review 1: If you like cowboys then this book is for you! Destined to Succeed is the story of Cade Walker and his ranch. Cade is the hottest guy in town and he loves his ranch, his family and women! This story starts out in the present but quickly takes you back to when Cade was just a small boy and met his best friend Suzanna. The two were inseperable until one misunderstanding that drove them into some really hurtful behavior. I didn't expect that this book was going to have such serious topics in it like abuse and mental illness. I was shocked and sad at the life Suzanna ended up living. I wanted Cade to come and rescue her so bad, so many times. I felt like he really missed his mark as a best friend and that made me sad because I really thought Cade was a great guy. "Damn ... moreit. I was cryin'. I don't do that shit. I'm a damn cowboy. Cowboys don't cry."Things quickly changed in this story and it was beautifully romantic and suspensful. Cade and Suzanna were great for eachother and were finally able to find happiness. Cade was destined for success in more ways than one. Working hard was natural for any of the Walker boys. In the end all that was important was Walker Ranch and his family. I had to get used to all the cowboy talk and lingo in this book. But this Northern city girl caught on quickly! The Walker boys are hot and so is the sex! They pretty much take their women whenever and wherever they please. The Wranglers and Stetson are a must too ;)
review 2: As I started reading this book my heart broke for Cade during the prologue. I loved Destined to Change. When I met Cade in that story I loved him so glad he got his own story. His story is a rough one many twist and turns. There anger and hate and happiness and sadness and in the end there is a story of ONE TRUE LOVE and that no matter how ugly or crazy that journey gets your destined to be. Cade and Suzanna have been best friends since they were 9. But because if stubbornness and fear of ruining there friendship neither one would tell the other how they felt. Well that was there first mistake. They decided to be each others first and Cade thought his luck had turned around with his Suzy Q . Ignorance/Fear took them on a different path for many years. To many years. She always knew her heart only belonged to Cade but decided to marry Branch anyway and she paid dearly for way to many years for her decision . She was living with fear at the hands of a crazy violent man. ( what he did to her sickened me beyond words) she finally escaped only because her daughter saved her. No child should have to endure what Izzy B did. Things were getting better for them until the CRAZY showed his face again doing the unthinkable and destroying another life. There journey continues to be a hard one. Anna has always had a thing for Cade but he never felt the same way. Anna decided that she would win in the end an has turned into a crazy person. Cade has fought long and hard to have Suzy Q and Izzy B in his life there were destined to be his family it's what should be. When life gets out of control and two people are so crazy they would stop at nothing to split you apart destiny has to run its course. It's hard to put your happiness in the hands of destiny but if you learn anything from Cade and Suzy Q's journey in Destined to Succeed there is a reason for everything whether you like it or not. Now matter how difficult your journey was destiny will get you to your happiness and you ever after. This book took me thru many emotions I cried because I was so ANGRY I cried because I was SCARED I cried because I was HAPPY. The ending made me so happy I'm so in love with Cade , Suzy Q and Izzy B there just perfect together and after all they endured they deserve there HEA. less
