He wasn't going to fail them. Not now. Not ever...
There's nothing Truman Gritt won't do to protect his family—Including spending years in prison 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.

Customer Reviews
Heart breaking, emotional
TRU BLUE by Melissa Foster is a stand alone, erotic, romance story line focusing on mechanic and former inmate Truman Gritt, and children’s party planner Gemma Wright. Although TRU BLUE is a stand alone story, some of the characters from Melissa’s other series cross over as secondary and supporting characters including Bear Whiskey first introduced in River of Love (The Bradens at Peaceful Harbor).
Told from dual third person perspectives (Gemma and Tru) TRU BLUE focuses on family, friendship and love. Following the overdose death of his mother, Truman Gritt becomes father and guardian to two younger siblings (Kennedy and Lincoln) he knew nothing about. A late night run to the local department store for supplies finds our hero out of his element except for the help of a young woman who offers suggestions and a list of necessary items for two children under three years of age. Enter Gemma Wright, the woman who will call to Truman’s heart.
TRU BLUE is an emotional and heartbreaking story of one man’s struggle to protect his family but in the end believes he has failed every step of the way. His mother’s death, his younger brother’s (Quincy) addiction, and Truman’s subsequent time in jail for a crime he did not commit finds our hero reflecting on a future, raising a family with the woman he loves.
The relationship between Truman and Gemma is one of immediate attraction. Tru struggles to be both father and guardian to his younger siblings but gets plenty of help from friends and the new woman in his life. Truman and Quincy’s dark and painful past reveals a long history of neglect and abuse; Gemma’s pampered upbringing reveals a young woman raised to be seen and not heard. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top graphic text.
TRU BLUE is a dramatic and intense story of addiction and abandonment, recovery and rebirth, acceptance and falling in love. The premise is both heartbreaking and heartwarming; the characters are damaged, passionate and sensitive; the romance is wondrous and beautiful.
Top Notch Emotional
This is a book that you think about months later.
The characters capture your heart and almost make you want to be your friend. Your heart reaches out to the responsible, ex-con brother and Gemma, the responsible party planner who both want to make sure the innocent and oh-so-sweet younger siblings are well cared for. And they fall in love in the process. Strongly character driven.
Great read.
So romantic, spicy and exciting !
