Dark Knights at Bayside #3
e-ARC provided by author
Sidney Carver painted herself into a corner: she fell in love with her best friend and roommate, Dwayne ‘Gunner’ Wicked. They met in the military and have gone through hell together. She was there for him when his sister died of an accidental overdose and he was there for her when she was injured on a mission. Now they work together at their dream job, Wicked Animal Rescue, and live under the same roof. But Gunner sees her a buddy, a “cute guy”. She’s had it! It’s time for Operation Get The Man and she comes up with a plan to make him finally notice her, where he will be the wingman when she tries to learn to flirt and lure “his cousin”.
Now wait a minute! Why is he now feeling these weird and proprietary feelings? Well, because he’s always wanted Sid in his arms (and hopefully in his bed) from the moment they met. Those feeling were shoved deep inside because he’d never jeopardize their perfect friendship and lose the most important person in his life. But she just changed the rules of the game… Let’s play!
OMG, scrape me from the floor because I have turned into a pile of gooey, warm and fuzzy feelings. This sweet and steamy friends to lovers romance is pure Melissa gold! Definitely a standalone, but you also get to see the Wickeds, hear a bit about the Whiskeys and attend Tank and Leah’s wedding. My heart just melted.
It’s not all fluff and sweetness – Melissa always tackles hard subjects, so be prepared to have your heart broken a little too, with mistreated animals and prodigal children. However, also in true Melissa fashion, she puts you back together.
PERFECT! Now where do I sign up to get me a Dark Knight???
Possible Triggers: mentions of injuries incurred while in a military mission, drug use/ overdose, and mistreated animals
