He wore the skin of a killer, and bore the heart of a lover...
There's nothing Truman Gritt won't do to protect his family--Including spending years in jail for a crime he didn't commit. When he's finally released, the life he knew is turned upside down by his mother's overdose, and Truman steps in to raise the children she's left behind. Truman's hard, he's secretive, and he's trying to save a brother who's even more broken than he is. He's never needed help in his life, and when beautiful Gemma Wright tries to step in, he's less than accepting. But Gemma has a way of slithering into people's lives and eventually she pierces through his ironclad heart. When Truman's dark past collides with his future, his loyalties will be tested, and he'll be faced with his toughest decision yet.

4 Stars
This was slightly different to the Melissa Foster books that I love and adore. I really enjoyed Truman and Gemma's story.
Truman is an enigmatic character with a multitude of sides to his personality. He's a convicted felon with a dark past, a mechanic and an artist. He's loyal, selfless, family orientated and a quiet achiever.
Truman is a protector through and through but his choices impact more than just his own life.
Gemma Wright is a lovely character. Kind, compassionate, caring and a voice of reason.
Overall this is a lovely story of family and friendship. With both sexy and sweet elements. Truman Gritt's story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming and I look forward to seeing familiar characters find their happy ever after in the coming Whiskey family books.
