Publisher's summary

The washed-up fighter who can’t play nice:
Peter Gaffin can be downright vicious, even while using a wheelchair. For years, the former back-alley boxer has not only been terrified men from his past would exact their vengeance, but also of his sexuality. After an incident with the cops, Peter is on his way to prison. Behind bars, he won’t be able to repress his fears by being a reclusive alcoholic—or hide himself from the men who once preyed on him.

The protective prison guard:
Drew Greene has been working at Trident Falls Correctional for one reason: to keep track of the facility’s most dangerous inmate. The day Peter arrives at the prison, Drew’s solitary mission becomes something more. Peter gradually charms him, and he wants to keep Peter safe. When he learns they share a dark secret, one that has ruled and ruined both their lives, Drew’s horror makes him even more determined to protect Peter.

Targeted by their past:
Things look up when Peter is released from prison. Drew takes Peter home and helps him finish his long physical recovery that alcoholism derailed. Stronger and happier, Peter is ready to move on with Drew and try to repair the damage he caused. There is only one problem—Peter and Drew aren’t able to outrun their past for long. Can they come together to withstand the fallout from the truths they reveal, or will they both end up in prison…or worse, dead?

Bully Rescue portrays a hate group that has been invented. The people in the hate group are not good, and are not presented as such. However, Bully Rescue does explore some of the ways individuals might enter and leave those types of harmful associations. As the author, I do not condone or support the ideologies or activities of any hate-based organizations, and this book is in no way meant to romanticize them. Please do not read Bully Rescue if you’re sensitive to this type of material.

Completely Different in the Best Way

Completely different book, guarantee it's like nothing you've ever listened to, in a good way. These MC's have a long and difficult road to their HEA, which they deservingly get. Interesting, intriguing, well-written and perfectly narrated. Highly recommend!

The future decided by mistakes of the young

This story starts with a young guy hoping for a relationship and finds himself not only used but forced into a life he never would have chosen. After awhile he becomes part of that life until situations change and he is forced to examine his choices. There is so much to this story. There is Peter and his son Angel. There is his relationships and his scares and decisions. This is a story I became invested in from the beginning till the end. This is a heartbreaker looking at Peter’s life. The narration by Chris Boykin made the characters visible and human and added to the story.

loved it

I loved this book. Chris Boykin's voice really brings this story to life. Peter Gaffin is mean even now that he's disabled. He used to be a fighter and hides from his past. After a incident with the cops he goes to jail. He meets a guard there named Drew Greene. Drew wants to help Peter but it quickly becomes something more. Will they overcome the obstacles they face and find happiness together?

Consequences of the past

After Angels book, I really wondered how the author was going to show Peter in a positive light.
But, this was more of a redemption of Peter as he comes to terms with the effects of his past and learns to move forward with the support of the right partner.

Facing jail time as a consequence of his behaviour, Peter crosses paths with Drew.
Drew who becomes a steadying, calming and patient presence in his life and allows Peter to ultimately face what he had buried so deeply inside of him.
But, Drew has his secrets as well and they will need to work together to achieve their happiness.

A story that is not for everyone as the author does touch on darker, gritty themes but the writing is so well done that one can’t help but be engrossed in the lives of the characters and the outcome of their journey to happiness.

The narrator makes this an absolutely entertaining and engaging tale to listen to.
