About Let It Ride
Clay always had a crush on Maggie and was finally ready to ask her out when his mother passed away. Because of what he needed to do for his family, he had to let Maggie go. When she came home married, he realized they were never meant to be and he became friends with Cam.
While traveling to visit family in Montana, Maggie and her husband, Cameron, are in a bad car accident. Maggie loses Cam due to his injuries. When she returns home, Clay is there to help her recover both physically and emotionally.
Clay has always taken care of people. When his mother passed away years ago, he stepped up and took care of all of his younger siblings. He would take Katie and her friend, Janey, shopping for clothes and tell them when the outfits made them look like princesses. He, basically, raised Troy and Katie while his father, Keith, grieved.
After recovering from the accident, Maggie realizes she wants more from Clay. She wants intimacy. But Clay is determined to just be her friend and help her heal and grieve. So it looks like she will need to seduce him to get what she wants.
Maggie does not want to forget Cam, but she wants to live life. She wants intimacy. She wants a partner. And she wants Clay. The question now is, does Clay want her?
When Clay brings Maggie to a family dinner, his father gets very upset with him. Keith believes that Clay should leave Maggie alone. His philosophy is that she found her one true love and she should love him until the day she dies. He tells Clay that he will not be at family dinners if he and Maggie will be there.
Will Clay be able to move beyond his father’s words and sentiment? Will he tell Maggie what Keith said to him? Will they discuss it or will he make a unilateral decision? So many questions to be answered.
I understand Keith’s resistance to such a quick relationship between Clay and Maggie. I do not agree with it, but I understand it. He is old school. When he lost his wife, he lost a part of himself. He chose to remain loyal to her and not move on. But he should not force that same philosophy on others.
