A review by xanthe87
Shameless by Kelly Fox
5.0
This is a book to make you laugh and cry, really bringing to the front mental health. It's not just the physical injuries that can affect a person home from combat and Kelly Fox has done an amazing job in showing that with Roly's character.
Even without knowing the whys and hows until later on in the book, my heart was breaking for Roly with how much he is trying to atone for past actions and work towards being a better man as promised to someone important to him that he met whilst serving as a Navy SEAL. He does his best to show Heath how he's changed and to make up for how he bullied him during high school but more often than not it just ends in disaster. Heath is fully justified in his feelings towards Roly and how he hurt him in the past but that changes as a purely physical relationship starts up between them. Of course, Roly's nature sneaks beneath Heath's defences and he starts to notice how different the other man is in his behaviours and attitudes. He especially notices this when Roly interacts with his daughters, full of positivity, encouragement and friendship towards them.
There's a lot of strong emotion to take on throughout the whole of this book but especially the second half as things spiral for Roly and then have the possibility of more between the two men. I love this series and I think this may be my favourite as we deal with hard issues, especially about when it comes to forgiving yourself. I just adore Heath's daughters, they are the real heart of his family. The Wrecked family really come through for their brother, showing how much he means and is worth to them but also to himself. It's also a great story in showing love for a larger body. Heath's bear body is such a turn on for Roly, you can really tell in his actions with how much it turns him on and comforts him.
I cannot recommend this series enough and this book brings out another tough subject when is comes to recovery from serving your country.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.
