This is the third book in the Caldwell Brothers series, and while it can be read as a standalone, I don't recommend it. You should absolutely check out Hendrix and Morrison because the background will help you better understand this story and because they are just really great books you wouldn't want to miss anyway. So, the Caldwell brothers are good guys but not your typical good guy if you know what I mean. They are completely unrefined and rough around the edges. They can be crude and moody and bossy, but they truly just want to be the good their momma raised them to be. Jagger is the youngest of the the brothers. While he envied the connections his brothers have found and adores his quirky sister in laws, Jagger doesn't really see that future for himself....well, not until he encounters Tatiana. She is a girl too old for her teenage body but yet too young for Jagger. She has experienced so much in her short life, and when Jagger interrupts the abuse that has become routine for Tatiana, he makes her believe something different might be possible. Jagger sees everything he wants in Tatiana, but despite her old soul, she is only seventeen. He knows he has to bide his time and let her come to him when she is of age and ready. He settles for anonymously caring for her from afar.
Unfortunately when Tatiana finally makes her escape, Jagger appears to be otherwise occupied. She accepts another's offer of help, but the help she recieves complicates matters in multiple ways.
This series was unique and full of really great characters I couldn't help but get attached to. I only wish there were more brothers so the series could keep going. Who knows, maybe the authors will give Kid hugs own story. I would love that!
I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
