Publisher Description

A fun, sexy, and emotionally riveting new standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. THE GRITTY TRUTH is the perfect love story for those who enjoy fiercely loyal and insanely sexy alpha heroes, smart, sassy heroines, strong family bonds, bikers, babies, and more!


Recovering drug addict Quincy Gritt has fought his demons. He’s confessed to his crimes and conquered his addictions. He’s finally ready to go after sweet, sexy Roni, the gorgeous brunette who won a date with him in a charity auction five months ago and has been putting him off, and driving him wild, ever since. 


Dancer Veronica “Roni” Wescott worked hard to escape the seedy area where she was raised and followed her dreams to Julliard, only to have them shattered in the blink of an eye. She fought hard and regained her footing, but then the rug was pulled out from under her again when the grandmother who raised her passed away, leaving Roni feeling adrift in a world she knows very little about outside of dance. And then there's Charlie Hunnam–lookalike Quincy Gritt—the man whose late-night texts pulled her through her grief and have been setting her heart aflutter for months.

 

Quincy pulls out all the stops, determined to prove that their friendship is only the beginning of what’s destined to be so much more. Romantic nights lead to smoldering passion and a deep connection too strong to be denied. But when Quincy’s past comes back to haunt him, can he and Roni accept their new gritty truth, or will Quincy spiral back into the darkness and lose the future he fought so hard to have?

Quincy

Quincy Gritt tells the truth, even when it’s ugly, even when it hurts. He is on a road of recovery after a horrible childhood made survivable only by his older brother Tru and then his younger siblings Kennedy and Lincoln. He spent years running from himself and his actions when he was a teen. Now he is a responsible, good man. He has his past, but he is moving forward. Roni is the one that makes Quincy whole, but she has her own issues. Their paths have crossed before, but neither knows that. Author Melissa Foster weaves a story that is both sad and uplifting, scary and encouraging. She has done her homework on drug addiction and recovery, and she writes a believable story that will draw you in and keep you turning pages. I enjoyed seeing where the Whiskey’s are now, and I liked the slow growth in Quincy and Roni’s relationship. But when they finally came together, man the heat could burn you! This is a gritty story, not a light and fanciful one. If you’re ready for truth and family, love and the darker side of life, this story is for you.

Sooooo Good

What a wonderful story! Quincey and Roni’s story is heartbreakingly beautiful, passionate and raw. They both come from difficult pasts and are real and honest and have earned their HEA. Melissa Foster balances this emotional tale with her signature humor, fun group of characters and wholehearted love.

Emotionally gripping!

Wow, so much to say about this newest book by Melissa Foster and not give away any spoilers! Gonna be tough. I was personally reluctant to read this because of two reasons, 1-I hadn’t read Tru’s book until right before getting this one and 2-I wasn’t emotionally ready to read them. But, I am so thankful that I did read Tru’s book and now Quincy’s. Such a beautiful story or recovery, love, and family. Who could want for anything more? Melissa does a fantastic job of writing. Her characters are beautiful, smart, sassy, sexy, and oh so loving. I forgot to mention they typically face very real troubles while managing to find love and the courage to overcome/meet their demons head on. This story is so full of love and support from family and friends, it is just amazing.
