Hell Yeah! #33
A Helluva Man
How do you determine the measure of a man? By his power, his money, his physical appearance? All his life, Jaxson McCoy measured his worth in the strength of his body and the sweat of his brow. He falls for a woman who is his equal, an Olympic athlete whose mind is as agile as her body.
Their perfect world is torn apart when a tragic accident leaves Jaxson less than whole. He pushes everyone away, including the woman who worships the ground he walks on. Tamara knows he stands tall, whether he is on one leg or two, but she gets no chance to prove her devotion before he builds a wall between them too high for her to climb.
Time has a way of healing wounds and Jaxson’s are no exception, but when he attempts to build a bridge to Tamara, he discovers she has suffered her own loss, her life shattered by a blow she sees no hope of overcoming.
For these two people to heal one another, they will have to redefine their definition of perfect, because Tamara is quite a lady and Jaxson is a helluva man.

I will say that I thought Jaxson's injury and reaction afterward was handled well and realistically. As was Tamara's. I enjoyed how, through discovering hers and wanting to be a part of her life afterward, he got a taste of his own medicine, so to speak, in how she, and his family, felt when he pushed them all away and treated them like crap after his. He got to see their perspective to such a tragic situation. Tamara's struggle and feelings regarding how deeply her life had changed and the possibly permanent outlook because of it was heartbreaking.
I could, however, have done without the references to how easily Jaxson could get laid, and has, him checking out two co-eds literally within minutes, seconds?, of seeing Tamara and the numerous mental thoughts regarding how completely different she was from his usual type, and it wasn't in her favor right away. That being said, it didn't take long for him to adore those differences and it was all because it was her. Also, I LOVE that he was celibate the whole time they were apart. He didn't want anyone else, he didn't try to get with anyone else, and he never thought of getting or trying with anyone else. So flipping refreshing. If it wasn't for the way too many references to his sexual history this would've easily been a four star read for me.

"A Helluva Man" by Sable Hunter and Ryan O'Leary is part of the Hell Yeah! series, and it is a fantastic read. Jaxson McCoy has always been a strong, independent, and sometimes stubborn man who finds himself in a position that makes him feel like he will never be that man again. He feels like he has no choice but to push away the one woman that holds the power to hurt him, Tamara Grayson, an Olympic athlete and his equal in every way. When the unspeakable happens to Tamara her only thought is to not let Jaxson know, he didn't want her as a whole person so there was no way he would want her now, but fate has other plans for these two and that's all I am going to say about that.
This book is all about love, romance, passion, family and friends, some friends that made me want to reach through my Kindle and strangle them. As you can see it has all the feels, it made me laugh, cry and then smile. Jaxson is indeed one helluva man that just needed some time to find his way.
Five "for true" stars for this one!!

Another great story by Sable Hunter.
I choose to read this story since it was part of the Hell Yeah series.
In this story, I got to learn about Jaxson McCoy.
I also learned how he was before his accident.
After the accident hit home with me.
I work in a specialist office that does amputations.
Everyday we take care of just the amputation.
These patients are the strongest people I have the pleasure of working with.
They also set up a support group.
I grew up with several learning disabilities. As an adult, I began having problems with my health. Some of it has affected how my brain functions.
I was able to relate to Tamera Grayson's character.
I went from a quick thinking individual, to an individual who has to think things out to process.
As always with Sablec Hunters stories, I love how she incorporates everyday struggles people go through daily. Each character has gone through a personal struggle and overcome adversity.

"A Helluva Man" (Hell Yeah! Series) by Sable Hunter and Ryan O'Leary is a fantastic read! I absolutely loved Jaxson and Tamara's story. This is a wonderful addition to this series, packed with family, friends, entertaining characters, romance, passion, hot cowboys, overcoming tragic events, second chances, and more. I loved catching up with all my favorites from the other Hell Yeah! Series stories. I can't wait to read what happens next! Highly recommend to all fans of romance, passion, cowboys, family, and series.

I loved this book. The story is well written. This is one of the reasons Sable Hunter is one of my go to authors, she gives me a great story every time. Jax and Tamara have their share of problems and they work to overcome them. Since I don't do spoilers that's all I will tell you. I will tell you this book is worth your time and effort. The barbecue joint that shows up in the book is real and let me tell you the food is just as good as it is portrayed in the book. Go get this book it is awesome!!!!! A must read!!!

Oh Man-Such a roller coaster of emotions
As a reader of all thing Hell Yeah from Sable Hunter I love how there is an overlap of these stories. You can read it as a stand alone but by reading all of the Hell Yeah books you get glimpses of your favorite charters past and present.
The story between Jaxson and Tamara took time and was a complete story.
Half way through their story I couldn't stop the tears from falling. Heart aren't hung sobs.
I absolutely love this book. 5 stars

Love Sables books and the way she writes you feel like your there and seeing it all through your eyes. Waited a time to read Jaxson and Tamaras story. It was well worth the wait. The trials and over coming hurdles leaves you crying, joyful, and cheering as you read their story. Love overcomes any battle. Highly recommend this book and you'll be hooked and reading all her books.

Sometimes it takes the difficulties in life to make someone appreciate what they really had. This is a wonderful story about overcoming obstacles or challenges in life and doing whatever it takes to make a better life for yourself. Jaxson McCoy is a hardworking, ranching man just looking for a good woman. He finds that in Olympic gold medalist Tamara Grayson. A chance meeting leads to some steamy romance.

What is a man?
Although Jaxson is not military, he faces a future with an altered life. Watching him grow, overcome, and help others is a great read. Tamara also has obstacles to overcome. Sable tells a wonderful story of two flawed people 're-finding each other, beauty in the soul, and forgiveness of themselves. I definitely plan to treat myself to this book again.

Once again I was not disappointed. Sable Hunter's Hell Yeah series is a great read. Each can be read alone but you don't really want to miss out on any of the McCoy clan. Tamara and Jaxson go through some difficult times and my emotions were all over the place. I loved this story and the willpower it took to overcome the obstacles that life threw at them.

Heartbreaking love
As usual, I laughed and cried. I would recommend all of Sable Hunter's Hell Yeah series, and Jaxson and Tamara didn't disappoint. These two faced tragedy after tragedy and found their way back to each other. It was heartbreaking and heart fulfilling all at the same time.

Two beautiful people, accomplished and full of life, both find unexpected challenges when their lives are changed completely. Jaxson and Tamara find each other, lose each other twice and work to stay together in the end. It's no accident that they find each other and themselves by helping others.

I’m so over books where the best friend is a woman secretly in love with the main man and causes drama.
The book was ok. I have 2 more to go and I’m done with the books I want to read

True Hunter style
Engrossing, engaging, heart stopping, amazing story of triumph winning over adversity. Jax and Tamaras story is a real heart wrenching, amazing story. Grit and determination, facing their own issues, finding each other again and over coming their challenges - loved it. Ms Hunter along with Mr Oleary has a way of writing imperfect characters that are real and you want to be their friend, encourage them on. Love the series, love this installment, cannot wait for the next book...
