Pepper Ryan grew up the troublesome, spoiled child of a rock god. With her less-than-stellar parentage, and the bipolar disorder that has plagued her existence, to say this little firecracker is a handful would be the understatement of the century.

Sammy Belle spent more than half his life saving Pepper. He’d been her strength, her sanity, and the protective brotherly figure she never wanted to have.

They were never meant to be together.

They gave in anyway.

And just when Sammy thought he had everything he wanted, Pepper ran.

Now twenty-three, Pepper returns to Sugartown, a failed tattoo artist with one too many screws loose who’s down on her luck, wielding an ice cream van as beaten up as her heart.

Sugartown’s most coveted bachelor has always been content with the quiet life he leads until Pepper, the hellion from his past, returns to test his strength, his patience, and perhaps even his sanity. But two can play at that game, and Pepper is about to learn that Sam can give as good as he gets.

Can this good country boy survive Pepper’s cruel city world, or will the whole thing be put down to a bout of temporary insanity?

One thing is for certain:

He’s crazy about her.

She’s just crazy.

Warning: Intended for an 18+ audience. Contains sexual content, oodles of profanity, a firefighter so hot you may need a very cold shower, and one pink-haired crazy Harajuku girl. May also contain traces of nuts. Some scenes within this book may be a trigger for certain readers.

 

My Review:  Now this was an interesting couple to read about.

If you read the other books you'd know Sammy is Ana's little brother and always a little punk to Pepper when she was a baby. That kid and his sharpie...

Then comes in the feisty Pepper who is so much like her mother with the strong will and stubborn. But crazy? Not a word I like to see associated with mental health, but Pepper does have a few things she's trying to work on. 

Sam and Pepper have been at it their whole lives. From typical kid things to suddenly kids who hit puberty and changed in so many ways. Pepper filling out to a sexy lady and Sam to a tall and well built guy.  Since then they started to act a little differently and soon started to develop feelings for each other. But things changed when one night Pepper just ups and leaves...

Fast forward a few years and her comes Pepper back into town. Of course she makes an entrance though, gotta head back into town with an ice-cream truck, a new hair color and nearly running over kids crossing the street....oops! But who's helping the kids cross the road?  None other then Sam and from there things move quickly.

Not back long and Pepper is needing to crash with Sam and things soon develop quickly between them. Some hard moments and a tragedy hits but they actually make it through that. Even after sometime Pepper convinces Sam to move back to the city with her. 

Things couldn't be going better for them, they finally got the chance they deserve until one slip of a bad habit changed things quickly and Sam had to do one of the hardest things he ever had to do. 

Because of Sam, Pepper has the chance to get her life back on track and they have the chance to also continue to love each other and really hold onto each other this time which is so deserved for them. I really loved this couple after getting to know their story better.
