Simple Man
By Lydia Michaels

Blurb:
Months after Shane Martin’s sister vanishes, life crashes down and he finds himself the guardian of a nephew he never knew existed. Blissfully ignorant, Shane trades in his musician status, full of late nights and fast women, for midnight feedings and lullabies. But when Kate McAlister, his prissy, stuck up caseworker, arrives unexpectedly, he realizes he could lose everything.

Kate isn’t impressed by Shane’s messy bachelor pad, rocker image, or sexy tattoos. As a matter of fact she finds it all very sophomoric. The sooner she’s off the case the better. Everything from his long hair to his sarcastic attitude threatens her professionalism. But when he lowers his guard and asks for help, she discovers a side to this tattooed musician she can’t resist. Behind this simple man is an unsung hero.

Beverly’s Review:
Simple Man had me laughing so hard I almost wet myself! Then later had me bawling like a baby. Simple man sucked you in so that you felt you were experiencing all of Shane’s emotions. I couldn’t put it down. The transformation of Shane and his life were engrossing. Despite his hardships that he faced, Shane never gave up, even when his life spiraled out of his control.

Following Shane and his growth was wonderful. His tale followed a natural progression, making me root for his success. Kate was just as enjoyable. The two brought out the best and sometimes the worst in each other. They complemented each other so well. I can’t say enough about how good this book was.

Shane was just a simple man. He wanted a family, someone to love and to love him.
