Review: Dax

Dax Dax by Shannyn Leah
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dax may be a bad boy but he's one hell of a man.
This is book one in the Bad Boys of Willow Valley series and it kicks off with a bang, if the rest of the series is even half as good as Dax I'll love them all!
Dax is a mechanic and volunteer firefighter, he's single and vows to stay that way after watching someone close to him lose themselves when they lost the love of their life. Not him, he's a one night at a time, no sleepovers, no seconds and no locals kinda guy. One night with a tourist an then on to the next.
Ava is a school teacher with a daughter. She lives with Rowdy, Dax's dad. He took her in when she was young, pregnant and all alone. After tragic circumstances brought her to Willow Vally and into the care of Rowdy she's slowly built a life for herself and her daughter Olivia, but theres someone in her past that threatens that security.

Dax has flirted with Ava over the years but she keeps everyone at bay, not risking heartbreak and even if she is attracted to him he's the town whore, why on earth would a sigle mom, a school teacher, risk her reputation for one night?
He's slowly breaking her down, she knows it and continues to fight, he on the other hand is confused. He thought he wanted one night with Ava but sometimes things aren't what they seem.
Tragedy strikes leaving Dax & Ava shaken and lost, but it brings them closer together.
Can the sweet little school teacher be what the bad boy needs, and can that bad boy be a one woman man?
Secrets, painful pasts and even friends seem to be working against them, when the time to make a decision comes will it be the right one for all involved?

Dax and Ava are so good together, the chemistry is off the charts. Even though he was a slut I loved him early on, he loved his family and friends so I knew there was more to the man than what people thought about him. Their story is well paced and kept me turning the pages, I had to get to the end, I needed to know how it ended so I read this one in one day.
The secondary characters were pretty great too, Stone I can't wait for his story, Hawk eh I may be able to live without him for a bit lol!
