A Desperate Man by Lisa Henry & Tia Fielding

 








When they were teenagers, Quinn MacGregor and Aaron Larsen fell in love over the course of one magical summer. It ended in bloodshed and tragedy.

Now, ten years later, Quinn is back in Spruce Creek, Nevada, to inherit his family’s criminal cartel. His cousin Jimmy has been making friends -- and enemies -- in dangerous places, but that doesn’t mean he’s happy to hand over leadership to Quinn. And Jimmy might not be the only one who wants Quinn out of the way for good, especially if Quinn’s secret comes out.

Aaron Larsen is back in Spruce Creek to sell his former family home. Aaron lost a leg in Afghanistan, and he’s drinking too much and battling depression and PTSD. The last thing he needs is for Quinn MacGregor to drop back into his miserable life. But when Quinn is shaken by the news that he left more behind in Spruce Creek than his bad memories, he turns to Aaron like it’s old times, and Aaron doesn’t know how to say no.

The events of ten years ago cast a long shadow, and in a town where they can’t trust anyone else, Quinn and Aaron just might have to learn to trust each other again.
 





My Rating - 4 Stars!

A Desperate Man is a nice small town romance by Lisa Henry and Tia Fielding. 

Quinn and Aaron are two men with a complicated cast. Both return to their small town at the same time, giving them a chance to make amends. 

If you enjoy complicated, troubled characters, look no further.

Both men are trying to find their way, both at a crossroads. Aaron is back to sell his family home. He's an amputee and he drinks way too much. And there's a new discovery he's about to make. 

Meanwhile, Quinn comes from a dangerous family and they want him to run the illegal family business now. But he wants to quit and go the legal route. It's complicated to say the least.

The danger added by Quinn's family is ever looming. It's well written, keeping me intrigued and invested throughout. And damn, this part made me so angry. 

There's a lot of surprises in this story, so I am trying not to say too much. 

The whole story kept me intrigued throughout. I love Lennon. I enjoy the connection and chemistry between the men. Things aren't easy for them, as they have a lot of obstacles in their way. And of course there's a fun twist, as Quinn has a secret - Ohh...love it!

This is a story with depression and PTSD issues. It's a story of resentment and anger that leads to chemistry, forgiveness, and love.

The small town aspect is well done, fully bringing the small town to life. And the authors keep you invested with some twists and turns along the way. 

A Desperate Man is a nice redemption/second chance romance. This Lisa Henry and Tia Fielding read mixes second chances with family issues, danger, and a little bit of heat. It's a fun read that left me glad to have found it.
