Blurb:
The mentor.
The doctor.
The Vandal.
I grew up on the streets despite my older sister’s best efforts to keep my nose clean. I thought I knew better. I worked hard. and made money. Who cared if what I did was a little illegal?
Then a little boy paid the price for my carelessness. A little boy and his baby sister. It was the wakeup call I needed, even if the cost came too high.
Rough choices made for rough outcomes and when I had the chance to join the military or go to jail to get straight, I went to the military.
I paid for my thoughtless actions by becoming deliberate.
I paid for my greed by offering service.
I paid for my chance at a better life with blood, sweat, and fire.
That service left me scarred but determined. Medical school and training taught me I could continue to serve.
I walked away from the streets, from the blood, the violence, and costs of doing business. Living a life I stole not once, but twice, I focused on helping, on protecting, and on healing.
Until she came back into my life.
I didn’t start this current war, but I will damn well end it.
My name is Mickey James. Little Bit is everything. I fought to stay away, and I’ll fight to keep. Our enemies are going to learn that my skill at healing broken bodies makes me damn talented at damaging them too. They drew blood, we’ll bury them.

Series
Fierce Dancer 5/23
This is the 8th book in the 82 Street Vandals series and yes they absolutely have to be read in order.
Y'all, I was NOT ready for this book. AT ALL. This book broke me worse than Broken Knight by LJ Shen. IYKYK! It takes a lot for a book to make me cry and this book had me bawling. Not just for one chapter either. I cried through SIX CHAPTERS!!!!!!! Ugly cried. Bawled like a baby. My dog had to come check on me b/c she thought something was seriously wrong. So there is your warning. Be prepared.
Now on to other things. This book has more of a focus on Doc. We get to learn his back story. The life he lead before the military and the reasons for him choosing the path he chose. Loved getting to learn more of him. So to back up a bit, we left off in the last book with a ton of damage happening. So we pick back up there. The group is dealing with all of the carnage. Things are set in motion and moves are being made. Big moves. I have to say that Emersyn has grown so much over this series and it shows a lot in this book. How she has come to trust not only the vandals but herself as well. She shows grit and determination and the strength that she has. While growing herself, she also has learned how to help each and every one of her vandals. She knows what they need and how to help them through the tough times they have landed in.
Now we all know that Freddie is my absolute favorite. Love me some Freddie. He has some major moments in this book and I was so happy for him. He too has shown magnificent growth. The way he will do anything at all to protect Em is the best too.
Ok so there are some MAJOR revelations in this book. I'm talking game changer revelations. This may be my favorite book of the series. Yes even with it breaking me down. There is just SO MUCH that happens in this book. All of the pieces are coming together to show the whole picture. We only have one more book left guys. Of course we are left on a major cliffy too. Like, may be the biggest one Heather has ever done. Y'all need to stop telling her "it wasn't so bad" b/c she just keeps digging deep to see how bad she can mess us up on these endings. This one hurt. Good thing Fierce Dancer is set to release NEXT MONTH!
