I really love this series. The author pulls no punches as she delves deep into the darker parts of life. The result is a deeply engrossing read that’s dark, edgy, emotional, and somehow both heartwrenching and inspiring at the same time.

Boots is a hard man with a rough past. His life has been upended more than once, and now he’s looking for a new purpose/place in life. And Mama J is a strong woman who’s perserved in ways and times that might have taken another woman down.

Their story together isn’t an easy one, but I like that. It feels real. It feels like something I understand. It makes their path a beautiful, as they push through and find a way to come together. I also loved the developing relationship between Opal and Camo, Opal a character that tore at my heart.

This book, and the series, are not for the faint of heart. It’s dark and not always comfortable. But it’s still a beautiful read!
