A great story
The characters were so great and the chemistry between the two main characters was scorching hot.
They are such a sweet couple: he is rough and tough; she is gentle and kind.
The story is well written and very enjoyable.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Book one in the South Side Boys series a well written story that held my interest until the end. This is Annabelle Locke and Jaxson Kelly’s story. There is suspense. drama, twists, turns, illegal fights, and romance. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I am a huge fan of Ms. Winter, and have been fortunate to have read most of her work; throughout the years. Her latest release, Damaged, is everything you would imagine to receive from such a insightful Author. Never once has she let down her readers, and Damaged is most definitely the kind of addictive publication to draw you right in from the first page. I am not one to give away any part of the plot, so that I do not ruin it for reader’s. That being said, here it goes…
Ms. A. Winter has released another example of her incredible talent and creativity with this book. The storyline, as well as the strength to her characters; Annabelle and Jaxson, are so, spot on, realistic. This is an easily envisioned book, with a heartwarming romance, that you’ll be as enraptured (as myself) with. Opposites in almost every way, but they just work perfectly. I encourage all romance reader’s to follow along, as he fights his feelings for this wonderful woman (& loses the fight). Theirs is a happily ever after worth routing for. I was completely engrossed and compelled to read this entire release in one sitting. It’s the kind of book that sucks you right in, and keeps you flipping through the pages, to the very end. This artist has found her muse in the ‘bad boy’, Jaxson. They revolve around one another with the incredible chemistry between them and keep going back for more. Together they find healing, as well as the love of a lifetime.
Delightfully Designed Must Read Release.
I voluntarily requested an advanced reader’s copy of Damaged in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion and I highly recommend reading this book as well as anything written by Ms. Winter.
Everything this brilliant Author publishes is pure gold and I can not wait for the next release.
I loved this so much! Annabelle and Jaxson has this undeniable attraction that was hard to resist. I love that fairly early on they get together and most of the story is navigating this new territory for them and Jaxson overcoming his past. It was sweet, intriguing, suspenseful, and steamy! I also love Tori and hope that we get her story with Kalum next! And then maybe Scarlet!

Amazing book !! I absolutely loved Jaxson and Annabelle’s story. They were wonderful characters and the whole story is believable. Sad what Jaxson went through because of one person and that person being one who was suppose to protect him. He’s such a good person as well was Annabelle. Really enjoyed this book !! HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING !!

This was such a great read. I did not want to put it down. Annabelle works in a coffee shop when she sees Mr. Dark and Dangerous. She is such a shy person that she won’t talk to him. Jaxson is an ex-con, part gym owner and pretty much stays to himself. He doesn’t let people get close to him except, his partner, and two best friends from childhood. Both these people know what it’s like to lose people they love. Annabelle lost her mom, and Jaxson, his little sister. Jaxson saves Annabelle one night, and that is when things change between them. These two are perfect for each other. They are two total opposites, yet fit together perfectly. They were made for each other. What happens when the past comes knocking? This has action, suspense, drama, heartache, betrayal and some twists and turns. This had such a flowing storyline that never slowed down or dragged and the characters were awesome. I loved Jaxson And Annabelle’s best friends. They were great and had me laughing. I hope they get their own stories.
