I downloaded a free copy of this story from Story Cartel in exchange for my honest review.This is the second book in The Wilde Series by Savannah Young.Of the four Wilde brothers, Tucker is probably the surliest. He has a lot of pent up anger and frustration. He was damaged - physically and emotionally - in the Iraqi war. He suffers from survivor's guilt and fears that he is only half the man he should be.Gracie is just as damaged. She grew up with careless and irresponsible parents, unlike Tucker, who had and still has very strong familial support. Her father literally sold her and her "owner", Dex, treats her like garbage. He abuses her sexually and beats her. She considers herself unworthy of any special attention, especially love. After Tucker witnesses the abuse firsthand, he can't help but offer her his protection, though the shadow of Dex still hovers ominously over their relationship.Though the relationship develops over a period of days, you can almost imagine the people both Gracie and Tucker will become. Though both broken, they seem to be able to seal each others cracks and fissures.The series is coming along quite nicely. I really do look forward to Hunter's story, since he's the brother that is mentioned the least, in my opinion. Keep 'em coming, Ms. Young. I recommended the first book, and I'm happy that I can do the same with the second.
