Title: Nasty Bastard
Series: Grim Bastards MC
Authors: Emily Minton & Shelley Springfield
Genre: MC Romance
She's the daughter of a club traitor, trying to start over.
Daughter of the man that betrayed the Grim Bastards, Gidget Etheridge doesn’t want anything to do with the club.
She grew up being ignored by her father, but found solace in the arms of the boy she loved.
Everything changed the day he turned his back on her.
When she and her son are rescued by Smoke, she has to decide if the boy who broke her heart is worth a second chance.
He's a bastard, living life by his own rules.
Vice President Smoke Roundtree grew up knowing he would be a Grim Bastard, just like his father and grandfather.
When he became a prospect, he made a choice between the club and the girl he loved.
Even all these years later, he still wonders if he made the right decision.
When he saves Gidget and her son, he finally has a chance to fix the mistakes of his past.
Can a bastard heal the heart he shattered thirteen years ago?
We are just stepping into the yard when my phone rings. I pick up my phone and see Smoke’s name on the screen. My anger at Round’s confession comes back full force as I put it to my ear.
“Hello,” I say, unable to hide my fury.
“What the hell is going on, Gidget? What’s the matter? Are you and Parker okay?” he asks, his voice hard.
He throws the questions at me so quick, it almost makes my head spin. “Nothing’s wrong. Why do you ask?”
“Don’t fucking lie to me, Gidget. Hack just called and said Dad was walking you and Parker out of the clubhouse.”
My anger retreats when I realize he was worried about us. Richard never worried about us, never even asked how our day went. Smoke, on the other hand, is checking in from the road. As irritating as it is, it’s always sweet as hell.
Pulling in a deep breath, I explain what we’re doing. He asks a million questions, making sure Parker and I have everything we need. Each thing he says has my heart warming toward him. I have to remind myself that he’s the one who broke it all those years ago. Still, watching my son play with Round, I realize he did me a favor. Maybe I’ll do him a favor and forgive him when he gets back, but not before we have a long talk.
“Fine, don’t stay out there too long. I’ll give you ten minutes to get your ass back in bed. If not, I’ll be calling my dad to make sure you get there,” he’s warns, ending our conversation without even a goodbye.
Before I even put it away, it’s ringing again. I see Smoke’s name again and bring it back to my ear. “Hello.”
“Tell Dad there’re some balls around back in the shed. He can pull them out for Parker.” With that, he hangs up, not bothering to say goodbye again.
For some reason, my lips are tipping up as I slide my phone into my pocket.

Review:
I received an advanced readers copy of the story from the authors in exchange for my honest review.
This story is the fourth book in the Grim Bastards MC Series. I have read every book in this series, and absolutely love it! However this book you could easily read as a standalone, without reading any other of the books in the series. The authors lay everything out that you don't feel like you are missing anything.
This story is about Smoke, the club's VP who we've meet in past books. He is a brooding alpha hunk of a man who has been living in regret for the last 13 years. He had the love of his life when he was only 18 years old. Gidget was the daughter of a club remember , but Smoke thought she deserved something better than being his old lady so to give her a better future he broke up with her in a horribly cruel way right after they had sex for the first time (her losing her virginity!). Fast forward 13 years, and Gidget's Father and brother are now out of the MC (They were traitors to the club and may or may not be 6 feet under). Gidget's life for the last 13 years has been good, but not great. The best things about it was her son. She is now divorced from her husband and is moving back to take possession of her childhood home. She is nervous about being back her, especially being back close to Smoke. These two are the epitome of two people who should be together. Smoke realizes that he could never walk away from Gidget again, once was hard enough. Now that she's back, and being threaten by a maniac he will never let her go and will protect her and her son. This story is dark and twisted, we see a lot of physical and emotional pain along the way to finding their way back to each other. I loved this story, just like the other ones in this series.
4.5 Stars
