Road to Grace by Piper Davenport
5.0

Who needs a TV when there are amazing books like this one to read? I found more excitement and emotion with in the covers of Road to Grace than I ever see in the theater. The only thing missing was the popcorn and soda. Even better the second time around.

Grace's life changed the day she was almost killed at the hand of her own mother. It was Maisie that saved her life by distracting her mother, who then turned the gun on herself. How does a little girl come back from that? Talk about an emotional roller coaster.

Grace and Poppy have graduated from College. Grace has been offered a position with the San Francisco Ballet but just can't do it. Fearing life on her own, she moves in with her brother, Finch just in time to see him patched in to the Dogs of Fire. Too bad it won't be easy avoiding her dad.

Flea spots Grace from across the room. He remembers comforting her all those years ago. It is strange how emotions can grow without intent or thought. Flea is on an emotional roller coaster. How does he earn Grace's heart? Will the ten year age difference be a barrier? Will her past be the unbreakable barrier?

One of the things I love best about Piper Davenport's books is the fantastic trip down memory lane. I get to visit with the members of Dogs of Fire and their extended families. This visit had me biting my nails.

One of the members is accused of the unthinkable. He is taking away in cuffs without access to an attorney. The Dogs will stop at nothing to prove his innocence. They recruit Grace's dad, a cop, to aid in the release. It is all hands on deck.

But that won't stop Flea from protecting Grace, from loving Grace, from being part of her extended family.
