e-ARC provided by author, Audible audiobook
Author: Melissa Foster
Narrators: Savannah Peachwood and Jacob Morgan
The last thing Madigan Wicked was looking for was love… She’s been burned before and she’s not willing to get burned again. Her time is occupied with her family, her puppetry, her quirky greeting card line and her storytelling performances. Everything was fine until HE walked into The Salty Hog.
Tobias Riggs is an ex-con who has suffered more loss in his life than one can bear. He lost his whole family but his grandpa, who only remembers him on a good day. He comes to Bayside to be near him and he’s ben living a lonely life until he walks into the biker bar. Neither one of them wants a relationship. A fun hookup should get rid of this attraction, right? Well, that’s not how feelings work…
Will Tobias’s past be the wicked truth Madigan can’t take?
I don’t know how she does it. I’ve read more than 100 books by Melissa and every single one of them surprises me in a good way. I had met Mads several times in previous books and I knew her story would be a fun one – what a badass, fun, complex heroine! I also knew that she’d need an equally badass and complex hero and, oh boy!, does Tobias deliver! They’re pure fire together! At the same time, I got teary-eyed a few times. cheering for them and for Tobias to find some peace in his heart.
Melissa cranked up the spice a bit in this one and I was so there for the ride! *fans self*
Like always, we get to catch up with beloved characters: the Wickeds are all there, Dixie makes a short appearance and the Dark Knights are there, driving Mads bonkers.
A moving story with lots of all the Melissa goodness we’ve come to love!
Narration: Savannah Peachwood is perfect as the feisty and complex Mads aka Blue Eyes and all you need to know is that Jacob Morgan says “Eyes on me”… several times.
Possible triggers: PTSD, mentions of incarceration, mentions of death of loved ones, estrangement from family member
