Review: Love Unclaimed by Jennifer Benson

Title: Love Unclaimed (The Red Truck Series #1)
Author: Jennifer Benson
Publisher: Jennifer Benson
Page Count: 268
Genre: Contemporary Romance

My Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars

Blurb:

Audree Edwards has loved Gavin Montgomery since she was a little girl, but her older brother Clint made it clear that Audree was off limits. Audree however, wasn’t taking no for an answer and made it clear to Gavin she wanted him. 

Gavin, not having the best family life, bolted as soon as he could after high school. Audree knew she couldn’t have all of Gavin and settled for the bit of him she could hold on to. When they are both finally ready to admit they want more, Audree thinks Gavin has done the unthinkable. 

Will Gavin be able to tell Audree he's ready to pursue a future? 

Will Audree see the truth about Gavin before it is too late? 

Will Audree and Gavin finally give in and tell each other how they feel and what they want?



My Review:

Love Unclaimed is the first book in the Red Truck series and the first by Jennifer Benson. it's a contemporary love story about two people in love with each other but never confirming it.
While I enjoyed the story, I found the back and forth between Gavin and Audree annoying. If you love someone enough you shouldn't let what anyone, not even their brother, say get in your way. When they finally admitted the truth, their romance was a sweet one.
Benson takes the time to build the background for the characters. She doesn't just jump in and say, "here's the story, deal with it."
I did enjoy the banter between Clint, Travis and Gavin. They are kind of funny together.
The family dynamic in the storyline is strong. The characters are family oriented and would do anything for each other. I love that aspect of the book.
My thoughts are that while I may not have like everything about the book, I still enjoyed it. The author gave a good start for the series and I look forward to reading Clint and Travis' books.
