When in the mood for an emotional listen, I know Rick R Reed will fill my need! This book is packed full of many feelings and each one touched my heart. Randy is the exactly who he is supposed to be. Family man, married with a beautiful son. But is it really who he is?..

This was a really well written story and it was an interesting twist that the background conflict wasn’t coming from rival MC members this time but from a regular, though crazy, citizen. The whole fake boyfriend/fake wedding date is a a trope I enjoy and though this one only skirted it, I still found it..

So this narration was a bit of a chore for me, he sounded like he was trying a little too hard to sound rough, and some of it came off as elderly which didn’t fit with the characters. I know 70 year old men who don’t sound this strained and run down. I wish Tex..
