Review: The Gritty Truth - Melissa Foster

The Gritty Truth by Melissa Foster
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

 

The Gritty Truth by Melissa Foster is part of the Whiskey’s series and if you’ve read any of the other books before this, you know it is going to be full of angst, passion and sweet times. The story focuses on Quincy Gritt and if you’ve read the previous books, you’re already going to have some background knowledge of him. A former drug addict, Quincy is trying to turn his life around after going through rehab, confessing to his crimes and trying to be a productive member of society. He’s been into Veronica ‘Roni’ Wescott for a long time but knew that he had to conquer some of demons first before he even made a move for  more with her.

Roni has been through her own heartache, losing her grandmother and having to give up her dreams of being an international dancer, she is shy and introverted and although she is attracted to Quincy, she doesn’t know if she can risk her heart with him. Roni was such a sweet character, in ways she’s very innocent but in others she is worldly wise, especially with the way she grew up. Her and Quincy together just make the perfect couple. The scene when they are looking for a Christmas tree was beautiful, funny and very sweet. 

This was a beautifully written story with a HEA. Characters from other books pop up and I love how they are one big family who love each other, but continually try and teach each other about being good people and overcoming obstacles that may drop in the way now and again. There is a little bit of drama throughout the book which keeps you turning the pages and we also get to see more into Quincy’s past which was heart-breaking to read about. 

Roni and Quincy together just make sense. They flow together so well, have open communication, some really steamy scenes and you can feel the love coming off them with every page that you read. I loved how unsure both of them were but how they both tried hard to make things work even when things became difficult. Roni’s feelings about Quincy and his drug abuse were honest and at times raw and Quincy made no qualms about what his recovery would mean for their future. 

 You’re going to laugh, cry and be wowed by this couple as well as all of the other crossover characters from previous books. Another wonderful read from Ms. Foster. 

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
