New Adult #Romance ~ Tru Blue (The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor, Book #1) by Melissa Foster @Melissa_Foster

 


Convicted of a crime he didn't commit, 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.

My Review and Rating:

Tru BlueTru Blue by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved Truman and Gemma’s story in Tru Blue. Truman Gritt was convicted of and jailed for a crime he didn’t commit. In his mind, that’s what family does. They take care of each other and sometimes that means you take the fall to protect someone else. Now that he’s out, the hits keep coming. After his mother ODs, Truman picks up his young siblings from the squalor they were living in and brings them home to raise them, while simultaneously attempting to put his broken brother back together again. He’s not looking for help, but that’s exactly what he finds in Gemma Wright. Whether he wants it or not.

I was pulled into Tru and Gemma’s romance and engaged in their love story. I loved their personalities and how they just fit so well together. I loved them both, enjoyed their banter and strength, and enjoyed the path the author took to get them where they needed to be as a couple.

The secondary characters were supportive, protective, and fun group to meet and spend time with throughout the story. Their close-knit relationships, strong family bonds, and real-life characters make this book exceptional. Melissa Foster wove a realistic, steamy romance in with family drama and so much emotion. The emotions in this book explode on the pages.
