10 Signs You Need to Grovel

by Kelly Siskind

Overview

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?

Siskind’s enticing second Bowers Boys romance (after 50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover) follows another of the Bowers brothers, Desmond, as he reintegrates into his old life after 10 years in the Witness Protection Program. Des, a law student when his father was discovered to be laundering money for a drug cartel and the family was forced into hiding, now finds work as a bartender in his hometown of Windfall, N.C. He’s convinced that his first love, Sadie Jones, has moved on in the years since he abandoned her without a word and hesitates to reach out—until he learns that while he was in hiding, she gave birth to their son, Max. Des is delighted to meet his smart, sensitive 10-year-old and works to rekindle his romance with Sadie—but just as the couple starts to dream about forever, an unexpected offer forces the fledgling family to make some tough decisions. Told entirely from Des’s point of view, this emotional second-chance romance delivers both a solid plot and a charming lineup of supporting characters. Readers will eagerly await their next visit to Windfall. (Jan.)

From the Publisher

11/18/2022

Siskind delivers a great read in this second entry in her "Bower Boys" series (following 50 Ways To Win Back Your Lover). False names, fake background histories, lies galore—these are all just part of being in the Witness Security (WITSEC)program. Yet, Desmond and his family will soon be free of it all, since the threat that put them into hiding has been neutralized. For Desmond, freedom means reuniting with Sadie and getting to know his 10-year-old son Max, all events he never thought would happen. Told from Desmond's point of view, Siskind does an excellent job developing a detailed story line, while staying true to the heart of the love story. Readers can pick up this second installment in the series without having read book one; they might miss a few details, but this book easily works as a stand-alone. VERDICT Suggest that fans of Colleen Hoover, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and Lucy Score add Siskind's latest to their to-be-read piles.—Shondra Brown
