Daisy has been in love with Preach since moment she saw him. She was to be his, his Old Lady. She's lived a life full of misery her mom being an Old Lady that acts like a club whore and her father staying in the bottom of the bottle. Preach is the only one who has made her feel special, beautiful, and important.Preach never knew Maker had a daughter, he wonders why Lula keeps her away, but one look and he knows. She's beautiful, and though she doesn't know it yet, in a couple months when she's 18 she'll be his. When one screw up ruins his world he ends up spending years in the bottle wondering if she'll ever forgive him.Two sayings come to mind after reading this book: "Misery loves company" and "It's a hard knock life". This book is full of both.Daisy takes every bump in the road and still keeps her head up and her sweetness in tact. Her Grams, Gramps, and Uncle Holt are always there for her, but sometimes a girl needs more. For Daisy, Preach is her more. He's also what changes her. The change isn't for the worse necessarily, but it does harden her.Preach has been through hell at the hands of his preacher father. He was never good enough. So many beatings his mother, sister, and himself took. His mind is wreck when he remembers. He just wants to drive those demons away. Daisy is the innocence that could save him. She's the only thing that makes him feel like there's still good in him.There relationship is full of whoa's, both the good and the bad kind. Preach tries to do right and repeatedly does wrong. He loves Daisy fiercely and Daisy just wants her Preach the one she fell in love with. The two are made for each other, but suffer so much heart ache that I really began to wonder if the stars were ever gone to align.The writing for the book is fabulous. The story keeps you engaged as soon as you open the book. There's just enough back story so you know what's going on at first, but it's not all given at once. I loved how this book included parts of Holt, Mary, and Wayne's story as well as Maker, Brenda, and Lula's.  After reading Renegade Lady I expected a HEA, but you don't always know. The ending to this is the perfect set up for the next book.This is a sizzling 5 star book in a scorching 5 stars series.I received a copy of this book for my honest review.
