I’ve been in and out of prison for the last twenty years. More in than out, but it’s worth it. The shit I’ve done to keep getting me sent back here is all for a good cause—taking care of my family.
I had to. I may not have been a man yet when my father was taken out, but I still had to step up and be man of the house. Everything I’ve done, I’ve done to take care of the ones he couldn’t. My mother, two sisters, and my sweet little baby brother.
And fuck if I haven’t done right by them. Given them a good life. A life that I’ve kept myself the fuck out of, so they can stay happy and sheltered from everything that’s ugly in this world.
I’ve taken all the hits myself so they’d never have to… but now someone’s fucked with my baby brother.
He’s been framed him for a crime that he didn’t commit.
When he ends up here, at Pengrass Penitentiary, an innocent little angel thrown in with a few thousand violent criminals who will eat him up and spit him back out bloody if I don’t find a way to protect him, I know I can’t let that happen. I’ll do whatever it takes, fucking anything, to keep my baby brother safe.
I always wonder how the next story is going to exceeded the last...but damn, she always does it!!! Every story becomes my new favorite. I loved Duke and Ryder. Their relationship and how it slowly built up. I liked seeing Ryder get more....demanding and pushy with Duke. I hope we get more of them like we did with Bane and Ethan. hint hint :)
This was amazing and scorching hot! I rounded up from 4.5⭐️ - I needed more than the 1 full s*x scène and more possessive jealously from Ryder but that scene where he almost went over the table at grim made up for a lot. This was still so hot and amazing I will re-read it for sure! More full on s*x please and that possessive jealousy and needy clinginess you do so wonderfully well!
You know it is going to be a good read when the author has me LMAO while reading the about this book! I love a good prison/ bad boy story, so I jumped right into reading this! It is a bit longer than Becca's typical books which was a nice surprise! This book is all about two brothers - one "bad boy" Duke who spends about 75% of his life since he was 12 in prison - apparently doing things to make sure this mom, sisters and baby brother are taken care of. His sweet, little baby bro, Ryder, suddenly finds himself being sent to prison too - for something he didn't do! He is a sweet, innocent - earned the nickname Bambi - but his eyes are wide open when he goes to prison. Duke knows he has to figure out how to protect him from all these terrible men.
For some reason this was not as hot as I thought it would be. From his behavior and treatment by others, I kept picturing Ryder as a very young boy despite the book saying he is 22. Ryder and Duke calling each other 'Reaper' and 'bitch' even when alone made it too easy to forget they are brothers.
