I reviewed Madness by Jas T. Ward last year and was definitely in love with her twist on the paranormal and her writing style in general. When she asked if I would consider reviewing Love's Bitter Harvest even though it wasn't of the PNR genre, I jumped at the chance.
Review for Love’s Bitter Harvest by Jas T. Ward
This is a love-story
that is unique.
High school
sweethearts, Matt and Katy marry and take over the family farm and live...happily
ever after?
Yeah, that doesn’t
sound like a unique story does it?
For Katy coming from a
background where all she thought she craved was a family and nothing more,
being with the love of her life and settling had seemed easy enough. But after
four years, she was given the job opportunity of a lifetime in New York and
Katy decided to jump on it when her husband didn’t attempt to stop her.
Matt, a prideful man,
had let her go and in the process his life fell in shambles within four years
after neglecting the farm and his life in general. Living his life with anger,
hatred, and pain, caused Matt to become a shell of his former self. Then to
make matters worse, another tragedy befalls him. Holding onto the anger seems
to be all he has left.
The way this story is
woven you feel both Katy and Matt’s pain, frustration, and anger.
I’m not easily brought
to tears and I have to admit, I had to wipe away more than just a few reading
through this story.
For what had originally
started as a challenge to write outside of her comfort zone of the paranormal,
Jas T. Ward has thrown down the gauntlet and proven her worth! Not many authors
can successfully pull off a switch in genres, but in my opinion...she absolutely
nailed it.
