THE GOOD SAMARITAN
by RC BOLDT

The biggest story of her life is the one he wants to hide.

I’m homeless by choice.

I have no intention of returning to my former life after what I’ve done.

This—living among the filth and discarded remnants of others—is what I deserve.

As atonement for my sins, I give back; I help those who cannot help themselves. But it’s always under the guise of anonymity.

Newspaper headlines throughout the city are clamoring to discover my identity. Including the beautiful woman who manages to see through my “armor.”

She has the capability to put my entire life at risk.

"How a stranger's touch can elicit comfort is puzzling to me."

Ahhh, yes!! This book hit the spot! I love when I can read a book, have no idea what's going on, but be completely stuck and can't pull myself away because the story is sooo intriguing. And that's what this one was for me. I have read most of RC's books (all besides her Teach Me series), and each one has something different to offer. It was the same with this one! OMGosh...I just really enjoyed this one. This is completely spoiler-free, including primary/secondary character info and I think you need to go into this book with as little info as possible. It made the revelations that much more meaningful. I smiled when things started to be put into place.

I think one of my favorite parts about this book was that there was an air of mystery surrounding "HIM" and what was going on with him, but the book moved. It flowed. It kept going, and little by little, it revealed some answers just in time to keep me holding on. In the beginning, I was almost a little nervous because I thought it was going to be otherworldly at first. Not that I am against that, it was just that I was a little confused. I didn't understand how he could move in the manner he was, but once I got farther in and got some more 'intel', I was able to continue on with the knowledge as to why/how things were happening - HUGE GRIN TOO!! But to say I was confused, that's definitely an understatement, so don't stop and just keep going! I'm just glad the story was as active as it was because that's what kept me pinned to it. I read this one fairly quickly (shocker!!) and didn't want to put it down. I *really* liked it, a lot. I smiled through most of the book and even leaked a little from my eyeballs a tad....which, I don't think RC has ever made me tear up. This one got me right in the gut for a moment. Once I found out "HIS" backstory, it was pretty sad....not gonna lie, but once it was made real and I had to really deal with it, that's when it became pretty harsh for me. I loved the way she wrote that part out because the uncovering of the truth about everything was eye opening and just made the reality of his situation that much more tenebrous. So very sad. 

All in all, the feel good nature of this book was the kind that kept my mind busy, my heart beating and my smiles aplenty. It was definitely a story shrouded in mystery, but the discovery was very rewarding so as not to be too heavy or woeful. The social impact, the learning capacity of this book, is actually a pretty important one and the way she told it made me see that it was content rich and fluff less - which I appreciated very much. It was almost as if the romance was an added bonus because the secrecy was so prominent in this story, but not overwhelming so we got to fall in love naturally and quite easily. I just really liked how this one unfolded!! SO good!

And no worries....for as heavy as it was, we still got some of RC's signature giggle-worthy moments at just the right times.
