Jordyn is divorced... Her ex Keith got into substance abuse and she had to leave him for the child's sake. They were high school sweethearts until she saw through him. But Keith's still bitter, and use passive-aggressive tactics on her, even though he only sees her every other weekend when he picks up his son, Sam, for a weekend visit, even blames her for his troubles, even as he found a new girlfriend. Her girlfriend dragged her out to a bar on one of those weekends so she doesn't feel sorry for herself. When a drunkard got too aggressive with her... Ramsay came to her rescue... // Ramsay was raised by his uncle Tom and aunt Millie because his mom left and his father is a drunkard who can barely put food on the table. He went through a rebel phase when his young brother died. He's the genuine bad boy (not a pretend one like Keith), until he had an epiphany and went straight. Working in uncle Tom's construction company had made him tough, and losing his brother at a young age made him protective... which is why he came to Jordyn's aid. // Their chemistry is intense, but Ramsay knew to let Jordyn come to him when she needed. And Jordyn does need him... though she had to admit to herself first...
Excellent push-pull where the characters resist their urges to immediately come together, for whatever reason(s) they think. Keith is a douchebag, but not one you want to punch out, merely a knee in the nuts. And Ramsay... Well, his sensitivity is very good, and his backstory heart-breaking. All in all, an excellent read.
