Blurb:
Cash Vereen has always had one dream; to enlist in the army
and serve his country. Just like his father did. His mother made him promise to
go to college first. And so he did. Now graduation is coming and he’s ready.
But his girlfriend, Johanna is not…
Jo hates that he’s leaving her behind. While she wants Cash
to have everything he wants in life, she doesn’t want to lose him like his
mother lost his father. But it’s not her choice to make.
Will Cash have to choose between the only dream he’s ever
had and the woman he considers his future? Or can he convince Jo that some
things are worth the risk?
My Review:
Cash has always wanted to join the army and fight for his
country but his girlfriend is having a little problem with it. Jo wants to Cash
to be happy and to fulfill his dream but she is afraid that if he joins the
army that she will never see him again. She is afraid that he will go on with
his life and forget about her.
Cash has tried over and over to convince her of how much he
loves her but Jo doesn’t quiet seem able to fully believe him. Jo has always
had a hard time believing that someone could love her. Jo is hard on herself
thinking that she is not really worth much.
Can Cash convince Jo of his love for her? Will she lose him
forever? Will Cash join the army and leave Jo behind? How can he prove to her
that he would never leave her behind?
Shut Up and Kiss Me is a short read that can be read in a
less than 30 minutes but it packs a big punch. Shut Up and Kiss Me will make
you fall in love with the characters and make you feel as if you are right
there with them and feeling what they feel. I wanted so much to help Jo with
how she felt about herself but am not sure if I could have helped her as I do
relate to her so much. I can’t wait to read more of Jo and Cash’s story and
more in the Renegades world.
I highly recommend Shut Up and Kiss Me to romance fans.
