*This book is #2 in the 'Bama Boys series. While it can be read as a standalone, it is a continuation of book #1 and is meant to be read after Forever Red.*
Putting others needs before his own was all Mike Carson had ever done.
First, it was the friends he loved more than family. Then it was his country. By nineteen, he was a father, a husband and fighting in a war not many people believed in. After an accident ended his career and his life fell apart, he filled his days keeping screaming fans from reaching the most famous country rock star in the world. And, pining after a woman who would never love him.
Then, everything changed.
He thought he could handle anything that was thrown his way. He thought running my security detail would be the easiest job he’d ever had. He thought he’d be able to keep me safe without getting attached.
He was wrong.
They call me reckless, selfish, and slutty. In reality, I’ve just stopped caring what everyone else thinks. I’m determined to have some fun, to live life my way, and to make Mike realize that being a little selfish isn't the worst thing in the world.
I think we both have our work cut out for us.

“We are going to get in that porn star shower and use it for what it was designed for.”
I glanced over his shoulder, trying to see said shower, but the curtain was pulled. Mike’s fingers, racing back up my legs, pulled my gaze away. When two fingers snuck under my lace panties and yanked, tearing them straight from my body, I jerked my eyes back to him. He merely raised a brow.
“You’re going to wash my hair?”
My bra was his next victim, and it went sailing over his head and across the room behind him. “Such a smartass.” His thumb traced my bottom lip. “I’m going to wash every single part of you, Miss Molly. But I’m going to get you very dirty first.”
He stepped back, putting just a smidge of distance between us before yanking his own shirt over his head and then dropping his jeans. The man had gone commando. Good Lord, he was trying to kill me.
I longed to run my fingertips down the deep ridge between his pecs, tracing the bumps of his six pack, then over his hard flat stomach. From there, I could walk my fingers to his hips and back, enjoying the shallow grooves that formed a v, leading straight to…
I completely lost my train of thought when I realized that he was once again bare. Bald. I did what I could to keep up with my ladyscaping while I was on tour, but the bus wasn’t really the best location to maintain a close shave, and there were no places along our tour route that I trusted for a drop-in wax. How in the hell did he find the time to keep himself hair free?
Unable to keep the thought to myself, I asked him. Instead of responding, he raised an eyebrow and watched me for a minute before he tipped his head back and laughed.
I waited until he’d composed himself a little. “What in the hell is so funny?”
He only grinned. “Only you.” He shook his head, still smiling. “I’m standing here, buck ass naked, looking like this”—he glanced down at his body while motioning to the part of his anatomy that was pointing at me—“and the only thing you notice is that I shaved.”
I settled my hands on my hips and narrowed my eyes at him, ready with a snappy comeback when I realized that his eyes were glued to my chest. I dropped my eyes, remembering too late that I was just as naked as he was and the girls were pushed out because of the way I was standing. I moved my eyes back to his face, rolling them when I saw that his were still glued to my boobs.
I gave them a little shimmy, just a little shake, making him groan. The entire situation was so absurd, a scene from someone else’s life—not mine—that I started to laugh. Within seconds, he’d joined me, and we were two naked morons cackling in a hotel bathroom until tears burned my eyes.

My Review of Out of the Blue:
Out of the Blue is book 2 in the Bama book series. We have a terrific story told in dual POV which is great because we get the main characters POV. This is Mike and Molly's story. I am so glad that Mike’s story was next up because in the last book, his story was calling out to be told.
In this book, Mike is back working for Lia, who is married to his best friend Nate. It is bittersweet for him because she is his best friend and also someone whom is his long-lost love. He has never told her how he felt and has kept his feelings under lock and key. Lia is now Molly’s manager after she fired Eli as her manager and she has asked Mike to be Molly’s security manager after am “incident”. He agreed reluctantly. He didn’t want to be back in Lia’s world but for her, he will.
Molly is a sweet gal, alittle naïve and is someone who happens to be like a Taylor Swift when it comes to the tabloids. They find something to say or make up when it comes to her and last year they made up a threesome triangle between her , Nate and Lia when that was sooooo not true. She and Nate were friends and now they are all friends. Molly is considered the “bad girl” of country music when she is really a good girl who tries to please everyone but can do nothing right for anyone. She feels like what she loved doing is no longer fun and she does not love it anymore. Then there is Mike- she doesn’t know what to make of him and there are her feelings for him.
Mike takes this job , hoping to see more of his son from his previous marriage to his ex Julia. Julia comes around and she throws a spanner into the works with his relationship with Molly. I have to say that I didn’t like Julia very much. She was someone who wasn’t a very nice person. There was something about her that , as a reader, you didn’t feel much sympathy for. In this story which is told in a matter of months we get a backstory of what ties Julia and Mike together and how they ended up having a child together. And how Mike and Molly are together at this point since they have known each other for a while. There are many twists and turns in this story which makes this a truly wonderful story. Ms Adams wove an emotional story with a great flow. I loved the MC and the supporting cast of characters –Lia, Nate, Noah, Roxanne, Julia—and oh I cannot wait to read Noah’s story next. You will not go wrong in reading this lovely emotional read. Mike and Molly will grip your heartstrings and wont let go, nor will you want them to.
My rating: 4.9 stars *****
