel waiting on me to write it.
Kari& Autumn: What exciting projects are waiting in the
wings?
Amy: Charming Jeff is the next and last book out in the Finding Perfect
series. I'll release it next. But along with three stand alones, I'm so excited
ahoy a two book saga! In the Racing to Love series, Jack & Levi were both
characters I loved. Well readers want them too—so readers shall have them!
Kari& Autumn: Who is your favorite literary character
and why?
Amy: Is it in bad form to pick one of my own girls as a favorite?
She's unapologetically brass, sassy, loves to read and owns a book store.
Kari& Autumn: Just for fun, if you could be any animal,
what would it be and why?
Amy: I'd like to be a small Maltese, but not just any! I'd want
to be my dog because she's spoiled rotten.
About the author:
Amy Gregory leads an incredibly active lifestyle in
Kansas City with her husband and their three fantastic kids who keep them
running in three very different directions. When she's not rushing her oldest
daughter to tumbling, her youngest daughter to music lessons, or sitting
track-side watching her son practice motocross, she's taking the few minutes in
between to scribble the next pages in her Racing to Love series.
When asked, "When do you have time to write?" Amy Gregory giggles. "In bits and pieces," she says.
Amy is known for her snarky, off the cuff sense of humor, which you'll find shining through in the characters she's created.
