Rough Around the Edges is the second book in the Out of the Wild series, one that’s connected to the Brotherhood Protectors world. Piper’s father was just murdered and it looks like she’s next on the killer’s list. Unsure of who or why, she calls Jaden, the man she used to have a crush on, but now works for the Brotherhood Protectors. Piper and Jaden haven’t seen each other in years, but the chemistry is all still there. While things begin to feel right between them, the danger looms closer, but who could have betrayed Piper and her dad?
From the very first line to the last page, I was completely hooked and had to know what was going to happen next! I really enjoyed this story and I loved Piper and Jaden. I loved that they had similar interests, like a love for music, but had been a part for so long so that they could live their lives. Piper had so much crazy come at her in such a short amount of time, but I think she handled it fairly well. She seemed brave and angry and vulnerable at times, too. Jaden was such a compliment for Piper, strong when she needed it, able to be her rock when she needed to be a storm. While their current lives seemed so different, I loved that neither wanted to give up their growing relationship! I will say that I felt their initial drunken bonding seemed a little forced and accepted their issues quickly, but I know it’s a novella, and I still loved their interactions together! The action and suspense were awesome and engaging and this book was thrilling! I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book of Ms. Talty’s I can find!
I received a copy of this book from Hidden Gems and I chose to review it. I enjoyed this book, I thought it was a great story. I would encourage everyone to get this book. This one is worth your time and effort. This is a well written book. I am becoming a fan of Jen Talty, I can’t wait for the next book. I think you will enjoy this book.
When she finds herself in need of a protector, Piper turns to Jaden. Jaden owes a lot to Piper’s late farther and will do whatever to protect her. I get excited whenever I find a new story by Ms. Talty. Her stories never disappoint me and this one was no exception. There is plenty of twists, danger and love.

A wonderful second book in the Brotherhood Protectors, Out of the Wild series. Country music singer Cowboy Cal Morgan has been murdered and his daughter, Piper, is now in charge of CC Music. Piper chose to write music and not perform as she preferred to work behind the scenes to support her father’s career. She is devastated after his death and determined to find the person responsible. Jaden Sawyer was her first love, a talented singer, but he chose to leave the music business for the military. Now that he has left the military, he has signed on with the Brotherhood Protectors. When an attempt is made on Piper’s life, he will be the one to protect her and find out who killed Cal (his mentor) and tried to kill Piper. The attraction is hot between Piper and Jaden as he works with members of the Brotherhood to keep her safe and lure the killer out in to the open. I so enjoy each book that Ms. Talty writes as she brings you in to the lives of her characters and keeps us up to date on the previous characters (Shamus and Andrea, etc.). Will Jaden be able to keep Piper safe? Will he and Piper work out their differences and have that second chance at love? A story that will make you “sigh” with pleasure.

Awesome contemporary romance that deals with the music industry, military and security. The author did a fantastic job drawing the reader into the story. Pipers father was well known in the music industry but was intentionally killed. She grew up following her dad’s band and eventually writing songs. Jaden was taken in by her dad and was a talented singer but he chose the military over stardom. The story has takes readers on a ride of emotions. I received a complementary copy of this book via Hidden Gems and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by Ms. Talty.
Rough Around the Edges is the second book in Talty’s Out of the Wild series and also part of Elle James’s Brotherhood Protectors series and can be read as a standalone story. Tension, drama, and fear greet you from the first page as you immediately get wrapped up in Piper’s life-theatening dilemma. Her father, Cowboy Cal as he is called, died four days prior and while standing at his graveside saying goodbye someone takes a shot at her. Everything is spinning out of control and nothing makes sense. She is drowning in sorrow but determined to find the truth. Not sure how much help the detectives on the case will be, she finally agrees to be whisked away to Montana to be babysat by the Brotherhood Protectors while they get to the bottom of the threats. With her life already spinning out of control, Piper has no idea that fate will be stepping into the fray. A heartbreaking ghost from her past is standing in front of her, now as her protector, and things have now gotten more complicated than ever. Now aside from fighting an unseen, unexpected enemy she has to wage war with her heart and this time she is not sure she will survive the battle.
Jaden owes everything to Cowboy Cal and it gutted him to leave the life he gave him and the sweet, shy eighteen-year-old girl who was never meant to be his behind when he left the limelight and enlisted. He was never truly suited to the life of a celebrity and wanted to follow his dream. His only regrets were feeling like he let Cal down and the pain from leaving Piper behind. Now with her on his doorstep in need of his protection, he has a second chance. If he can find his way behind her defenses there might be hope for them after all but first he has to keep her alive and he will do whatever it takes to ensure that is exactly what he does, no matter the cost.
Death, betrayal, romance and shocking twists greet you in this wonderful suspenseful read as Jaden and Piper fight to keep her alive and for their second chance. There is plenty of excitement to hold your attention and keep you reading until the end. The characters are grounded and likeable and the story well-written and engaging. Great addition to the series.

Rough Around the Edges
Jen Talty
Through the depths of grief a second chance seems possible. Piper Morgan is at a loss when her dad is murdered . Then someone shoots at her. Who can she trust to not only protect her, but also find out who the murderer is. From her past comes Jaden Sawyer part of the Brotherhood Protectors. He also is the one she can’t forget.
It starts off as the beginning of a roller coaster ride that takes you on twists and turns with characters who have you rooting for their second chance.
This book shares a lot of similarities with the one before it in the series. There’s a twisty little mystery wrapped around charming second chance romance. Piper and Jaden’s story is quite as action-packed as Sheamus and Ambers. This is a bit more of a cerebral thriller with all the intrigue and double-crosses. However, it hits all the emotional hot buttons as Pipe and Jaden come to terms with the choices that kept them apart ten years ago and the events and actions that have brought them together now. I look forward to reading who’s up next on the ‘hit list’ from the Brotherhood Protectors.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
