Blurb: Artist Arik Bosler is terrified he might have lost his creative gift in the accident that left his hand badly burned. When he’s offered the chance to work with renowned artist Ken Brighton, Arik fears his injury will be too much to overcome.

He travels to Pleasanton to meet Ken, where he runs into the intimidating Reg Thompson. Reg, a biker who customizes motorcycles, is a big man with a heart of gold who was rejected by most of his family. Arik is initially afraid of Reg because of his size. However it’s Reg’s heart that warms Arik’s interest and gets him to look past the exterior to let down his guard.

But Arik soon realizes that certain members of Reg’s motorcycle club are into things he can’t have any part of. Reg can’t understand why Arik disappears until he learns Arik’s injury was the result of his father’s drug activity.

Though neither Reg nor Arik wants anything to do with drugs, the new leadership of Reg’s club might have other ideas.

Review: Arik Bosler is an Artist that needs to learn how to channel his talent through something other than his dominant hand after an accident left him permanently scarred, and limits his use. When renowned Artist Ken Brighton gives Arik the chance to do just that, Arik is convinced it’s a waste of time.

The more time Arik spends with Ken, his family and close-knit circle of friends, Arik reconsiders. But it’s the indomitable spirit of young man in a wheelchair with a handicap that could very well kill him, and a little girl with a similar issue with her hand that finally prove to Arik that anything is possible, if you want it bad enough.

Reg is the owner of the local repair shop and from the first glance; Arik is terrified of the big man. Reg is intrigued though. He wants to get to know the beautiful stranger that is fierce enough to stand up for himself when he feels trapped, but hides his eyes and trembles when Reg or any of his big, biker friends even look at him.

Reg will have to use all his patience and perseverance if he wants to stake a claim to Arik, teach him how to communicate and show Arik that he can be loved, scars and all.

This is the final book in the Senses series, and I am going to miss my visits to Pleasanton. This series is all about learning how to live with your disability; letting down your guard to not only let someone in, but let them help you as well. And most important, find love and a family. Arik has been alone for a long time, and now with his hand, he has resigned himself to a solitary life.

Reg is a gentle giant. He was raised right with morals and integrity, but he too has not had the best luck with romance. It is not the smoothest ride for these two, but you know what they say, when you fall off you have to climb right back up in the saddle!

I liked catching up with some of my favorite characters from earlier books, and how little Jerry played an important role in this story. The thing I have loved about every book in this series is how Grey created these characters with disabilities and showed that even though they struggle and life is far harder at times because of their handicap, they can overcome it, they can live a life full of love and happiness, and most important, they are strong.

If you like stories where your characters have to fight for that happy ever after and deserve every second of it, look no further.

Blurb: Garrett Bowman is shocked that fate has brought him to a family who can sign. He’s spent much of his life on the outside looking in, even within his biological family, and to be accepted and employed is more than he could have hoped for.

With Connor, who’s included him in his family, Garrett has found a true friend, but with the distant Brit Wilson Haskins, Garrett may have found something more. In no time, Garrett gets under Wilson’s skin and finds his way into Wilson’s heart, and over shared turbulent family histories, Wilson and Garrett form a strong bond.

Wilson’s especially impressed with the way Garrett’s so helpful to Janey, Connor and Dan’s daughter, who is also deaf. When Wilson’s past shows up in the form of his brother Reggie, bringing unscrupulous people to whom Reggie owes money, life begins to unravel. These thugs don’t care how they get their money, what they have to do, or who they might hurt.

Without the strength of love and the bonds of family and friends, Garrett and Wilson could pay the ultimate price.

Review: Garrett Bowman is lost, alone and adrift. Looking for work, he winds up at the farm where Connor runs his woodwork business. Garrett was born deaf and rarely meets people who sign, so he’s equal parts elated and shocked to learn that Connor and his nuclear family all sign. Not only that, they accept Garrett into the fold straight away, give him a job, a home and a purpose.

Wilson Haskins is the temperamental butler that works for Connor and his family. He and Garrett share an instant connection. They are drawn to each other like moths to a flame. But Wilson is used to being guarded, reclusive and alone. The more time he spends with Garrett, the better he gets to know the troubled young man, the more he wants… more. But life has a way of getting in the way when happiness knocks on your door. Trouble usually isn’t far behind.

Garrett is a fantastic addition to this family. He was born deaf and has always felt like an outsider, so it was nice to see how Dan, Conner, Wilson and the kids accepted him into their lives without a second glance. What he lost with the one sense he makes up for in spades with the remaining ones. And then there is the long-suffering butler that seems content to be alone for the rest of his life. Some sort of penance he thinks he deserves. Once Garrett gets under his skin, he’ll stop at nothing to hold onto his second chance at happiness.

The Senses series is not only one of my favorite Grey series; it’s one of my favorite MM series. I love how all the characters connect in some way and how Grey takes individuals that have been classified as damaged or broken by society, and gives them hope, love and a family. While this story focuses mostly on Garrett and Wilson, their backgrounds and troubles slowly unfolding across every page, you also get to spend time with Dan, Connor and their brood of “throw away children” that they’ve adopted.

This is a wonderfully, passionate love story with a bite. Sometimes you have to reevaluate your priorities and fight for what you want, what you deserve. This is also the fifth book in a series and while it can be read as a stand-alone story, I would suggest at least reading book 4 so you have the full story for Dan, Connor and the kids and can follow along at the right pace.
