AUTHOR: Pam Godwin

PUBLICATION: September 18th, 2018

The night I’m released from prison, she’s in my bed.
It’s been eight years since I touched a woman, and the Native American beauty is half-dressed, beaten, bruised, and devastatingly exquisite.

We’re toxic together, but we want the same things. Blood. Vengeance.
Violent relief in a warm body.

Beneath her touch, I’m alive.
Against her skin, I’m redeemed.
Buried inside her, I forget the past.
Until the past takes her from me.

Prison made me cold, but losing Raina makes me cruel. Ruthless. Unforgiving.
I killed before. For her, I’ll kill again.
I’ll end this once and for all or die in my boots.

FAVOURITE QUOTE:
"Bully me all you want, Lorne. You'll be the one walking like John Wayne
for the rest of your life.
Don't forget I prepare your food, and I swear on all that is holy
your next meal will grow warts on your asshole and spread a rash to your balls.
Everything below your belt will be so painful to look at you won't just want
your dick to fall off.
You'll take a knife to it in horrified desperation.

This book tied everything up perfectly, the perfect ending to a perfect series. Without a doubt 'Booted' was my favourite out of the three books in this series. This was the one I had high hopes for, the one I was anticipating the most, Lorne's journey was an emotional one, we saw him at the young age of eighteen incarcerated, going in as a young scared boy, coming out as a hardened man, his transition from prison life to civilian life was not an easy journey for him, he struggled to adjust, abrupt, cold, closed off, and slept under the stars hindered by nightmares frequently, but chose that over sleeping in a comfy bed with four walls surrounding him because like prison it gave off a feeling of being trapped.

His family just wanted him back as he was before prison, the only one who understood him was Raina the woman he found in his bed, beaten to near death, raped, by the one man that destroyed so many lives. Now it's their turn to destroy his..

She's a temptress, a spitfire, he shows her how a woman should really be treated and value herself and she shows him that he is capable of love, together they heal, together they conquer.

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, their two children, and a foulmouthed parrot. When she ran away, she traveled fourteen countries across five continents, attended three universities, and married the vocalist of her favorite rock band.

Java, tobacco, and dark romance novels are her favorite indulgences, and might be considered more unhealthy than her aversion to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.
