Synopsis
Twelve years ago Tucker McCoy walked away from the hell that was his family with not much more than the shirt on his back. No regrets. Never once looking back.
Living his life as a roustabout turned stunt rider with a traveling carnival keeps a smile on his face. His new family are the people he’s chosen to be in his life, the people who travel his road. Kes, Zach and Zef don’t share his blood, but they share his hopes and dreams. Understand his fears and know what makes him tick. They’re his brothers, his real family.
If you keep moving, no one can catch you—it’s a simple rule. So when Tucker crosses paths with Tera Hawkins, he knows he should move on. There’s no woman that’s ever been worth breaking his rules for. Besides, she’s off limits, untouchable. He knows stronger men would walk away, but dammit, he’s always been weak.
All he can offer her is a night she’ll never forget, but will that one taste be enough?

Excerpt
The motorcycles circled the stadium like gladiators, or maybe like men jousting on horseback in days gone by: charging at each other, daring each other, until eventually they were ringed around the outer fence, each preparing for their first jump.
Zef went first, blasting off the ramp, followed a split second later by Tucker in the opposite direction, and I was so certain they were going to crash in the middle, I screamed and closed my eyes.
Aimee squeezed my hand hard, causing me to wince. I opened my eyes just in time to see Kes leaping through a circle of fire, the flames glancing off his helmet.
On and on it went, higher, faster, closer. Sweat trickled down my body, pooling under my armpits, leaving me drenched and weak.
The engines revved and hummed, and then they all charged together, a flying tower of men, with Kestrel cartwheeling over the top of them.
The crowd screamed and clapped and cheered, and Aimee and I stood up, shrieking with them.
“Oh my God!” I yelled over the noise. “I nearly had a heart attack!”
Aimee laughed and wiped her eyes.
“Every time,” she whispered, her voice shaky. “Every time.”
I followed her back to the RV where the guys were peeling off their sweat-soaked leathers, standing in their underwear, huge smiles plastered across their faces.
Tucker scooped me up in a sweaty hug, his hot skin slick to the touch.
“You are amazing!” I said honestly, a relieved laugh breaking out of me. “Stinky, but amazing!”
He laughed loudly, his head thrown back, his eyes crinkling with happiness, and then he kissed me, deeply.
Michel’s Review
Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of all ages… Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth! You are about to witness the most exciting … death defying show of the century! Are you ready for the Donohue Daredevils? Let the show begin!
Roustabout by Jane Harvey- Berrick is the third book in the exciting Traveling Series. The Traveling Series is based upon the lives of carnies and their families. Their lifestyles and free spirits are captivating. Their sense of honor and code that they live by is just as unique as each individual that is a part of their world. Their world is quite different from the normal lifestyles that most people live. They march to their own beat. Those who are part of their world are loved fiercely. Jane Harvey-Berrick created a series that will capture the readers hearts, imagination, and awe. She has brought that special magic to our hearts.
The Traveling Series features the electrifying daredevil stunt riders that tour the country with the carnival. Roustabout can be read as a stand alone romance or in series order. I would highly recommend reading this book in series order because each and every book in this series is sensational.
Tucker McCoy is the fun loving, easy going, manwhore of the daredevil riders. He has a different lady in every town. He’s just as famous for his bedroom endeavors as he is for his death defying stunts. His only purpose in life is to ride his bike and please the ladies. He doesn’t believe in love, commitments, or relationships. The only thing he is committed to is his daredevil team and his carnie family. When he meets Tera Hawkins, the half sister to his teammate, rules may be broken. He may be tempted to break the rules and hook up with his teammate’s sister. She may be out of his league but she is perfect for his bed.
Tera Hawkins is not a part of the carnie world. She has been brought up as a privileged princess. Her father is a powerful Senator with a sketchy past. Part of his sketchy past includes two brothers she never knew she had. She is determined to become a part of her brother’s lives and embrace the family her prestigious family doesn’t want to acknowlege. Getting to know her brother Kes opens a whole new world for Tera. She is getting to know his world and the people that are important to him. She didn’t count on Tucker McCoy, the charming daredevil rider.
Their lives may be worlds apart but the heart wants what the heart wants. You can’t pick who you fall in love with. The only thing you can do is find a way to make the impossible work. Tera and Tucker have a hard road to travel but the journey is worth every loving moment.
Once again Jane Harvey-Berrick wrote an emotional and exciting story. I was glued to the pages and experiencing the magic until the very end.
I highly recommend Roustabout and The Traveling Series.
The Traveling Series has made the 2015 Favorites List.
