Traced: Bryton & Roya
My life has not been easy, stolen from my family at birth, left to fend for myself by the woman who took me. When I met the man of my dreams, I thought I would finally have someone to call mine, someone to really love me.
Turns out, he didn't want to be a father to the baby we made together, so he walked away from us like we were nothing to him. F**k him. That's the thought I planted in my own head, F**k him!
My baby is my life. But his short life hasn't been easy. Born prematurely, struck down with cancer, operation after operation to save him followed. And no one will ever know the lengths I went to in order to save him.
When my son is finally given the all clear, we move to the small town of Oak Springs. A place for both my son and I to finally settle down. A place my real family lives. I can't approach them, though. Not until the time is right.
I wasn't banking on bumping into the one man I have searched for since my son was born. His father. Bryton Sawyer.
Roya Nixon was the only girl who ever got me, the one woman I could see myself loving for all eternity. She was the woman I should have married. But what did I do? I walked away from her the second she told me she was pregnant. Correction, I gave her money to end the pregnancy, then I walked away.
I always thought she'd gone through with it and moved on with her life. Little did I know, until the day I literally bump into my young son, that she lied to me. She kept my son from me for four long years! I didn't even know he'd suffered so much in his short life.
But there is one thing I do know, now that I know him, now that she's back in my life, I will not let them go. I don't care what I have to do. That girl is mine!

This book is the fourth book in the oak springs series. It is the first book in this series and first book of this authors that I have read. I enjoyed the story but I needed more. I felt like the story was so fast paced that it missed chunks of story. I instantly liked Roya and Jaxson. I liked how close they were and that they had finally settled in a nice place. I was even happy when Jaxson met his father for the first time. What/who I didn’t like for near the whole book was Bryton. He told Roya to have an abortion and walked away. He then had the audacity to be angry that Roya had kept his son away from him for four years! I was truly frustrated. I wanted to punch Bryton. He was a douche canoe when he was first introduced. I will reluctantly admit that he stepped up and was a part of his son’s life as soon as he met him.
When Roya found her parents I was shouting at my kindle that there were not enough pages! I NEEDED more pages! I liked that Roya found her family. My heart hurt for them and all they had been through. I liked that she was instantly accepted and got the love she never had. When Roya’s abductor returned with another child, Roya selflessly stepped in to help little Seb.
I was satisfied with the ending for this book and found it sweet, although the hero grew on me, I still think he is a douche canoe.

I really liked this one - one of the things I liked most is that the writer had to make us like Bryton, because most of us wanted/or will want to throat punch him in the beginning. He really comes of as a total loser, especially his inner thoughts before reconnecting with Roya (love the name). I enjoyed the relationship Roya had with Jaxson.
A couple of things I didn't care for - there were still some editing issues, but they didn't take me out of the story. Also, I thought we would see more of the landlord that went above and beyond in the beginning.
Overall I enjoyed this series.

***********Spoiler Alert********
Bryton
Chapter three
There's not much in the way of hot women in this town, it seems everyone is either taken or a slut who goes out of town to sleep with any man they can open their legs for.
Roya
Epilogue 14 months later
"Bryton opened his own gym here in town, and he is always swamped with members. A lot of the women in town always request him as their personal trainer. Not that I get jealous, he's my man and nothing will ever change that."
Aside from the book being packed with event after tumultuous event,I would have preferred it to have ended with the hero's thoughts instead of the heroine's considering the town he believes he lives in and the women that reside there.
I'm still unsure why an owner of a gym would be the personal trainer as well and why all these women are flocking for his services according to his not so jealous wife.The hero is 25 years old and the heroine is 23.The book is well-written,has no cheating,no sex scenes with ow and zero ow drama and is part of a series of well written novels with different couples at the helm.
