Raw and gritty is the only way to describe this fast moving
story by Lori Foster who is well known for her lusty
passionate books. GETTING ROWDY is no exception to this
rule.
But I think it is one of the best Foster stories I've read.
No getting around the fact that her characters are so real
you feel like they will walk off the page.
GETTING ROWDY is about a bar owner, who is busy
reinventing his life and who he is. To the outsider he is a
compassionate, fiercely protective, caring brother, and
wonderful friend. Quite a contrast to what his appearance
would project...that of a handsome, burly, sexy big guy
who remains detached. It is easier for Rowdy to keep
distant from people, most especially women who
persistently throw themselves at him. He is honest in his
appraisal of how he treats these women. They are strictly
one night stands who scratch an itch and help him escape
the nightmares that have plagued him throughout his entire
life.
Life was tough, and that is an extreme understatement.
Rowdy and his sister Pepper barely made it through to
adulthood thanks to the worst example of parents you will
see. Rowdy's role was that of protector extraordinaire. As
a child he was forced to bear the brunt of physical and
emotional punishment in order to keep Pepper safe. But the
burning question is who watched out for Rowdy.
When Avery walks into Rowdy's life he can't help his
instant attraction to this feisty warm diminutive redhead.
Of course he would never act on that attraction. Avery was
the bartender at Getting Rowdy and the crowds loved her.
Easy
to see why. But that didn't make it easy for Rowdy to keep
her
at arm's length.
Avery came with her own baggage. It became obvious early on
that there was much Rowdy didn't know about his bartender.
But that actually made it easier to keep his distance. That
was until her old life started intruding on her new one.
Strange phone calls were putting Avery on edge and anything
that bothered Avery -- bothered Rowdy. That's how it was. As
hard as Rowdy worked to maintain that distance -- Avery
managed to chip away bit by bit until it was evident to all
that there was something going on between these two.
Lori Foster presents quite a storyline in GETTING ROWDY. It
has everything you would want in a lusty passionate story
with just the right amount of intrigue mixed in. just the
book to curl up with on a cold winter night.
