Review: Becoming a Vincent - C.M Owens

 

Review: Becoming a Vincent - Book #1 The Wild Ones - C.M Owens - June 2017

I had ummed and aahed about reading this book, but then a good friend of mine who loves the same books I do tell me I had to read it as she loved it. So I did and OMG it was awesome, my only complaint was that it wasn't long enough. This book had me laughing my way right through it, and the chemistry and fun between all the characters made you want to be right in the midst of it all and even one of them. Becoming a Vincent is set in a small wop-wop lake town in the backwoods where there are four families called The Wild Ones. Each one owns their spot of land, and the Vincents are one of the families. The town is called Tomahawk, and Lilah Vincent is about to start something of a family feud. You see she has been best friends for the past few years with Benson Nolan and she would have tried something with him if it wasn't for that ghastly beard. You see the town has been in a beard growing competition for years and the first to even trim their beard has to swim across the cold lake. Getting revenge on her brothers Lilah cuts their beards which end the competition and then we have a fresh-faced hunk of Benson Nolan and Lilah falling head over heels for Benson. The thing though is Benson has hidden his true identity, what will happen when Lilah starts to fall for him and then thinks she isn't good enough for his family. This causes another war between the Nolans and Vincents and sets the whole lake on edge. It's a crazy day but then again, this is the home of the Wild Ones in Tomahawk, and for them, this is the norm. Without giving too much away think Duck Dynasty meets Redneck, Small Backwoods country and you have The Wild Ones by CM Owens.  This is a must-read for anyone who is looking for a new series to start as you will not be able to put it down and I can’t wait for Book #2 which will be Liam’s tale with the Malones. I am hoping that C.M Owens does write a book about Lilah’s Twin Brothers as the pair had me cracking up every time they were involved with something.
