Just Joe Book

I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much I enjoyed this older Silhouette Desire. I certainly wasn’t expecting a sweet hero with a well-developed plot and a slow-building friendship that became a slow-burn romance.

By accident, literally, professionally quarterback Joe Ryan met Mattie Grey. He sensed immediately she was in stress. Long story short, Just Joe tackled the sensitive subject of physical abuse. Both heart wrenching and heart warming, Joe was the mover and shaker with the development of this romance.

Side note: Ms. Morgan only wrote two romances as far as I am know. Though the two books are not listed as a duo, No Holds Barred is the first story. It is about Joe’s close friend (now husband and wife in Just Joe) and the turmoil he goes through to find true love.
