The men of Redemption Road are back with HOLLYWOOD and Tex. We get to see why Tex ran in this bi awakening second chance romance. If you love friends to lovers, single dad's, forced proximity, redemption arc's, found family, and a lot of pining, this is absolutely the book for you! Please read it, you won't regret it.
From the blurb:
When my ex-girlfriend, Carrie, is injured in an accident, I take sole custody of my two-year-old daughter overnight. I've wanted to be Ruby's father for a long time, but my ex--and her family--haven't forgiven me for my past mistakes.
This is my chance to get to know Ruby and prove that I've changed. I leap at the chance, even though I've got no idea what I'm doing.
Thankfully, my former best friend Tex shows up and sticks by me. He's a natural with kids and instantly calms the panic setting in. One night of support turns into another and another. Bit by bit, Tex is moving into my life and making himself a second father to Ruby.
But he's bailed on me before. Three months ago, he ran from the feelings growing between us.
Now he's here, plucking all of my heartstrings and making me love him all over again. Ruby is head over heels, too. He's everything I want in a partner. For me. For my daughter.
But will Tex return the love this time--or will he break both our hearts?
Molly Otto's review:
Tex ran back home to help his sister and get away when things got complicated with Redemption Road. But when Hollywood needs him, he come back no hesitation. When Hollywoods ex is hurt he steps up and is given the chance to be with his daughter for the first time since her birth and his subsequent incarceration. The boys pf Redemption Road as they do step up and help him figure out this new stage in life including Tex the man who ran when things got complicated. These two may take a minute to figure their way but when they do they make a beautiful little family raising Ruby and showing their ready for this next stage. Loved seeing these men all step up and show what a great found family they are. With seeing more of Joyrides backstory and what hes going through I am on my toes waiting for his story its bound to be an emotional ride for sure!
Katriana Prey's review:
When I tell you this book CONSUMED me, I am not lying or exaggerating. I started this book this morning and finished within 2 hours, I just couldn't put it down. Ever since I read Knight's story, I was extremely curious about what was going on between Hollywood and Tex, cause there were definitely some vibes I was picking up on between those two. And in this book, I finally got to learn what was going on!
A whole lotta pining and angst, that's what! But there's also so much more than that too, there's so much love, compassion, found family goodness, and an eye-watering amount of support. This story is extremely beautiful, I loved the found family aspect that came into play in Knight's book, and it just went above and beyond that in this one. The way they all stepped up to help out Tex and Holly, made me emotional, it was just so beautiful to see how they all tried to support and uplift one another.
And I can't write this review without talking about Roo, aka, Ruby, Holly's daughter. The way in which he was able to spend time with his daughter wasn't the greatest of circumstances, but I'm so glad he was able to get that time with her and actually be the dad to her he always wanted to be. Reading about him and Ruby figuring out how to raise her together while also figuring out their feelings for each other was honestly so enjoyable. DJ did a SPECTACULAR job with this book and these characters, and this book just made me even more excited for Joy's book. Although, I fear that one has the potential to make me cry..but I'm here for it anyways!
All in all, an absolutely terrific book!!

Second in series (Redemption Road), more fun if read in order. Best friends to lovers. Single dad. Found family. Dual POV.

Tex ran from Hollywood months ago, but now when Hollywood needs him he’s returned to town. Now as they share a house, and they’re both caring for Hollywood’s daughter, they embrace the chance to be together as Tex promises to stay this time.
Tex’s yearning and desperation to commit and stay with Hollywood was swoony for sure as he becomes Hollywood’s rock. But even Tex needs support, and Hollywood steps up alongside their found family. I was glad to see Hollywood hesitate at times trying to protect himself, but that Tex continues to show his desire to be with Hollywood. I appreciated that both Hollywood and Tex struggle with recovering from past mistakes, but that there were people willing to forgive and those that were staunchly at their sides. A sweet romance with a cute little girl and two men that fight for what they deserve.

Heather's review:
I absolutely love this story and the way Hollywood just jumps back into Tex's life when he's needed the most... the way these two lean on each other and move from best friends to lovers amidst the chaos of learning to parent, dealing with toxic family and finding their places together was just all consuming - from pining and pain to such joy and this series continues to embrace the supportive nature of found family...
Best read in order, but can be read standalone... make sure you carve out uninterrupted time before starting this one, because you won't want to put it down.
