Grunt by Cee BowermanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mature MC Romance
I’m so glad that this book was written. I loved Shannon, Summer’s Mum, from the last book in the series and thought she was intriguing. A woman who has 7 children, spanning in age from 29 to 5, and is raising the four youngest on her own, is a woman to be reckoned with.
From the last book we know that Grunt had been lent Shannon’s house to recover from being shot, whilst Shannon was away. We learn in this book what happened when she returns early to a strange man in her house, delirious on the bathroom floor. Her nurse comes to the fore and she spends several days getting him healthy again.
Grunt was one of the original Texas Kings, who lost his wife and kids in an accident 15 years earlier. He has resisted getting involved with anyone since then, especially women with kids. Being shot has made him re-evaluate where he’s going with the rest of this life and into this changing in mindset drops Shannon and her amazing children.
I love it when an ongoing series has a mature romance book. It reminds us that all the characters are important and that anyone can find love, no matter their age, not that 45 is over the hill, but some romance novelists seem to think it is. Personally I enjoy books that are filled with a rich complex backstory for the characters and if children are added it’s even more interesting, because extra personalities are added to the mix. In this case the kids are fascinating.
This was an enjoyable book that dealt with complex ideas and emotions and it kept me engaged until far too late.
