Son #1

Wesley

Rate this book
Yeah, I don’t trust them.

Who are they? The family who takes me in after they catch me making a rare mistake. They offer me a deal that allows me to make amends while staying with them and working. I’ve never had a permanent home and I’d long since run away from the foster care system after my last “home” had someone using my back for a cigarette tray. My means of supporting myself? Whatever necessary. That includes anything and everything I needed to do to survive. That’s all my life has been about anyway: survival. And you know what? I’ve done just that. Survived. And thrived while doing so.

Then this strange family decides to rescue me. Though not for a moment do I need rescuing. I’ve made my life something interesting and important while remaining independent. I’m neither homeless, nor a criminal. I’ll do my penance in this small town of Silver Springs, but nothing will make me lose sight of the life waiting for me on the road.

I don’t trust their motives for a second and I’m ready at any moment for it to go wrong.

Nothing is going to make me believe in them. Even as I meet Dani Dawson, who is a waitress in the café where I work and is dating the son of the family I’m staying with. She tries to show me a softer side to life. Still, I know that nothing lasts: not food, shelter, parents, friends, brothers, families, and certainly not love. Especially if you’re relying on others for it. I rely on no one but myself. Always have and always will. No matter what. So, I’m ready for it all to go to crap, but until then? Joke’s on all of them and I’ll take advantage of it until the very last moment.

The Sister Series is an epic, multi-family, multi-generational saga that spans sixty years, with overlapping family entanglements, tragedies, triumphs and romance.
It touches on the emotional scars and battles that are often hidden in people.
Rape. Drugs. Abuse. Violence. Pain. Betrayal.
And how they can be overcome.
Joy. Family. Forgiveness. Faith. Hope. Redemption…
Love.
So, buckle in for this 19 book saga that will both break and heal your heart.

Raw. Real. Emotional Romance. Writing provocative and darker themed romance that always finds its happily ever after!

With 50 plus, full length books there is a story for everyone!
Cowboy romance? Got it! Small town... yep. Big city rock star? Covered! You like a little suspense? Yep, got a few of those too.

Most of my books are standalone stories in connected series. Whether it's the setting, theme or family connections, my series are often multi-generational and span decades. While each book is a complete story, beloved characters will pop in and out of these sagas. I stick to new adult, contemporary and western romances, with tons of emotion and all the feels tucked into them.

I live in the rainy area of Western Washington, and spend as much time as I can traveling to destinations all across the state, where I do all things outdoors.
Many of these locations become the settings for my books.

I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book through Hidden Gems Books.

I usually read romantic suspense, but I was quickly drawn in to Wesley's story. It was wonderfully written and I had a hard time putting his story down.

It's a perfect coming of age novel about a young man who's run his entire life and one mistake lands him with a family that shows him what trust, love, and acceptance is all about.

I plan on reading more of her books, especially the rest of the "Son" series.

Sometimes being wrong is such a good thing!

I volunteered to read an ARC of 'Wesley' several weeks ago in conjunction with a blog tour. Then I had a meltdown that I’d committed myself to reading a whiney, juvenile, coming of age story.

THE HORROR!

But, I cleared an afternoon and sat down with this read… and didn’t stop reading until I finished it!

It’s not just a solid, captivating read, but it’s intelligent, insightful, snarky… and heartbreaking.

Wesley No-Last-Name considers himself a traveler—living life on his own terms on the road, doing odd jobs here and there to get by. He’s actually a foster kid who’s found life off the grid freer and safer than being continuously victimized by the system meant to protect him.

Wesley isn’t a druggie, criminal-type, but to help a friend in need, he crosses a line and subsequently gets caught. Expecting to be arrested and jailed—something the claustrophobic Wesley dreads—he receives a different punishment to atone for his misstep… he becomes part of a family.

Wesley’s POV was difficult to read. He’s never known true kindness and concern, or even minimal consideration. The concept of family is nonexistent to him and he believes those who believe in it are clueless how the real world works. Though he is treated well, Wesley is always waiting for the other shoe to drop and for the humiliation, neglect, and cruelty to arrive.

But that will not happen with Tara Kincaid around.

The café-owner, seeing a lot of her past in Wesley, knows there’s more to him than what he allows others to see and convinces her fish and game enforcement officer-hubby to take a chance on the young man who only shares his first name… nothing else.

College-age son, Wyatt, is not so accepting or welcoming and shows it every chance he gets. (For some reason, this guy reminded me of good old Dawson Leery from Dawson’s Creek, with his 'why is the world conspiring to ruin my perfect existence'-attitude.)

Much more accepting is Wyatt’s girlfriend, Dani. She comes to realize Wesley is hiding from… and lying... to himself. She also wonders why she’s more preoccupied with thoughts of him instead of Wyatt.

It’s obvious Tara knows—or hopes—Wesley’s short time with her family will give him pause to change his traveler ways, but I believe none of them were prepared for the changes in themselves.

Besides foster care, Wesley deals with child abuse, sexual molestation, domestic violence, and race… all without being heavy-handed, preachy or beating the reader up. Wesley’s mature content is intended for an adult audience. It’s also a diverse read that doesn’t put its diversity on parade. It’s simply about people living with and relating to each other and proving family is determined by more than blood.

I have no problem admitting I was wrong in prejudging 'Wesley' and recommend it to all readers interested in a compelling story full of complex characters. I hit the preorder button before I finished Wesley’s story… and I preordered book two—Wyatt.

Don’t fall behind, download this one today!

Enjoy!

Wesley is a young man on the run after he stole money from a lady collecting for a charity. Yet he ends up in a barn belonging to Tara and Ryder Kincaid where he is caught by Tara and Dani Dawson. Tara recognizes herself in Wesley and makes him a deal to earn back the money he stole and earn some extra for when he leaves town again.

Dani Dawson is dating Tara and Ryder's son Wyatt and is extremely close to the family but there is something about Wesley that intrigues her. But she knows that Wesley will be leaving town the moment he can so is Dani ready to dig deeper?

Can Dani teach Wesley the value of "family" and that there are genuinely good people out there before he decides to leave again?

This is another great story by the author with lots of twists and turns and interesting issues for the characters.

Wesley was super interesting as he didn't consider himself to be homeless yet he traveled where he wanted and lived where he needed to and worked when he had to in order to earn extra money. He never stole until he had to get the money to someone asap and he knew it was important. Wesley never had an easy time growing up and I am shocked by the things he went through as a child. The things he experienced were horrific and I hate hearing stories like this, made up or not. From that I really understood why he was reluctant to get close to the Kincaid family but gradually they were able to break down his walls.

Dani was interesting as she was going through her own issues with Wyatt when Wesley came into their lives. Dani knew that she loved Wyatt but that something was missing but had to figure it out on her own and she was also torn due to the past they shared.

I loved how Tara took Wesley in and how she really made Ryder open up as well and realize the good that they were doing. I loved how attached they all became, except for Wyatt who initially was so mad at the situation. Yet gradually they all watched everyone come together and learn and grow from each other.

I was really looking forward to seeing how everything was going to play out, especially after the camping trip as I knew how both Wesley and Dani felt but they grew up so differently that it made me wonder. I loved how Wyatt put the pieces together and knew what he had to do!

The end made me so happy and I am really looking forward to Wyatt's book next!

Wesley

Wesley is the first in the Son Series. Wesley is a traveller, meaning he moves around a lot. He grew up in foster care and was not treated well by the system - sexual, emotional and physical abuse were all things he dealt with, so he decided to keep himself safe he would travel. Until his friend needs money, he never stole, but he did to help her out. He found a barn to stay in over night to get out of the rain, and was caught by Dani Dawson and then Tara Kincaid. Tara talks Ryder into letting Wesley live with them and earn the money to pay back the charity he stole from with lots of extra, and earn money for himself. Wesley and Wyatt (Tara and Ryder's son who were all in a couple of the sister's books) butted heads from day one. Tara saw herself in Wesley and wanted to help him, and he aided her with her need to mother. Wesley finds himself enjoying learning things from Ryder and Tara and is in awe of this family and the way they act every day. Dani and Wesley have some chemistry but he knows she is dating Wyatt, and the two have their lives mapped out, but do they? This story is heartbreaking in all that Wesley endured and the fact that he thinks no one will ever want him around and that he does not deserve love. Dani is smart beyond her years in how she responds to him. You really need to pick this up to see how much everyone in this changed and grew up. I'd say the biggest changes were in Wyatt and Wesley. I look forward to Wyatt's story next. Once again, Leanne Davis touched on subjects that need attention in a caring and non-controversial way. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. You could read this without reading the sister series, but I believe you will get more out of it knowing the background of Tara and Ryder (just my opinion).

So Wesley has been through the system and it failed him in a horrible way and rather than suffer further abuse he decides to "travel" and along the way he meets folk but friends are few and far between so when Jacey contact him and is in need of money he goes out of his way to help her , his way of getting what she needed was wrong....that's how he ends up in Silver Springs


Wesley steals a charity collection box from an elderly lady #notnicedude# and on the run it starts to rain and he finds shelter in a barn ....which belongs to Ryder and Tara Kinkaid ....Ryder happens to be a local cop 😂😂😂😂

Dani found Wesley hiding out and Tara comes to her aid and when she realizes he's no threat and who he is she comes up with an alternative plan , one that will show him that not all people are vile and a life lesson or 2 . Tara also has compassion and understanding for his situation as she was there herself before ...


Wyatt Kinkaid isn't to pleased to have a house guest and girlfriend Dani is trying hard to fight her developing feelings for Wesley and keep the peace between the boys ....
Despite their differences, its Wyatt that comes through for Wesley when its most needed and I can see a deep bond forming between them 🤗


This book moved me in so many ways but what really touched my heart was the kindness, compassion, goodness gentleness, support and understanding shown to each other 💗

I loved this book ! I loved the Kinkaids !

I'm dying to find out what happens to Wyatt in the next book!

Wesley may be the traveler but Dani is world wise and the patience and gentleness she has with Wesley while she educates and guides him through life and love had me in tears , it was just beautiful 💗

Wesley does what he feels he has to. His story shows that you can’t tell what a person is going through just by looking at them. He gives a voice to those that choose to live life outside of what most consider normal – especially when it comes to young people. Dani can’t believe what she’s seeing. One character that’s important here is Tara. She sees something in people that others don’t. She’s willing to give you a chance in a world where society probably would just give up without lending a helping hand.

This book shows that either the author has a great imagination, knows where Wesley is coming from, or did a lot of research. Wesley is a strong character who will suck the reader in and keep you enthralled until you understand him. This is one reason that all the characters become important. We get to see Wesley go from teenager to young man and he sees that not all people are the same. I like that we get a chance to see how this young man perceives things.

Wyatt is a character that you will wonder about. Why is he acting as he is? What’s his story? I thought this was a great way to start things. As Wesley gets comfortable, that’s when things get revealed but it does make it hard to find the best stopping point. If not for having this book on tour, I may never have discovered this author. This book was totally different from anything that I’ve read in I don’t know how long. So saying this is original would be a true statement. I can’t wait to see what this series is going to reveal next.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

I had a hard time getting into this book. It is different than I normally read. But I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. Such a unique story of a young man who has been through the system and lived to tell about it. Barely. He has scars, both internally as well as external. He doesn't trust anyone. When a friend is desperate for money, he can't let her down. What he chooses to do is rob an old lady collecting money for a charity. Not his best choice. Wesley is a Traveller. He doesn't call anyplace home and spends his time doing odd jobs to keep himself stable. When he chooses a barn to campout in to get out of the rain, he is caught by a pitchfork wielding girl. He is caught and his story starts to come out. The ranch he camped at, owned by Tara and Ryder, is about to become his new home until he can payoff his debt to the charity. Tara understands his story, she's lived it. What he didn't expect was to catch the eye of Dani, girlfriend to Wyatt. Wyatt is Ryder's son and is usually away at college. The looks, casual touches, and great conversations with Dani lead to the beginning of a beautiful friendship, then leads to more. Dani is Wesley's first everything. Although his past is tragic and disturbing, he falls under the spell of Dani and finds a reason to trust people again.
This was my first read from Leanne Davis. It was well written with a lot of thought put into the characters. Thank you Leanne Davis for bringing us Wesley. It ended up being so good I ordered the second book Wyatt.

Ms Davis is a new to me author and I will certainly be reading some more.

Wesley is a young man who was let down by the system. He has become a traveller, living from his trusty backpack and exploring the world. He finds work where he can and is very self sufficient. It is a carefully learned lifestyle that he seems quite content to live. He doesn't have to worry about the normal worries of life, a job he doesn't like because he as bills to pay, etc. But it can certainly be lonely more times than not.

Dani was certain she had her life all figured out, ready to head off to college with her best friend turned boyfriend. A father that loves her more and anything and is always understanding and there for her. Until the interesting traveller finds his way into her town and makes her begin to wonder if she really has it all figured out.

Watching Wesley learn to trust again was emotional. His hidden thoughts that sneak out here and there about liking the interaction with the family that helps him. They take him in and show him what it should be like. As he starts to grow attachments to these people he also has to deal with more feeling he has hidden from his past.

Will the prove to Wesley that it is OK to stay and to get emotionally involved with people? Not all people will hurt you and let you down. Could he finally have found a home and a place he feels he belongs?

I'm new to Leanne Davis' books. I read River's Edge and quickly devoured the rest of the series and then her other books. Wesley is as well written as her others.

Wesley is a Traveler. A Traveler is someone who basically travels instead of having a home. They aren't homeless, like someone living under a viaduct. They just choose to be on their own and live with no ties. Wesley was raised in foster homes and it was a bad situation. He ran away when he was 16. Now everything he owns is packed into a large backpack. But things change when he comes to one small town.

Wesley winds up becoming involved with a family and working at a diner to repay a debt. There, he gets to know Dani. Dani is the antithesis of everthing Wesley knows in his life. But will the way he feels for her be enough to force Wesley to put aside his Traveler ways and put down some roots?

Wesley was not what I expected. I love when an author grabs my attention (okay, my heart) and doesn’t let go. Wesley faces so much in his life that I couldn’t help but feel for him. I cried and I rooted for him. His struggles and turmoil are true to life and even though I could not relate, I wanted so much for him. He finds the stability and love of a family that he doesn’t think he’ll ever want or need in his life. He’s not a troublemaker or into anything that would have you turn your back on him, he’s just a wonderer trying to find his way and survive. I love the family he meets and what they show him. Leanne Davis has become a favorite of mine as she writes stories, we may not be comfortable with but need to be told. I have already added the next stories to my “to be read” shelf and I can’t wait.

I've read River's End Series by Leanne and love it, but Wesley is by far my favorite book by her. The horrible childhood Wesley had left him damaged and afraid to trust anyone. That is, until he finds himself in trouble trying to help a friend who is a fellow traveler. A loving family gives him a place to stay a way to work off the debt he owes without having to go to jail, plus to save some money for himself so when he was ready to leave. They teach him what it's like to be part of a family and to actually feel loved for the very first time in his life. Dani falls for him and he confides in her as he has with no one else, ever. She shows him what it's really liked to be loved and to be able to love and trust someone so deeply.

Time to take a trip to Silver Springs I think! I am absolutely loving this series within a series 😉
Wesley got out of the foster system, and becomes a traveller.. not slumming in cities with other homeless people, but roaming the world, and becoming self sufficient by himself.... until he gets in a little trouble.

Dani is Wyatt’s girlfriend, she’s at the home of the Kincaids a lot, and eventually runs into Wesley who tries to take shelter from the upcoming storm.

I loved everything about this book, and these characters, and I’ll say again that I really like series where the former characters from books are still mentioned in these newer books.
Brilliant writing, brilliant characters, why wouldn’t you wanna read this?!

Finally Home

Wesley, a young man with a troubled past. Part of the foster care system that failed him.
Wyatt, a college football player, and Dani, Wyatts girlfriend and a long time friend of the family.
Wesley was a traveller, going from city to city, working when he needed to, wondered into a barn to get out of the rain. This barn changed his life. Dani enters the barn, to find Wesley asleep in his sleeping bag and calls for Wyatts mom Tara Kincaid. This is where Wesleys new adventure begins.
Leanne Davis is an amazing writer. She captures what it’s like to have a loving family that isn’t your own, showing what true family is to someone who has never experienced it. A great read.

Oh Wesley so misunderstood and so lovable. I wanted to hug you and make your life so much happier. What a beautifully written story with such amazing and charismatic characters I could not stop reading. I wished Wesley could have the happy ever after he so deserved. As for Dani what a beautiful, kind and caring person and perfect to help Wesley. Tara and Ryder were just the ideal couple to steer Wesley in the right direction.

Once again Leanne Davis has shown what a brilliant and talented author she is with this heart rending and emotional story and one I cannot recommend highly enough.

This book was a slow bit of a slow start for me, but boy, once it got going, I could not put it down!

A teen with no family, no home, no ties and lives the life of a "traveler" suddenly finds himself as part of a family, living in a house, working a job and falling in love. And the girl who loves him, who wants him to let her in, who wants him to stay. The family that has taken him and loves him as one of their own.

Can they convince Wesley to stay? Can they show Wesley that they really love him? Can Wesley let his guard down to trust others and let them in? Can Wesley give up his wandering lifestyle?

Author Leanne Davis has written a story that will steal your heart! I've read a few of her books in The Rivers End series and loved them! But thus one right here,,, oh man!!! Wesley will steal your heart! This boy was dealt a crappy hand by the foster care system, treated in such a horrible way that will gut you. But instead of it breaking him, he runs away and becomes a traveler, only to find himself in a sticky situation. Stumbling upon some people who give him a break, he ends up getting the life he never knew he needed!
This book will steal your heart!!! I can't wait to devour the rest of the series!!!

I received an ARC of this novel.

Leanne Davis has created a series that I never want to end! The Sister Series and the Daughter Series captivated me and have stayed with me for years! The latest installment (Wesley, the first in the Son Series) is excellent. I think what I love the most about Ms. Davis' writing is her ability to make me root for characters I didn't think I would care for, much less fall in love with! This book is no exception. I will definitely be waiting anxiously for the Son Series #2, Wyatt!

I absolutely loved the River's End Series and now cannot wait for the next book in the Son Series; Leanne Davis does not disappoint.

Wesley is a traveler (everything he owns is in a backpack) who makes a mistake to help a friend in need. Instead of turning him over to authorities, a family decides to take him into their home and have him work in their diner to repay the debt. During his time in Silver Springs, he finds acceptance, friendships and love. Can it be enough to make him stay?

This was another solid offering from this author! Wesley is a traveler. He has no home, no family or ties to anything. Along the way, he makes friends. One of these friends needs help and this causes him to make a rare mistake. He is then forced to rectify that mistake. The family that takes him in shows him nothing but love and kindness. The progression of this book is hard to read at times but it is so worth reading. While this is a romance, the story of Wesley is the best part to me.

Thank you for the privilege if reading this book! Excellent job ❤️

Westley was a wanderer never staying in one place very long. In a small town, Westley was caught doing wrong. Instead of turning him into the authorities, the Kincaids took him in and allowed him to work to pay for what he had taken. There he met Dani. Westley did not trust the Kincaids because he could not believe someone would give a second chance. I urge you to read Westley by Leanne Davis. It proves how a person can change a bad life into a good life if someone will give them honest care and concern.

I offered to read this book as an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC), and so happy I did. I'm relatively new to reading LeAnne Davis. But once I started, I'm totally committed to this author. I love the depth of her characters; always thought provoking.

I was very surprised at the twist in this book. Wesley as an added character to the series was epic. Davis has a gift of great stories with a compelling and plausible storyline. I wish everyone could see the good in people as she portrays this man. This book to me, was better than most HEAs.

Wesley is foster child who works odd jobs and find life easier on the run better than settling down, safe from victimization. He gets in trouble and his punishment is to become part of the family. As a loner and a foster child, he doesn't know the meaning of true love. Wesley had to deal with a lot of issues, which are domestic violence and sexual molestation, and other issues, but the author does it in good taste. The blinding truth in the book was that family is not just blood relatives, but the ones you form bonds with and care about on a day to day basis. I loved the book.

This is the 3rd book I have read by Leanne Davis and I love of her writing. She has a knack of writing characters who you can't help but like. They may be different but I have liked them all. Wesley was just that. The first chapter had my heart beating! I wanted so much for him to have his chance at a better life although he doesn't seem to bothered by his nomad lifestyle. There's so much beneath the surface of these characters. I adored Tara. Dani proved that you can have everything planned but a chance meeting can change everything. Highly recommend!

Powerful read

Wesley

Wesley and Dani’s story for me was a great twist. I really enjoyed this read. Davis puts a hard light on the life of a foster child’s life as an adult. Wesley was depicted in such a great way to show the trauma that happens to youth and what even happens in the foster system. However, Dani totally takes Wesley and begins to put his broken spirit back together through love. Powerful read!!!

Wesley is the first book in the Sons series.  Once i started, i couldn't put it down.  Wesley had not so good experiences in the foster care system. He left and is now a traveler. He goes where he wants and when he needs something, he works for it. But just once he decides to steal. He gets caught but the family has a different idea instead of turning him in. What a great and loving story. It has its ups and downs but Wesley get a new start at a life he never knew he could have.

Amazing realistic character development

This book was written with passion and emotion and the result is characters that draw you into their lives and problems and you just NEED to see them successful and loved. The back stories detailing childhood abuse while in foster care my be hard to read for some people, but it is written so that characters overcome their past when strangers show love and forgiveness. The sequels are amazing also!

This was an interesting take on a traveller having to pay penance in a small town. He struggles with kindness of family, and I think while smart as a whip, he was often childlike in some needs of a basic human. Love comes in many forms. This book also shows human kindness and not all is as it seems.

I enjoyed the story line, but I didn't enjoy the writing style. Written in a first person style rather than second person, the reader gets a bit more into the head of the characters but this didn't help me like the characters, it made Wesley seem a bit whiney to me and Dani a bit of a know it all saint.

I've been a fan of Leanne Davis since the Sister Series. The Daughter Series was nothing short of amazing, and the Son Series is continuing in the same thread.
No-one captures the beauty of healing human hurts quite like this author.
You will laugh, you will cry, you will cheer, and you will cry some more.
