About this ebook

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?

4.5 Stars This book is so good. It pulls all the emotions out of me. It's packed full of heart and feels. I loved Roni and Quincy. They are so cute together. They made my heart so happy. This book also ripped my heart out. I gasped in shock and cursed some characters. Then I was happy crying because there some truly beautiful moments between Quincy and Roni. Quincy made me swoon several times. When he is with the kids my heart just melts. I would highly recommend this one! It takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, but also a beautiful journey that pulls on the heartstrings.

The Gritty Truth by Melissa Foster The Whiskeys #7 Quincy Gritt and Roni Wescott both had parents that were not there for them when they were growing up. Roni was lucky enough to have a grandmother there to aid her achieve her dreams, but Quincy had only a bit older brother to keep him safe. The two met through a bachelor auction then texted for months before actually going on a date. The connection between them was strong but would they be able to honestly communicate, share past traumas, and then move forward to create a future together? It was well worth the read to find out. What I liked: * Roni: Strong, focused, big-hearted, giving and loving, there for the man that captured her heart. * Quincy: Generous, loving, intelligent, family oriented, focused, romantic, and a man there for his woman. * That Roni and Quincy were open, honest, and communicated openly with one another. * That the two were both able to overcome huge obstacles and do so in a positive way * The love shown between the two * The frank open way drug abuse/addiction is discussed in the book * The supporting cast of characters * That this book is standalone and easily read without having read previous books in the series * All of it really except… What I did not like: * Puck: what a horrible person he was! * The childhood Quincy and his siblings suffered through * The life changing injury Roni suffered Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in the series? Yes Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4.5 Stars

I loved Quincy and Roni's story all though it sucked that the writer put him back in rehab at Christmas! He wasn't a user, so I dont think they should have put him in rehab for another 30 days to miss the holidays. He's a strong focused man. But I loved the way she was always supportive and never left him alone.
