I read this entire book in one night. It was
delicious.
Zeb Fuller is a contractor who's spent a bit of time locked up, and
sports tattoos, a beard and unruly hair. Also, mossy green eyes. Sayer Cole is
a lawyer who recently discovered a half-brother (who happens to be Zeb's good
friend). When Zeb finds out he has a son, Sayer gets involved in helping him
get custody of the boy and keep him out of the foster system. AND, despite the
fact that she's incredibly cautious about feelings due to her emotionally
abusive father, they are drawn to one another.
Even though this book is billed
as "New Adult", this feels like a truly adult (as in grown-up people with grown-up lives) romance. And it is
FILLED with rich characters who have their own stories (in Crownover's
sprawling catalogue.) Sexy and romantic, while being realistic and touching. SO
thumbs up.
