Description
Max Marcowitz killed his first man when he was eight. After failing in foster care, Max and Rosco were sent to the state boys home. Years later, they escaped and vanished into the streets. A natural con artist, Max did whatever was necessary to support himself and Rosco. Now 36, notorious, charming, and semi-retired, Max meets Anne, who sees in him a goodness no one has before.
Badly mismatched, the chemistry between Max and Anne sizzles. But when Anne's life is threatened, Max makes a choice out of love that all but destroys the hope of having a life together.

The author wrote a great book about how a lawyer, Anne, is thrown into a forbidden romance with a notorious murderer, Max, when she is completing community service at a soup kitchen. Yes, this story of "good girl, guy with a criminal record" has been told many times, but the author makes this dynamic seem fresh and unique. I enjoyed this one, but there is one part that will make you cry.

New Oklahoma lawyer, Anne Krease is sentenced to eight weeks of community service. Two nights a week, she is helping in a homeless shelter soup kitchen on Jingo Street(skid row). Rosco, a gentle giant, who works there, becomes her protector. She meets Rosco's brother, Max Margo, a hardened underground enforcer. Told from others to stay away from him, but it's too late. They share an intense love connection, but Max sacrifices himself and ends up on death row.
What an emotional rollercoaster! Sad, forbidden romance. Good vs. Evil. This book tugged at my heart. In the story there were some humerous and laugh out loud fun! You were just there with them. I could picture all of them in the soup kitchen.
Thank you publisher, and NetGalley for the eARC
