ATLAS
I know what they say. Grief makes you do things.
After the year I’ve had, I’m bathing in it.
Dad’s dead.
Mom is…mom.
My boyfriend and best friend are too busy screwing to comfort me.
When a letter arrives with no return address telling me where to go for a new start, I don’t hesitate.
I pack some clothes and what’s left of my life and run.
But I didn’t expect the fire waiting for me when I arrived. I didn’t count on the burn.
Rowdy Wray.
They call him the lion of Idlewild.
Me…I call him boss.
He’s the key to my past and the path to my future.
What happens next is our twisted secret.
ROWDY
Who is this girl?
Atlas Beck.
This damaged young thing shows up at my place of business and tells me she’s my new receptionist.
I should have fired her.
I would have fired her if she hadn’t begged so beautifully.
Atlas told me not to let her go, but she didn’t know what she was asking. And now?
It’s too late to put the crazy back in the cage.
In the Gray is a dark contemporary standalone with themes some may find triggering. Please read the foreword before proceeding.
My Review
Is a full length romance novel by author B.B. Reid. Spoken in 'dual perspectives.'
It’s been two and-a-half years since B.B. put her heart and soul into publishing a book, and I for one was along for the ride. This was one book I was highly anticipating. It only seemed fitting that I turned off life and jumped into this world the author had created.
B. B. Reid came out guns blazing.
With things on a downward slide in her hometown a letter and an old faded photo of five teenagers, urging her to go to Idlewild has her packing up things on a whim and hightailing it to new beginnings which leads her on the doorstep of 'Pride of Kings' four working class men who at a young age had pooled their funds together to open up a workshop.
Now decades later..
Her eyes always got drawn to 'One KIng' in particular, whom she found out later was Rowdy Wray. Who quickly became her obsession before he even knew she existed.
What a crazy ride this one turned out to be, this age gap romance had me inhaling the pages, their road was paved in turmoil, never running smooth at the best of times. Obsession frequently had him with gun in hand wanting to take out any threats which looked at her more than a few seconds.
His obsession and her making him lose all sense of his sanity, these two were perfect for each other.

They narrowly escaped a twist in the story which could’ve derailed them.
This sounds right up my alley :)
