All Guts, No Glory #5
Jayson
Not yet published
Expected 19 Feb 26This grumpy, single dad isn’t prepared for his new neighbor’s sunshine. Or her secret.
Single father Jayson Knight fully expects to die in his recliner, a grumpy, lonely, old man. Ever since his daughter moved out, the house has felt too empty, and he doesn’t know what to do with himself. Unsure how to get back into the dating scene, he figures his options are limited, so why bother?
Until his new neighbor comes gliding into his life like a breath of fresh air, flashing her sunny smile and sweeping away the gloom.
Sabrina Ross is more than merely curious about the silver fox next door. She’s an undercover FBI agent sent to discover if the former Army Ranger and his friends are responsible for murdering a mafia kingpin.
Despite their immediate, all-consuming attraction, Sabrina has a job to do. But she quickly discovers everything is not so cut and dried. And her empty-nester neighbor is harboring secrets better left buried.
When Jayson’s daughter is kidnapped, Sabrina chooses to help the distraught father and jumps into danger. But then the tables turn, and she suddenly finds herself in the crosshairs.
Now Sabrina is trapped in a mobster’s lair, and time is running out fast. With the Motley Crew at his side, Jayson will stop at nothing to get Sabrina back…because losing the woman he can’t live without isn’t an option.
**Each book in the All Guts, No Glory series can be read as a standalone. Expect action, plenty of silver fox heroes, mature heroines and an HEA.

Silver fox alert! Jayson has always just been a single dad, but now he's an empty nester. Boring, old and grumpy is not how he thought his life would go.
His new neighbor Sabrina is not who he thinks she is. She is there to get the facts.
But the fact is it's love at first sight.
So much action and romance in thus book. You'll love it!

Oh. My. God!!!! Charissa Gracyk, what the heck are you doing to me!!!!!! I’m
an absolute mess. My emotions are all over the place and I have THE BIGGEST book hangover EVER!!!!!
This book is officially my favourite in this series!! So beautiful and compelling. So addictive!! This book really shows you just how a man, who is worthy of love, should treat a woman.
Just to warn you guys, you will be bombarded with so many emotions it’ll knock you on your backside and leave you breathless. This book should come with heart warnings because mine has been through the shredder with this wonderful and completely unforgettable rollercoaster ride.
Jayson. Sigh……… this man is so special, so utterly wonderful I would have reached through the pages of the book and pinched him for myself if I could have. This sweetheart of a man is the epitome of everything us women dream about. He is, in my opinion, the perfect man.
He’s a protector at heart, raising is daughter alone he had to have been, but this man takes it a step further in becoming everything a woman could want. He’s sweet, grumpy, open and easy to laugh, he’s not afraid to jump into action to save those he cares for. He’d do anything for anyone if asked. He’s absolutely delicious!!!
I love watching him interact and work alongside his found family. The guys have a true and steadfast bond and work with perfect synchronicity when on a mission. It’s breathtaking to watch!!
Sabrina is a beautiful character, inside and out. She’s strong and independent and has a backbone of steel. I love her ability for compassion and trying her dammdest to jump in and help without a second thought.
I loved the instant attention she felt for Jayson. And her honesty when confronted. She went the extra mile to help, using everything in her arsenal and I found her awe inspiring.
Watching Jayson and Sabrina traverse their path was heart achingly beautiful. A true love story with just the right amount of action, suspense, family and found family thrown in to make it absolutely perfect.
I have read this book twice and am tempted to read it again just to ensure I have soaked up all the goodness this amazing book has to offer.
I cannot recommend Charissa Gracyk or her books enough. She has truly knocked it out of the stratosphere with this phenomenal read.

The silver fox single dad, Jayson, and the sexy neighbor Sabina are the couple in the latest book in Gracyk's All Guts, No Glory series. The action scenes in the book are just as hot as the steamy smexy scenes! Helicopters, kidnappings, revengeful villains, and a baking scene that makes me want cake are just a few scenes living rent free in my head. All of the romance and action movie vibes that Gracyk has perfected in her books.
I also love that the single dad has a grown daughter, not a teenager or young child. While I do enjoy reading single dad romance tropes, it is refreshing that Emma is a grown woman with a positive relationship with Jayson. Adult child and parent relations are often written as background information, sometimes as a contentious relationship, and often seen through only the eyes of the adult child. Gracyk allows the reader to see it through the parent's eyes.
Can't wait for Xander Hawke's book! The ex-CIA is gonna be hot!

Book five leads us to single dad Jayson! Now that Jayson has raised his daughter and she’s a grown woman, Jayson is in a rut of sorts and in his mind acting like an old man. He’d like to date, but puts it off to spring. Meanwhile the FBI agent next door, sent there to gather intel on the Motley Crew is a distraction. But, one thing leads to another!
This book is best read after the others in the series for full enjoyment.
Fast paced and spicy, this will keep you turning pages!
