10 Signs You Need to Grovel by Kelly Siskind
5.0
I love these Bower boys and I totally love the concept of second chances at life after being hidden away by the witness protection program. Like the question of; do you keep living the new life you were given by the government or do you reclaim your old one? Then if you do take back your old life, how do you even begin to explain where you've been and how you left? This is the second book in this series and can be read as a standalone, but I think it was enjoyable knowing the background and Bower family from the first.
For Desmond Bower, he had a bright future ahead of him and the girl of his dreams on his arms. The night his life was turned upside down was originally the night he was going to ask Sadie to marry him, but he decided to wait...unfortunately he never got another chance or even got a chance to explain why he and his family disappeared. Desmond was gone for ten years and it isn't until they are released from the program that he discovers that he has a son and once again Desmond's life is turned upside down, but for entirely different reasons. This time he won't leave her side, or at least his son's and if there is a chance with his first love, he won't wait to tell Sadie how he feels.
Desmond took a dive off the deep end when his life imploded. He made a lot of mistakes when he basically thought it was over, but I adored reading his personal growth from the Bower blacksheep to the sweet family man he was under all the badly done tattoos. He always put his son first, and I can't tell you how many times I teared up during their father-son conversations, and Sadie was a very close second. He was a giant marshmallow under his tough looking exterior and I loved that duality about him.
This book is told entirely from Desmond's POV which is fun getting completely into all of his thoughts and while I suppose it could be frustrating not knowing what exactly Sadie is thinking, I think Kelly did a great job through Sadie's actions and emotions to let us know what Sadie was thinking.
I'm looking forward to the next brother as he takes back his life and what obstacles he will face stepping back into the life he left. This series is so good.
