GRR Review: Trucker by Jamie Schlosser

Trucker can be described as what is basically a cozy romance between two young people.

Angel had no one left. Her aunt died. Her father had died earlier and only her mother was in a prison in California. She left her foster family when the school ended to see her mom. On the way, she encountered Travis, a long-haul trucker. Travis, barely 21, operated the rig with his best buddy Colton in Hank and Son Trucking. Travis is heading home to Tolson Illinois, population 320 when he picked up Angel. On the way, Angel fell in love with Travis, and vice versa. Even as Angel get to know the small town, she knew she can't stay. But will she ever o back to Travis?

The reason I called the novel "cozy" is there really wasn't much emotional swing for either character, except for two, and those aren't like "life is ending" type emotional swings (well, let's just say the swing near the end of the book for Angel is debatable, but it has nothing to do with the romance) The OTHER emotional swing for Angel was resolved within the next chapter (though the way it was resolved is funny as heck). There really isn't much "evil" except the crazy stalker ex (Travis didn't even make out with this "ex"!). Most of the book was Angel falls for Travis and vice versa but fights to save her v-card past her 18th birthday

There were just two minor quibbles with the book... If Tolson Illinois has a population of 320, how could it have a thrift store with such a selection that inspired multiple shopping trips that can afford to sell a leather jacket for less than $2.00? And also, for two virgins, they seem to really know how to have sex when the time came.
