Friends, who all originally meet at a bar as strangers, but click turning into each other’s chosen family. You have older brother, Kalum and Maverick. When they are at a very young age, became two of the best at stealing cars, for a chop shop. But when younger brother Maverick has something the FBI needs Kalum decides to do them a favor to protect him, turning them both legit. Now they own two top of the line auto garages. But, both did do prison time.
Two other friends are now married Anabelle an artist and Jaxson who is an owner of a gymnasium with a boxing ring.
Also, in the mix of friends is older sister, Tori and Scarlett. Not totally clear how they both ended up in the south side of Chicago when they are from Wisconsin. However, at some point Scarlett hooks up with Rick a talker and a user. But she thinks it’s love and she gets pregnant by him. Producing Grant. A now, sweet three year old. She is working as an LVN by day and at night a waitress to make ends meet.
Tori her kind hearted yet foul mouthed sister watches him at night. Scarlett is falling deeper and deeper in debt. So, on a whim Scarlett applies for the RN program. Never expecting to be accepted. To her it is a pipe dream. She is accepted, but, so much in the hole, she knows it is never happening for her. Kalum and Jaxson go to Maverick, who to say, is less than enthusiastic, would be an understatement, about their idea of helping her.
You see he has more than enough room at his home, but the home itself is a sore spot. Bitter you might say. But once the guys tell her to go in for the hard sell taking Grant she does. That and chocolate chip cookies. She catches him totally off guard. She found both his week spots a little boy who likes trucks as much as he does, which melts her heart, and he loves her cookies. When at first he says, no by the end it, he is saying, yes.
See the ups and downs off the “Grinch” and “Snow White” living in the same house. The growth and setbacks and then more growths is interesting. Making every girl want a Maverick. This is a Kindle Unlimited free find which I totally enjoyed.
I am sad that this series is over—ugh I loved this so much!!
An incredible well written friends to lovers romance. This engaging storyline is a standalone within the south side boys series. I was addicted page after page as these two complex, well written characters face obstacles, angst, romance, love, heartache and humor on their way to an awesome HEA. I really enjoyed this faced paced story page after page and highly recommend this voluntarily read and reviewed ARC.
I loved this story. It is the kind that you can identify with the characters and immerse yourself in the story. Very well written and characters to win the heart make this book a must read.

I have enjoyed reading this series, South Side Boys, where decent boys that grew up in the not good part of Chicago get their lives turned around and find the perfect women for each of them. The characters are very well rounded and you get to learn more about them from each story. This story is the third story in the series, which I would recommend that you read in order, but it could be read as a stand-alone if you must.
Scarlett is a single mom who has a hard time saying no to her baby daddy. Ryan, the good-for-nothing sperm donor, is in and out of not only her life and the life of their son but also in and out of jail. When he needs a place to stay, he claims he wants to try again, but he isn’t interested in his son, he only wants to have a free place to crash or to hide out. When he gets tired of trying to be in the relationship, he just bolts. Not only does Scarlett work at least one job, but she also wants to go back to school so she can get a better job in healthcare. There is just no way to make all the ends meet to be able to do it. Thank goodness she has her sister Tori on her side to babysit and to talk with. Now that Tori is in a relationship with Kal, it seems like everyone in their group of friends are coupling up. When Maverick, Kal’s brother, offers to let her live in his basement apartment free of rent, she would be able to quit one job and go back to school. Then, of course, Ryan has to show up to wreck things between Maverick and Scarlett. Grant, Scarlett’s adorable three-year-old son, seems to knows what is going on and who is a good guy and who is not so good.
Maverick is the younger brother to Kal, and back in the day, they would steal cars for the local gang. Mav created software that was able to unlock specialty cars that weren’t available yet. After they both did some time, they cleaned up their act and opened an automotive garage. They now have two garages. Some time back, Mav was going to get married so he bought this house out in the suburbs, with a special mortgage that he had to keep it for at least 10 years. Before he could show his fiance the new home, he caught her cheating on him. So now the house has been more of an albatross since he doesn’t invite anyone there. When he offers Scarlett the apartment downstairs rent-free, he also gets to know Grant and Scarlett a bit better than just at the bar when the group gets together. He opens up with Grant and likes how Scarlett has put his care first. Then he is starting to fall for Scarlett until her ex shows up.

I love love loved all the books in this series so far. I did have to read book 1 and 2 in order to make the connection, book 3 just blew me away. Another well written book by Alexis. This book has it all. Single parent, good family and friends and meeting the love of her life. Whilst there were some ups and downs, it kept me interested the whole way through the book.
Second chances do not come often after making mistakes in your youth. Maverick gets his chance with his older brother Kalum owners of two successful garages. Having love and lost at the white picket fence forever after. Maverick is living his life on the right side of the law. Has a gorgeous home on the outskirts of the city. His home has a mother in law house attached.
Scarlett, single mother of a three year old Grant. Has two jobs. Trying to go back to nursing school to further her education to provide a better life for her son. Her friend helps her with life by getting her a place to stay and its at Maverick house. As the story progressive Scarlett and Maverick gets close and then pops up the deadbeat dad with his song and dance story of wanting them back. Maverick should have kicked them out of his house so she could see where her life was going but he was there for her to make up her mind and choose him. Another great book by Alexis!! Great job on this book.

What a sensationally heartwarming friends-to-lovers and single mom romance with so much heart, angst, and insecurities. Scarlet is a struggling single mom who continues to hold a candle for her deadbeat baby daddy for her son’s sake. Maverick is a mechanic who has never wanted a relationship for fear he will screw it up. As feelings begin to mount between these friends turned roommates so do insecurities and fears. Wrecked is a captivatingly emotional new book from Alexis Winter filled with heartache, insecurities, fears, friendships, family, passion, and love. Readers will fall in love with this well written drama and wonderful characters. I absolutely loved this book and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

They turned his house into a home!
by sewsummore
Scarlett was a single mom working two jobs and studying in an attempt to ensure her young son would have a better life. With bills to pay and her rent increasing she needed all the help she could get. When her sister aranges for her to live rent free in her future brother in-law’s granny flat, it was an offer too good to refuse. Maverick had lived alone in the house he had bought for his future wife but when he caught her cheating the wedding was off and now he lived alone. He had not wanted to share his house with anyone but once he met her little boy he could not refuse.This was a romance that started as friendship but soon his admiration for Scarlett grew to something much more. Scarlett and her little boy turned his house into a home and he knew he was ready to make them both his for good. There are some men who should never be fathers, and some me that yearn to be. This was a rewarding read about a couple that find a happy ending with each other.

A compelling and very interesting book three in the Southside Boys series! It is a fast paced page turner that grabs your attention and holds steady from beginning to end. The characters are real, well developed, and believable with just enough flaws to relate; the chemistry between them is hot. The twists and turns, ups and downs, humour, emotions, witty banter, and old and new secondary characters make for one incredible, wild, and exciting read. I look forward to reading more from this series.

Definitely worth reading
Scarlett, CNA and single mom, has known Maverick, custom body shop co-owner, since her friend Anabelle met his friend Jaxson. As the story progresses a need arises, a favor is asked, and they both may get more than they bargained for. Alexis Winter’s Wrecked brings the final South Side Boy a second chance at love. As I read Maverick and Scarlett’s story I couldn’t help being mad some of the things they both did to sabotage themselves. This is definitely worth reading and I can’t wait to see if she has more planned for the series.

Amazing & beautiful love story with lots of drama.
Oh my word I just loved this book I couldn’t put it down. Scarlett & Maverick’s story had me laughing especially when they were with their Tori, Kallum & their friends but then It also had me welling up at times. I really felt for Maverick when Grant’s low life of a dad came back on the scene & Scarlett took him back she got me all mad at how she could pick that low life Ryan over the perfect Maverick. At times I didn’t think they would get together & be a happy family so was desperate to finish this book to find out. This is a series that I will definately be reading again & am already desperate for the next book.

This is the third book of the South side boys series, and it’s getting better and better.
Maverick and Scarlett get themselves in an awkward situation, they become roommates, add Grant (Scarletts’s son) and complicated personal past experiences and things will get complicated. But feelings are difficult to control.
It’s romantic, funny and with amazing characters that we love since book 1.
As always Alexis gives us an amazing story, fast paced, that she manages to get you enthralled with it until the end.
This book was great! It was a friends to lovers romance. Maverick and Scarlett were wonderful characters with lots of sexual chemistry. It is the must read of the year! I highly recommend this book and author!
I absolutely loved this book. This is the third book in the series and is Maverick and Scarlett s story. If you have read the other two, you will know who these two are. Scarlett is Tori’s sister and Annabelle’s friend. Maverick is Kalum’s brother and Jasper’s friend. These three couples are like family than just friends.
This was such a sweet story that will hit you with all the feels. These two have not had the best pasts, and while I understand where Scarlett was coming from, I still wanted to smack her upside the head.. Maverick also needed a smack upside the head too.
Maverick is living in a home he hates, but likes the quiet that comes with it. He didn’t know what was missing until he let Scarlett and Grant move in with him. They start out as just roommates, but along the way their feelings for each other became more. Will their pasts come between their present and their future? I loved how the story just flowed. The characters are perfectly written and I just loved Grant. He is the cutest little boy.It just goes to show that family is more than just blood, it’s also love.

Nicely written even with Maverick and Scarlet learning the hard way that life sucks even as adults! They endure the good and the ugly about relationships, past and budding, but as with any good romance, we get our HEA!!

What a sweet tale with just the right balance of angst, love, and intrigue. All of our South Side gang is back. Jaxson and Annabelle, Kalum and Tori, Maverick, Scarlet; even Amanda and Ben. They all pull together to help one of their own. I was drawn back into their lives from the first pages. You really care about the characters that populate this book. There is an adorable little boy, chocolate chip cookies, a man you want to strangle, trust issues, and unconditional, if unexpected love. What a book, I loved it!
This is Scarlett and Maverick’s story. Still nursing a broken heart, Maverick has closed himself off from all emotional entanglements. He is secretly jealous of his brother Kalum and his love for Tori. He wants that, but doesn’t see it happening. When Kalum asks him to help Tor’s sister Scarlett and her 3 year old son, Grant, by letting them stay with him, his first instinct is to say “No!” In the end he relents. He never expects to fall in love with Grant, and then with Scarlett. Scarlett is a single mom raising her son alone. Grant’s sperm donor isn’t in their life, until he suddenly shows up after getting out of jail. He always leaves, but he is Grant’s father, so what is she to do. Can Scarlett overcome her fear that everyone she loves, leaves? Can Maverick prove to her he’s in this for the long haul?
Their road to HEA is full of twists and turns, but they will find their way. Come, join Maverick and Scarlett on their journey. Laugh with them, cry with them, love with them. Share their fears, hopes and joys. Watch as they come to realize that sometimes, all you ever wanted has been right beside you all the time. You will love this book.
This book can be read alone. I do recommend reading the first two South Side Boys books as well. You will be glad you did.
This book contains adult themes and language, steamy sex, and is intended for mature readers only.

This is the 3rd book in Alexis Winter’s South Side Boys series and it’s Maverick’s and Scarlett’s story. Maverick and Scarlett are each dealing with their own set of insecurities. Scarlett is a single mom of a three year old (who is just adorable) and is struggling to get by, her rent just went up and she will soon be needing a place to live. On top of all this she has been accepted into nursing school but is thinking about turning down because of all the other issues going on in her life. Maverick just so happens to own this big house with an extra place just big enough that Scarlett and Grant could stay, but when his brother asks him to let her live there he says no. Maverick is still heartbroken from an old relationship, but when Scarlett shows up at his front door with homemade cookies and her son Grant pours on his charm how can he resist.
Alexis did an outstanding job with this story. The characters were strong and hardheaded at the same time. I loved the way Maverick softened up some and Grant was so cute. The chemistry that Scarlett and Maverick share is hot, but there was times I just wanted to tell her to get off her pity party. LOL. All in all this was a great book and well worth my time. All though the book is a stand alone I suggest reading them in order that way you know all the other characters and how they tie into the story. The South Side Boys Series had not disappointed me yet!!!
