Xander Evans has been on the road for many years. Never settling. Always moving from one place to another, unable to let go of his past. He lived a tragic childhood, spending most of those years in foster care. He's never felt like he's had a home. That is until he stops in the small town of Truman Valley, Missouri, where he meets a woman who will change everything he's ever known.
Paige Watson has it all. A loving family, beautiful home, and a great career. The only thing she's missing....is love. After escaping an abusive relationship, she opens her heart up to a stranger. He is unlike any man she's ever met. He came into her life and turned it completely upside down. Everything is perfect. That is, until one fateful night.
A night that would tear the Watson family apart, never to be put back together again.
A night that would send Xander away to prison for life.

"How about twenty questions?" I ask.
"I hate twenty questions."
"How about five questions, then?"
He cracks a smile and lifts an eyebrow. "How about three?"
"Deal!"
"So, have I mentioned how much I fucking hate Tuesdays?" Brandi's voice cuts right between us. Xander looks relieved.
Me? Not so much. "Damn it, Brandi!"
"What?"
"Oh nothing. Can you grab me Fireball though? Pretty please. Two of them." I look at Xander. "You're taking one."
"Three. I am too, bitch! Fuck Tuesdays!" Brandi calls out from across the bar as she begins filling the shot glasses from the Fireball chiller.
"Question one. You said you’ve been traveling for a while now, right? Do you ever get tired of it? Ever feel like settling?”
"Damn. Starting out with the heavy hitters, huh?" He eyes the shot glasses as if hoping it will somehow make them fill faster.
"Need me to go easier on you? Maybe a finger or two first before I go in with the whole fist?"
He looks at me in disbelief. "Did you really just say that?"
"Just answer the question, two fingers or three?"

BLOGS REVIEW
This is not your typical boy meets girl and they live HEA with no drama. This is so much better than that. You will see suspense, hot scenes by a lake oh my, draw dropping moments and shivers for what Xander goes through let along what Paige experiences.
BT did an awesome job as his first debut without a co-writer. I can't wait to read the next one.
BT puts you into the story and leaves nothing out so that we feel as if we are the secondary characters as well. I did want to throttle a couple of the men though, they deserved what they had coming.
Xander didn't have the perfect life growing up, he grew up in a foster home and his stop in a small town leads him to Paige and her family. I love how they all fit together, well except the brother and that is another story in itself. Oh my, I wish I could say more, but I can't without leaving spoilers. The suspense really keeps you on your toes and totally did not expect a few turns that occurred in the story.
Xander took the fall for a crime he did not commit and now we will need to learn if he gets a chance to adjust to society again or continue his life sentence.
Paige is awesome and while she has a good life, she did have a past with domestic violence. We get to learn how it feels when someone goes through this and how they can't always put it in the past when you live in a small town and have to learn to be strong.
This book sets you in the small town and you will be left with nothing, but an oh my moment and wondering what book 2 will lead us with. The secondary characters for the most part make the story so much better, except for those few you want to strangle or throw wine bottles at. haha. This is a suspense romance you don't want to miss or you will be sorry.
