ARC Review: Bitter Sweet Heart by H. Hunting

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Maverick but this book left me like Janet from Friends. 

Maverick is a protector of his family and his friends, constantly putting himself behind everyone else.  You see this right away, so when he finally grabs something just for himself it’s a little heartbreaking that it comes with so much baggage and that he dealt with it by himself.  I wanted to yell at everyone to open their eyes and see what was going on, but understood this was Maverick and he had to decide when he was going to let someone in.

Clover was perfect for Mav.  Like Lavender, he is his mother’s son and needed someone who would even out his crazy.  And like Alex and Kody, Clover was that person.  She saw past the sparkle and smiles to the man beneath.  She calmed him and gave him a safe place to just be himself.  The age gap didn’t matter with these two…they just got each other.

After reading this book, I had to go back to read  Pucked  and Forever Pucked.  I thought it was just to revisit how the Waters family came to be, but I realized it was because I recognized Alex in Maverick.  The questions (is this OK?), the consideration and his actions are just like his father.  It made everything that Maverick went through live up to the title of his book.
