When Rome Pierce moved to Bear Bottom, Texas, it was his intention to lay low. To not be seen. To find a way to heal his body and soul—as well as his son’s. Nobody would know by looking at him that he used to play professional football. Not with the Bare Bottom MC cut covering his back, and definitely not with his friendly smile completely obliterated. No longer is there charm in each smooth word that comes out of his mouth. What’s left is an angry, bitter, scared man that’s terrified one day he’s going to wake up and his entire world is going to be gone. Nobody knows what drove him to leave the game he loved—nobody but her. She’s the one person that has helped him make it through the dark days and even darker nights. She’s the bright and shining star in his pitch-black sky. And he doesn’t even know her name. He should be afraid that she knows things that not anyone—not even his best friend—knows. Yet, with each encounter, he gives what little bit of his soul remains, and before he knows it only two people on this earth—one dying, and one too afraid to live—make his life worth living. Until one day he has to choose—the love of his life, or the life he brought into this world. Two impossible situations. One decision that would change him forever.

Review:
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Mess me up will mess you up. This one is a tearjerker and you should keep tissues near you when you read the book. I was not a fan of that particular plotline, but it was realistic. Rome is not ok, Izzy is not ok and I wasn't ok. Neither had an easy life and their journey in this part of their story is just as tough. The author made me understand why both of them reacted in the ways they did and I could see why they had different reactions to the same problem. I liked each person for different reasons. The secondary characters were the best and I want to read all of their stories. I am glad that Linc is next and I want Slate to get his happy ending after him. He might have killed someone, but I liked him and it's not like he did it because he is crazy.
One of the reasons I read the book was the MC element. Unfortunately, this book felt to me like any other non-MC story. The member of the club helped Rome a lot, but I wanted to see more of the club and the dynamics there. The Bear Bottom Guardians MC acted just like guardians, without the MC and I didn't like that. It's the reason I am giving 4 stars to the book.
I don't think I have read another book written by this author, but I plan to at least continue reading the series. I liked the writing and the book set up nicely the members of the club. It's not one of the easiest books to read plot-wise, but it's worth to try.
