Trailer Park Heart Kindle Edition

Trailer park born and raised.

It’s my legacy. That’s how my mama lived. And that’s how her mama lived. It’s the life I was born into and it’s the life I swore I would leave the second I was old enough to make it out. Only legacies have a funny way of sneaking up on you.

An innocent decision the night of high school graduation led to a series of complications in my plans to escape. Seven years later, I’ve resigned myself to this small town and the roots I’m tied to. Nothing could make me leave. And nothing could make me spill the secrets that keep me here. Until he walks back into town with a chip on his shoulder and a stupid hunch nobody else in town has been smart enough to follow.

Levi Cole is my opposite. Born on the right side of the tracks with family money to spare, he’s the kind of black sheep that can afford to be rebellious—because his family will always pay for his mistakes. He’s also the only living heir to Cole Family Farms, after his brother Logan was killed in duty seven years ago. He sees something in my life that he thinks he has a right to. But he’s wrong. And obnoxious. And he needs to take his stubborn good looks and that intense way he looks at me and go back to wherever it was he came from.

I know better than to trust men like him. I was born and raised in a trailer park, I know nothing good happens to girls like me—girls with trailer park lives and trailer park hearts. Especially from gorgeous, kind, pigheaded men like him.

Review

Aesta's Book Blog - "HOLY ANGST ALERT!! This book had my heartstrings tied up in knots the whole way through! This book was so well-written and my favorite thing about it was that ending really felt earned!"
Bookgasms Book Blog - "Incredibly emotional, smart, snappy, and just a little bit heart wrenching. I giggled, I cried, and I spent some time wanting to knock Levi and Ruby's heads together and then give them both the biggest bear hug because - seriously - so many feels. So many complicated and authentic feels. And gah, y'all, I loved every minute."

WOW. Wow. Wow. Wow. WOW.
I needed this book.

I needed a book to help me reconnect with my love of reading and this book did just that. I am going to be completely honest, I saw this book on Facebook, another blog I followed shared it. The cover SPOKE to me. The title was okay but the gorgeous cover hooked me. (Yea, sometimes I do judge books by their covers. I really do try to avoid it but sometimes some covers just speak to me!) I then read the blurb of the book and DONE. I bought this book immediately.

I LOVE books where a strong and independent woman is given a rough life and has to overcome all the obstacles in her way to succeed. I love seeing her push through these challenges, learn and grow. I also really enjoy getting the main character’s thoughts and perspective during these various challenges. Rachel Higginson does just that. She has created a captivating story where the main character, Ruby, has to get past all of the hurdles that life has thrown at her.

Ruby had a plan for how her life would be. She was going to do anything and everything to be better than what life was giving her. Growing up with a cold-hearted, distant mother in a trailer park set the tone for her life. She was labeled as “trailer trash” by her peers. She wanted more. She had the determination to prove everyone wrong and become someone she always wanted to be until…she made a mistake that jeopardizes everything.

And then there is Levi. The boy who grated at her nerves, would tease her constantly and would have a sexy grin on his face the whole time. He was unnerving and frustrating yet smoking hot.

Ruby thought she would get away from Levi, from the town she grew up in, from the trailer park life…well, she was wrong.

Besides the captivating storyline, the well-developed and complex main characters make this book great. They are relatable and easy to connect with. I also really enjoyed that the story is told through Ruby. I could feel her frustrations, nervousness, heartache and more.

I have been in a reading slump for a few weeks now and needed something to get me out of it.
This did the trick.
I craved interactions between Ruby and Levi. My favorite characters were Levi and Max.
Rachel Higginson always does such an amazing job of portraying parental love, and the amazing ness of children, the joy they bring.

I gave it 4 stars because while it was pretty good, there were some aspects I just didnt like. They are my opinion, I don’t think she’s a bad writer at all! For instance, Rachel does sooooo well on teen paranormal stories. Like her Zombie series, Love and Decay, so perfect in so many ways. Her star crossed series, magnetic. But I always struggle with her adult romance books. And here’s why for this particular one.
1. Too much inner dialogue for the main character. I would love to see more interactions between the characters.
2. The villain wasn’t villainy enough. I guess maybe it was too realistic for me. When I read, I want to be pulled in and sweating at the thought of destruction. It felt anticlimactic.
3. She was her own worst enemy, but it wasn’t enough emotion for me. Again, it was more on the realistic side and maybe I just don’t prefer realistic stuff when I read. I know I know, I’m greedy, I want both realistic AND drama that wouldn’t really happen in real life lol.
4. The title gives an expectation of trailer park life, but we only got to see her in the trailer and thoughts of her hating it. It would have added so much more to the story to get a picture of the people that also lived in the trailer park. Like what it looked like. The energy, the good the bad. If she grew up in a trailer park, there would have been a sense of comfort and familiarity, but she lived there like it was a new place. It just wasn’t believable. I can understand the shame when being around rich people, and feeling insecure. But people who grow up like that, they love the people who also endured it. Was she the only person in her town that grew up on the wrong side of the tracks?
5. This story could have easily been two books. First one about her teenage years up until her plans changed. Second book where this one began on chapter 1.

I hope this review isn’t distastefully harsh. I love her Teen Romances, and maybe that’s more my preference. But I really hope she can add the same qualities that her teen books have towards her adult books. She is sooo great at make believe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ruby and Levi...
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2018

The prologue of this book pulled me into this book. Ruby and Levi at graduation. And everything goes different than expected.

This book was a great read. Ruby grew up thinking everyone was against her because of her background, being rather poor and living in a trailer with her mother. Levi was one of the 2 boys of a more prominent family in town and ever since their childhood Levi and Ruby are bickering and stuff. It is obvious it is because Levi likes Ruby, but Ruby only has eyes for his big brother Logan.

When Levi returns to town seven years after graduation he is quite happy to see Ruby, who has a little boy. It is not a secret to the reader that his (late) brother Logan is the father of that little boy, but it is a secret to everyone except of course Ruby. And while Ruby and Levi are navigating towards something more than friendship and Ruby is rethinking how she perceived their history together, this secret may tear them apart.

This story is not complicated or over-dramatic. It reminds me a bit of 'The difference between us' where Molly had trouble seeing her own worth until Ezra showed her. Ruby also needs to change her view of the people in their town, acknowledging her own self worth and that she is a good mom. In that way, it is more about growth and getting to overcome your fears and letting love in.

I loved Levi and Ruby together and their story. I had wished for a little bit more as it is not a really long story but I'll take what I can get.

Spanish & English Opinion

🇲🇽 Disfruté mucho este libro. Levi Cole es uno de mis novios de libro sin duda. Ruby es un ser completo sin duda.

Me encantó Max y aunque la situación estaba complicada y todo pintaba para no salir bien, fue un gusto leer todo el desarrollo de la historia.

Ruby me hizo sentir en todo momento. Había momentos en que quería abrazarla, otros en que quería darle un zape, pero siempre causó una reacción. Es por eso que sin duda, 4.5 es para este libro.

🇺🇸 I loved the story! It was a complicated situation, it seemed that there was no way Love could prevail but it did.

Levi Cole is a book boyfriend of mine for sure. Max is amazing and I really liked him. Ruby was… well. The character that made me feel the entire book. Sometimes I wanted to hug her, also I wanted to punch her but it was impossible not to enjoy the ride.

Ruby has great plans to escape her small town trailer park life after graduation. But life doesnt always work out the way you plan, and so 7 years later she is still there. A single mum living in the trailer she grew up in and working in a dead end job.
Then Levi, the boy who tormented her through high school, turns up again unexpectedly and things get complicated. He doesn't want to friends, he wants much more than that, but she has secrets that she must keep hidden.
This is very enjoyable read, the main charecters are so likable, it is a real feel good book, I was weeping tears of joy on more than one occasions. But I am soppy like that.
It is pretty steamy too in parts. I did stuggle though, with the idea of someone 'getting it on' whilst wearing leggings - that is probably a generational thing

Gefühlvolle, schön geschriebene Geschichte über verpasste Gelegenheiten; HEA aber nicht ausgeschlossen 😉, 4,5 Sterne aufgerundet auf 5.
It is not easy to leave the vicious cycle of poverty, assumptions and expectations - but love conquers. The right book for a lazy afternoon and who doesn't like to believe in fairy tales 😄

I loved this book , I must admit I started reading this on an online site for free (I know I'm a terrible person) I was about 1/3 of the way through it and realised it was an awesome book and was already thinking I'm definitely going to be reading it again so I stopped reading logged on to Amazon and brought it straight away to finish it. Such a roller coaster of emotions and loved every moment of it loved all the characters especially the adorable and very lovable Max...
