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.

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Lisa for letting me take part in this tour. I am a huge fan of Melissa's books and I was extremely intrigued by this book. It looked like it would be a little different to her other books.
Truman Gritt has been through more than any man ever should have to. He grew up with a drug addict mother. With a childhood so horrific it's heart breaking Tru ends up going to prison for a crime he never committed. When he finds out he has 2 little siblings he immediately steps up and takes care of them. Tru has nothing but love for these two children.
Gemma Wright has had everything in life. Everything that is except the one thing she wanted, the love and attention of her parents. All she ever wanted was to feel loved instead of being passed off to the staff.
Gemma and Trueman may be from different walks of life but they are exactly what the other needs.
This book is darker and grittier than anything else I have ready by Melissa. She finds a way of making those emotions jump off the page. She writes in such a way that you become ingrained in the story.
I enjoyed this edgier story and can't wait to see what Melissa comes up with next.
