ATLAS
I know what they say. Grief makes you do things.
After the year Iโve had, Iโm bathing in it.
Dadโs dead.
Mom isโฆmom.
My boyfriend and best friend are too busy screwing to comfort me.
When a letter arrives with no return address telling me where to go for a new start, I donโt hesitate.
I pack some clothes and whatโs left of my life and run.
But I didnโt expect the fire waiting for me when I arrived. I didnโt count on the burn.
Rowdy Wray.
They call him the lion of Idlewild.
MeโฆI call him boss.
Heโs the key to my past and the path to my future.
What happens next is our twisted secret.
ROWDY
Who is this girl?
Atlas Beck.
This damaged young thing shows up at my place of business and tells me sheโs my new receptionist.
I should have fired her.
I would have fired her if she hadnโt begged so beautifully.
Atlas told me not to let her go, but she didnโt know what she was asking. And now?
Itโs too late to put the crazy back in its cage.

In The Gray is the first book that I have read by B.B. Reid and I loved it. I wasnโt really sure what to expect but I was not disappointed at all! I will definitely be reading more of her books! This book is a dark romance - full of angst & spice!
I absolutely loved Atlas! She was such a badass! Full of sass, smart mouthed, independent and quick witted! She really gave Rowdy a run for his money! I wasn't a fan of Rowdy in the beginning but he grew on me. There were several times when I was cringing at stuff he said or did but I think Atlas definitely made him a better man.
What a plot twist! I really didn't see that coming! I will say that I didn't enjoy when the friend was invited into the mixโฆthat whole scene was pointless by the end of it and quickly became jealousy. I also thought that the ending was rushed. I also think it is crazy having 7 kids within 10 years. ๐
