In USA Today bestseller TRU BLUE…
There’s nothing Truman Gritt won’t do to protect his family—Including spending years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. When he’s finally released, the life he knew is turned upside down by his mother’s overdose, and Truman steps in to raise the children she’s left behind. Truman’s hard, he’s secretive, and he’s trying to save a brother who’s even more broken than he is. He’s never needed help in his life, and when beautiful Gemma Wright tries to step in, he’s less than accepting. But Gemma has a way of slithering into people’s lives and eventually she pierces through his ironclad heart. When Truman’s dark past collides with his future, his loyalties will be tested, and he’ll be faced with his toughest decision yet.

I am totally into this book until the fifty percent mark. Then, it starts getting hard to pick up. The beginning is funny, yet gritty and it is a fantastic mix that kept you interested in Truman’s life. To see, this tattooed alpha male is a marshmallow for his helpless siblings, yet he holds all that boiling-over anger and frustration in, for his mother and brother are amazing. Never allowing it, once to show towards those two precious babies, his siblings.
Then, all of a sudden, he meets an overly helpful stranger (in his words) at Walmart, and his life slowly starts to change. Here’s the thing, Gemma finds, out everything about his life and background, but at fifty-four percent, she has yet to give up anything about hers. But, because she didn’t run for the hills, and she is in love with him and his baby siblings as much as him, he is all in. To the point of sickeningly sweet.
By the fifty-four percent mark, I realize I just couldn’t take the flip in his personality anymore it is just too over the top for me. What I did read I loved but to go further I was just fighting myself. Thanks for the free chance to read it.
During the Pandemy has been difficult, for me, reading new stories. I find comfort in stories I already know so I was a bit sceptic about reading this one… so glad I did. LOVE overwhelmed me for the characters. I felt and feel that this is the PERFECT time for this book. Everything will be OK :rainbow: :thankyoumelissafoster:
Melissa Foster writes good books. “True Blue” was a little different and deeper than most I’ve read. I wasn’t disappointed.
Melissa Foster does not disappoint. Delicious. The Truman and Gemma story is so fun; pain and loss and tons of excitement. My introduction to the Whisky series. I have picked up every book since this one. Melissa can you write Truman’s art in one of the upcoming novels? It would be so nice to see him get famous with an art exhibit. This series. The family dynamic. And the kids. They are darling.
This story tugged at my heart strings! Two people with such unloving mother’s, but they have fought adversity and are making their way forwards. Truman will do anything for his siblings, and Gemma is so loving and kindhearted. I loved how a strong family bond was built around little Kennedy and Lincoln.
This book had me hooked from the first minute. This was such a sweet and sexy love story that I couldn’t put it down.
Tru and Gemma’s struggles and willingness to overcome their problems kept me entertained from beginning to end. What also got me was the fact that Tru didn’t give up. He didn’t give up on the will to have a normal life, on his baby siblings and also he never gave up on his brother.
Each character and scene was amazing and there were some tear-jerking moments as well
Didn’t like language
I loved this book! Truman is a bad-boy on the outside, but with a heart of gold. Love this sexy alpha! Gemma is smart and independent, love her too! Looking forward to reading the entire “Whiskey series”!
great story. definite page turner
I loved this book, great story that pulled me in from the start
Love this author! Makes me cry, and grab a few chapters before I do anything I dhould be doing!
He pulled himself out of a home where he was ignored, but raised his siblings after his mother died of an overdose.
Excellent book!! Loved the story line and everyone in the story.
If you’re looking for a well-written romance without a cookie-cutter plot and with great characters this is your book. Exactly what I needed!
Emotional up and down with a happy ending.
Sweet story. A solid four stars.
So good! This book has everything, an alpha male who will do anything to save his family, an unconventional female who is different, spunky and confident! Add loving friends who treat you like family and you have a great story worthy of the time spent reading it. Loved this book!
The herisom of a brother who went to prison to protect his brother and the resentment of the brother made for a twisted plot which finally worked it’s way around
So many twists and turns to this story. Kept me on the edge of my chair. Great great story.
Depressing. Didn’t finish.
