Truman Gritt is an amazing character. Leaving prison after six years and returning to the only home he knows he is determined to live his life the way it was intended before the night everything changed. Bear and Dixie are his family now along with the club. Working at Whiskeys Auto is his passion along with his hidden vice of art. Thinking he is settled in a phone call puts Truman’s life into a spiral once again. Quincy needs him. His little brother sounds likes he is in trouble … again. 

Gemma Wright was born and raised in high society but it never fit. Owning her own shop and getting away from her terrible mother has been the best decision she ever made. She loves children which is what led her to open the business she did. Wondering around the store late one evening her breath is taken away by a man who looks brutal but gentle … loyal and hard … and is obviously struggling with the two children in his arms. Where in the world did this man come from and why is she drawn to him. 

This is a really great story. I love characters who face things we cant seem to fathom but come out fighting and strong. Gemma is a magnificent character. She is sassy yet sweet and it seems like this is the first time she has taken a chance and been so bold. Truman is a man’s man. His feelings are worn on his sleeve making his appearance a mirage. I was swooning over the man myself. 
I was more drawn in this book to the storyline and not the smexy times which happens to me a lot. LOL! There were some “silly” moments between the two characters and the things that came out of their mouths while smexy time but that’s all well and good. I haven’t read the previous books by this author but I can honestly say I know I would love them. We get a good teaser for whats up next and I don’t know if Bear’s book is coming or if its already out so I must for sure go check into it! 

Thank you Melissa for the ARC! I love the cover – absolutely beautiful. Nothing makes a woman’s heart go pitter patter more than a man who is hard but turns to mush over his children. I hope to hear more of these two in future books as the ending was sort of abrupt … I was like what … ??? Where’s the next page. But that’s me being greedy as always. Thank you again! Click this one up friends!
