Meant To Be Different
Meant To Be #2
by Amelia Foster
As a teen, I had my life figured out: graduate and make my dream of being a bull riding champion a reality. That is right up until the goth girl transferred to my school. Georgia laid the snark on as thick as her eyeliner, but I saw through the toughened façade and fell for her. Hard.
She was willing to give up her own dream to follow me as I pursued my passion, but I couldn’t let her do that. So, I made the hardest decision of my life…and walked away.
It’s been twelve years since I left home without her and the all-grown-up Georgia is just as feisty and fiery as she was back then. It’s clear she has no intention of making redemption easy for me. Thankfully, I’m a patient man who knows what he wants. I’ve never stopped loving her, and I know she feels the same.
Back then I was a rhinestone cowboy, and she was a dark angel, complete opposites, yet we fell in love anyway. We weren’t meant to be like every other cookie cutter couple, we were meant to be different.
Momma Says: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐
Meant to Be Different is what I would call a steamy-lite but still sexy, second chance romance. We also get a healthy dose of opposites attract with Wyatt and Georgia, which is always fun. This is the second book in Foster's Meant To Be series, and it's done similarly to the first book with the story moving back and forth in the timeline. I've seen that done a lot to get important backstory across without info dumps, and depending on how it's done, the story can either sink or swim - this one swims with style. Amelia Foster may be new to this writing gig, but she knows her stuff because it all just works. We not only get Wyatt and Georgia's story from the beginning, we also get it in dual points of view. The transitions are smooth and both parts of the story are equally interesting.
As far as our romantic couple, Wyatt and Georgia have a chemistry that is off the charts. It's impossible not to love Wyatt whether he's being sweet or silly, and Georgia's sass is the perfect compliment to his determination to win her back. The story is sexy without being explicit, and I particularly like the way the emotional bond between Wyatt and Georgia shines through without all the steam. I would've liked a little more of the family dynamic between Wyatt and his brothers. We did get a fair amount of Wyatt in the first book, but there have only been small bits of the other two brothers. We get a good look at Georgia's family and what's going on there, but I really wanted more of Wyatt's family, which is the only real drawback for me with this one. Nevertheless, I surely do love this couple, and I enjoyed their story.
All in all, this second book from Amelia Foster is sweet, sexy, witty, and angsty. It certainly has its share of heartbreak, but it's wonderfully tempered with hope. The Meant To Be series is a must read and I can't wait to see what this shining star does next.
