Lizzy—
When did my life come to this?
Everything was going so right. I had a job I liked, a cute little house and a great marriage to my high school sweetheart. Matt was my everything—my firefighting hero—until tragedy struck. Now suddenly I’m a widow drowning in grief and about to lose everything.
One terrible day sent my whole world spinning.
If it wasn’t for my good friend, Kate I would have gone under. She pulled me out of my deep depression and found me a new job to take my mind off everything.
I’m thankful to her until I find out my new boss is the VP of the Royal Bastards MC.
Has she lost her frigging mind?
Darko—
When a son I didn’t know I had, is abruptly dropped in my lap, my whole world is upended. He’s a teenager, pissed at the world, and dealing with crushing grief. Suddenly I’m struggling to deal with him and my busy auto restoration business.
When I tell Utah I need someone to answer the phones and keep up with the paperwork, his ol’ lady delivers me her best friend.
I remember Lizzie. She was always the bubbly girlie-girl, so full of life. But that’s not the devastated, barely speaking woman who walks in my shop. Lizzie had the life she deserved. Now she’s destroyed. And on top of that, what does she know about working in a garage or dealing with a man like me—a member of the Royal Bastards MC?
Not to mention the fact that she’s half my age and distracting as hell.
How in the world does Kate expect us to help each other?
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports..
I have to first say that I am a sucker for anything written in the Royal Bastards world. This book is about the club in Durango, CO. It is the story of Darko and Lizzy. Lizzy’s life was going along as great as a girl could hope for. She was married to her high school sweetheart who fought fire. A house that anyone would be happy to own and a job that she loves. However, like has this way of kicking you when you least expect it and her world comes crashing down. My heart broke so hard for her. But she has a best friend Kate that would do anything to get her out of the depression she is in. She finds Lizzy a job that just so happens to be with Darko at his very busy auto body shop. He too is the president of the Royal Bastards MC. He too has had his life drastically change when a son he didn’t know he had is suddenly left at his door step angry at the world. But he needs help in his shop with the phones and paperwork. These two are total opposites but just might be able to give each other things they desperately need. You have to read to find that out. This is a slow burn of a romance that is so well written you feel like y ou are living this life with these characters. You do not want to miss it.
