A world
of racing horses, wealth, power, and organized crime was what Garrett Hughes
had been born to lead. He thrived as the boss of the southern mafia. Women had
come and gone in his life, but he had never needed any of them. Once he was
given his heirs, he no longer cared about marriage. He had one family, The
Family. He didn’t need anything more.
The gorgeous cocktail waitress at his private club is everything he despises.
She gets by in life by her beauty, not striving for more. Just like his
ex-wives. Beautiful, vain, and flighty. What kind of woman raises a kid in a
camper, always picking up and moving? A selfish one. Someone who can’t be
trusted.
Fawn Parker isn’t a typical mother, but having a child when she was seventeen
and alone in the world, she did all she could to give her the best life
possible. The one thing she has taught her daughter is to never back away from
an adventure. To live life to its fullest.
The day that Garrett sees Fawn’s true character, he can’t seem to stay away. He
wants to be near her and experience life through her eyes. It’s addicting and
unlike anything he’s ever known.
What he didn’t expect was to have to work for her attention. He’s never been
told no until Fawn does it frequently. Tossing his demands, gifts, and interest
in his face. She refuses to let his money and power control her.
But instead of getting angry, he keeps coming back for more.
My Review: Wow! HEA at it's finest!!
Garrett
is in charge. He's got money, power, respect from people and can
get anything he wants. Anything except Fawn that is.
Fawn is
strong willed. She will stand up for herself even to Garrett. Which surprises
and intrigued him all the same. He will quickly learn that she is also kind and
a super amazing mom. So any one night stand ideas or anything else will be a no
go.
Its
a beautiful story for these two. Garret learns what its like to be truly happy,
and enjoy life all because of Fawn.
Fawn
also gets to feel the same in return. She didnt make things easy for him but he
sure proved himself. After all, money doesnt interest her. She isnt like the
other women that came before. I love how real she is.
The
kinks, the spice, its everything you could want and more. They way these two
burned for eachother was just amazing.
This is
an amazing series to get lost in. You can read them as Stand Alones if you want
or in order. Either way this is an amazing series and a good way to warmup on
these winter nights.
