BOOKWORM REVIEW: 10 Signs You Need to Grovel by Kelly Siskind

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
SPICE: 🔥🔥.5

Desmond Bower and his three brothers are trying to piece back what life they lost when they went into the witness protection program. Now that the people they were running away from are no longer a problem, it was time for them to get their lives back on track. 

Des' life had gotten much more complicated while he was in hiding. He had to leave Sadie back in Windfall, and after ten years, he is coming back to win her over. Unfortunately, the party of two he had hoped they become wasn't exactly how he pictured it, because he now has to deal with Max..his ten-year-old son.

I love this story. The character arc that Des takes from grumpy bartender to doting partners and father was so much fun to witness. I know kids in romance books are not everyone's jam, but this was done with such thoughtfulness that I don't know how Des could not endear himself to any reader. 

And the chemistry between Des and Sadie? On. freaking. point. I love the emotional tug-of-war in second-chance romances because it adds a complicated layer to their dynamic and can build so much delicious tension. This book absolutely delivered on that.

This is the second book in the Bower Boys series, and even though main characters from Book 1 make an appearance, this can be read as a standalone. If you enjoy second chance with a side of cute kid, I highly recommend this read.

ABOUT THE BOOK

A grumpy bartender learns he’s a dad in Kelly Siskind’s latest Bower Boys romance full of second chances, small-town charm, and steamy, slow-burn heat.

For the last ten years, I’ve been living a lie in witness protection. But the drug cartel that put me there isn’t a threat anymore, so I can have my life back. I should be thrilled, right?

Wrong.

The last thing I want to do is go back home and show everyone how far I’ve fallen. I’m not the high-powered lawyer they all expect me to be. I’m just a guy who slings drinks and scowls at the world.

But then I hear about Max, my ex’s ten-year-old son. My ten-year-old son.

I have to go back now. Figure out how to be a dad. Face the love of my life. Make things right with Sadie and earn her trust. Will she have me—or is it too late to reinvent myself as the man she once loved?
