"Harley said that we are both Broken.  That's why you like me so much."  "I am broken enough for both of us," I admit.  "No denying that. But you're absolutely perfect in every way."The Wilde One is Tucker's story.  We first met Tucker in Wilde Ones the first book of the series.  He has been injured in Iraq and thinks that he will never be able to find a woman who will be able to love him because of his damaged leg.  While he has made great progress with how he is dealing with things, he still suffers from somewhat of a low self esteem, until the day that he meets Gracie.Gracie is brought into Haymakers bar with Dex, the biker who thinks and feels that he owns her.  Gracie has had a hard life growing up and feels as if she has no where to go or no one to care for her.  She has been verbally and physically abused for awhile now and told that she is lucky to have Dex to want her with the scar on her face from an accident when she was younger.From the first moment that Tucker lays eyes on Gracie he is taken by her.  He feels and thinks that she is absolutely gorgeous.  He does not see her as damaged goods, but as a beautiful woman who should be treated with love and respect.  It bothers him to the point that he just can't walk away when he see's how Dex treats her, and vows to protect her from that point forward.This is a very touching story about two people who feel that neither one deserve to find happiness.  Sometimes the stars see that things take a different path other than what we believe we should be on.  Tucker and Gracie have both been put through traumatic experiences and because of this see themselves as damaged.  But when they look at each other they see the other person as perfect and beautiful.  Because of this, they are able to help each other come to terms with their low self esteems.  I like how not only does Savannah Young write about self doubt, but she also writes on abuse, tragedy, and overcoming issues that seem never ending.  The love and trust that she also builds around family bonds is also really good.  And let's all face the truth, who doesn't love a good book about real life country boys... I know I do.  So yes, you got it, this book as well as her other on Wilde Ones is well worth four stars.
