I love Jane's writing for her storytelling and how she takes you to a different place, I adored Kes and Aimee's story and they will always be my favourite couple, that being said this was a slightly different read but one I enjoyed being alongside.

What's it about?
Tucker is known for his Manwhore ways he never takes a woman twice. In fact, he pushes it twice but never connects to any woman, that is until he see's Tara. Tara is Kes's half sister and is from a different world to Tucke ...more

description

My Views : This is a love story between Tucker - the manwhore and Tera – the Senator’s daughter. I had high hopes with this one especially after reading The Traveling man but honestly I was very disappointed

because this one didn’t have that magic that the first book in the series had. Then in terms of excitement it wasn’t much either.

I'm officially in love with Tucker McCoy.

Roustabout is a story that captivate me right from the start and kept me awake all night long because I simply can't put it down without knowing what will happen in the end. I absolutely adore the heroine and in love with the hero. Not to mention the great supporting casts from the carnival, Kes, Aimee, Zef and the rest of the clan.

Tucker McCoy made his first appearance in The Travelling Man, the 1st book in Jane Havey-Berricks’s fabulous The Travelling Series

Roustabout is the 3rd novel in the series and we now have Tucker McCoy, roustabout turned stunt daredevil bike driver with Hawkins Daredevil Stunt Riders carnival traveling show. He has never looked back since he joined a travelling carnival 12 years ago at the age of 17, leaving the life of poverty and hardship he had known. He’s happy with the new family and friends he has in his new life. He’s fun, happy-go-lucky, sexy, loves women but only for the sex rush….doesn’t do love and happily ever after!!

photo 92d8d7d2-29e9-41fc-bceb-066894e1b208_zpsszydj5xr.png

But under that carefree façade, we see a man fighting the demons from his past. The story is told from both Tucker's and Tera's POV, so we are able to see the real Tucker.
I found Tucker so endearing. So many times I felt the urge to hug him and comfort him……he’s one of those characters that grab you and never let you go.

Tera Hawkins couldn’t be more different from Tucker’s world. She’s comes from a life of wealth and privilege, his best friend, Kes’s sister and totally off limits.

Despite the differences between her and Tucker. Loved seeing how she tried to show him that he was a man worth loving. Her kindness and her openness were just some of her traits that I loved.

The story and character development was so good. Tucker and Tera’s relationship progresses from friends to lovers and a joy seeing how both dealt with the attraction and feelings for each other. How much Tucker tried to persuade Tera that he was not a man worthy of her….

“We’re on two different roads, TC. Crossing paths was an accident, but it’s not meant to be.”
… “Can’t we make our own road, choose our own path?”

But Tera is not daunted…she fights for what she believes in….and Tucker is the man she wants to be with.

“Won’t you even try?”
He closed his eyes, a pained look on his face.
“Is that really what you want, Terra? A guy like me?”
I shook my head. “No, Tucker. I don’t want a guy like you. I want you.”

The most poignant part of the story is when Tucker goes back home to attend his mother’s funeral. We find out about his life and his family and friends, before he left all those years ago. There so much sadness, so many people who had betrayed and lied to Tucker. The cruelty and hardness shown by the town’s inhabitants was so damn awful….my heart wept for Tucker…….and then when Tera makes an appearance at the funeral….jeez, I thought I was going to breakdown!!!

“Why are you here, TC? I don’t mean in this shitty little town…why are you here with me?”
“Because I like you.”

The other touching scene is when Tucker sells his beloved Ducati bike

so he can help someone, who turns out to be the most devious character ever…..never thinks of himself but doing good for someone else……
And then, I cried buckets…..
“Don’t ever cry for me.”
“Someone has to.”

This is also a story of family and how much they care for each other. I loved meeting up with Kes and Aimee from Travelling Man/Woman duet. And watching the daily life in a travelling carnival, the interesting and quirky characters, the friendship, the loyalty….

A beautiful written and touching love story, filled with unforgettable characters that you are fully engaged with.

This is a series I will definitely read again.

I like this authors writing style and it's always easy to get into her stories but I struggled with this one. Mainly because I didn't like the heroine, Tera, one bit. To me, it just seemed like the rich girl was slumming it with a Carnie. She just seemed to want Tucker for sex. The story was really predictable and I've read it a thousand times before.

4.5 "Star-Crossed Lovers" Stars! If you loved the Traveling Duet (Traveling Man/Traveling Woman), you will not want to miss Tucker McCoy's and Tera Hawkins' story. Tucker is one of the other three motorcycle stunt riders that travels with Kes in the carnival circuit, and Tera is Kes' recently discovered half sister who was raised by his estranged father the Senator. Roustabout has the same angst filled, heart wrenching emotional quality that I fell in love with in the Traveling Man/Traveling Wom 4.5 "Star-Crossed Lovers" Stars! If you loved the Traveling Duet (Traveling Man/Traveling Woman), you will not want to miss Tucker McCoy's and Tera Hawkins' story. Tucker is one of the other three motorcycle stunt riders that travels with Kes in the carnival circuit, and Tera is Kes' recently discovered half sister who was raised by his estranged father the Senator. Roustabout has the same angst filled, heart wrenching emotional quality that I fell in love with in the Traveling Man/Traveling Woman, and that only a true star crossed lovers romance can draw out. While the facts are slightly different here, its another inspiring romance that allows you to root for the underdog and ultimately proves that true love can transcend anything, including class differences.

For those of you who are wondering if Roustabout can be read as a standalone, the answer is yes. While it is helpful to have read, Traveling 1 and 2, to put the carnival life and the various secondary characters in context; strictly speaking, Roustabout can be read as a standalone, as the romance between Tucker and Tera is fully contained within this book.

After one emotionally scarring experience, Tucker discovered that women are best enjoyed in a non-serious relationship. His exceptional flirtatious manner, and ability to smile in the face of adversity combined with his demanding physical regime, further prime him as the perfect candidate to charm nearly any woman. Moreover, his life on the carnival circuit, which began as a roustabout (a general carnival jack of all trades) and which now has turned into the more coveted position of a motorcycle stunt man--has never been conducive to anything longer than a night (or two) anyway.

Tera is enjoying getting to know her brother Kes, visiting him often at the carnivals he is performing at when time off from her busy career allows. It is during one of those visits that she first sets her sights on Tucker. Though she knows Tucker's reputation, she is determined to have her own, at least, one night of pleasure with this man who elicits a reaction in her like no other.

As soon as Tucker, learns who she is (Kes' sister) though, he starts avoiding her though he's equally as tempted. Just as it appears that Tera may be wearing Tucker down though, a blast from the past comes back into Tucker's life that threatens it all. As if that weren't enough to contend with, Tera's protective and rich father and mother are equally determined to ensure that Tera, who is ever in the political spotlight due to her Senator father's political ambitions, date a man worthy of the political spotlight. Then, of course there is Kes and Aimee, who are protective of his Kes' sister, and who know Tucker's proclivities when it comes to women. Do Tera and Tucker possibly stand a chance among this avalanche of obstacles?

All in all, Roustabout is another hit for Jane Harvey-Berrick. I can't wait to read more of Ms. Harvey-Berrick's evocative writing in the future!

Tera Hawkins is a young woman working for her father’s political campaign. A year ago, her world is shaken to its core, not only did her father cheat on her mother, also the existence of two half-brothers came to light. The treatment of her half-brothers mothers by her father makes her resent him, just as her parents’ reaction and cover-up of the whole situation. Because Terra never had siblings, she wants to form some sort of relationship with her half-brothers. Therefor she visits her brother Tera Hawkins is a young woman working for her father’s political campaign. A year ago, her world is shaken to its core, not only did her father cheat on her mother, also the existence of two half-brothers came to light. The treatment of her half-brothers mothers by her father makes her resent him, just as her parents’ reaction and cover-up of the whole situation. Because Terra never had siblings, she wants to form some sort of relationship with her half-brothers. Therefor she visits her brother Kes whenever her work allows her, on the fairgrounds he’s working with his wife Aimee and their house in the countryside. It’s here she meets Tucker McCoy, a member of Kes’s stunt team. Despite the differences between them, the lives they lead, she finds herself very attracted to him.

"I'd never done anything like this before, but I figured that a man I was powerfully attracted to like Tuckers… this was the place to start living my live.”

Tucker didn’t have an easy childhood, ignored by his mother and beaten by his stepfather he leaves town after learning the truth about the girl he thinks is his girlfriend. He just walked away, joined the carnival and never looked back for 12 long years. Tucker is a man who enjoys his freedom, does what he wants, when he wants and with whom he wants as long as it stays casual. Due to his upbringing, the life he leads and his respect for Kes, he feels he doesn’t deserve a good girl like Tera.

“I knew Tera was attracted to me, and I was definitely attracted to her, but that was the problem. She was Kes’s sister: she wasn’t someone I could fuck and forget.”

Tucker and Tera see each other every time she comes to visit her brother and his wife; they feel a mutual attraction but don’t act on it. One day Tera decides she’s done, done with being the good girl, do the right thing and let her father dictate her life. She wants to start living, truly living and finally give in to her attraction to Tucker. Knowing he’s not a relationship kind of guy she offers him one night of hot sex, no promises no expectations. Tucker knows he should say no, she’s his best friends half-sister and she is, in his opinion, too good for him. After dancing around each other for a bit, they finally give their relationship a real chance.

Roustabout brings you back to the world of The Traveling Man and The Traveling Woman, the first two books in the series. I’ve really enjoyed seeing the people from the previous books, to see glimpses of their lives and relationships. The story being told isn’t an unique one, but it’s written in the beautiful style of Jane Harvey-Berrick, full of real feelings and emotions, love and hope.

“Shock, relief, satisfaction, astonishment, disbelief, hope. Most of all hope. So many emotions flowed through and over and around me. I drowned in them, drank them in, feeling unworthy, blessed, and determined not to fuck up.”

I was excited for this book since I heard Tucker would be getting his own book, and this story did my excitement justice. I loved the story, the leading characters, and the road they traveled. I give this book 5 beautiful stars.

I was very lucky in winning an early copy of the Roustabout and here is my honest review:

The Daredevils are back! This time its the story of Tucker McCoy.

Jane Harvey-Berrick is an incredibly clever author. She has the talent to create a hero that has the right mixture of strong, alpha exterior but with a hidden vulnerability. You don't know if you want to rip their clothes off or cuddle them at the same time. Her writing is just beautifully described. I just couldn't put the book down.

Roustabout is a story of life, love, brotherhood bound by friendship that runs thicker than blood. I've said it before and I will say it again - Jane Harvey-Berrick doesn't just do romance, this isn't another formulaic bad boy meets rich girl contemporary read but an intricate, beautifully weaved life experience.

From an abused boy to a hard working roustabout runaway, Tucker McCoy is an incredible talent that has pledged to never be used as a scapegoat again. He may be a player with the ladies, but deep down Tucker's actions stem from a family who didn't love him and a betrayal that cut so deep his outlook on life in general was to make the best of what you had, grab on to every freeing opportunity and enjoy the ride.

It worked... for a time, until Tera Hawkins, half sister of Hawkins Daredevils' leader, Kes entered the fray.

Tera is looking for a little danger and some harmless fun. Being the Daughter of a politician looking to make office comes with responsibilities and a carefree shackle. Tucker McCoy is sexy, funny and incredibly talented and Tera can't take her eyes off of him. He is the perfect itch to her scratch.

When one night together manifests into a friendship built on honesty and affection, Tera learns that not everything is at it seems as she starts to question everything she thought she knew about her Father.

From family fiasco's to past indiscretions and the scary notion of finding love in a person that is the polar opposite is a battle you choose to fight... or sadly, walk away from.

And I walked this story with Tucker and Tera. Side by side I revelled in their connection, their ability to sense, to feel more given the challenges thrown at them from both family angles and the one in-between. But what I loved most about this book is Tucker and Tera's journey may be thwart with obstacles and insecurities, but every one was met with maturity and a common ground respect. You will find no annoying heroines here, just a tough one!

The sex is off the charts, but it is the characterisation that reels me in every time. Having now read this third book in the Traveling series I can honestly say that the Hawkins Daredevils exist. To me they are a strong impenetrable unit that show us what it means to be part of a family; a family that chooses you, that accepts you as you are and has your back at every opportunity. Just like the Goonies... Carnies never say die!

We get to connect with the lovely Kes and Aimee again, along with Ollo, Zef and the sweet little Bo. Characters that I've genuinely missed, welcomed me back with open arms.

If you are looking for a deep profound and exemplary written series with substance then hitch a ride on this Carnie RV... you won't ever want to leave.

Tucker is just gorgeous and charming. He's so hard working, his family are the carnie people but he is a man whore. He however does make it very clear he will only give the person one night so I thought fair play to him.
Tucker though wasn't all happiness, sunshine and woman. He's a family he doesn't talk about or want to ever see again, he was bought up in a family of abuse and pain and this has left him thinking he isn't worthy of anyone's love. He's managed to get by in life by when anything he found upsetting or difficult to deal with or talk about, he would cover with a joke. Throughout th book he s very hard on himself and he didn't need to be at all. He thought just because he was with the Carnival, he didn't deserve someone's love and that he would never be good enough for anyone, when he couldn't be further from the truth. Tucker was so perfect. You couldn't help but love him for everything he stood for and was about.
Tera is Kes's Sister and the Senators daughter. She is loving getting to no her new family and loves it even more when she mets Tucker. As Tucker is Kes's best friend and like a brother though, Tera knows Tucker will not cross that line so my Gosh does she push and push until she breaks Tucker down.
At first I wasn't to keen on her as I didn't like how much she was pushing Tucker and manipulating him in a way to get in his life when she had been told no by him. However as the story unfolds I changed my opinion about her completely. She never treated Tucker like he was beneath her, she fought against her family to be with him and fought hard to make Tucker believe that just because they were bought up differently, that she thinks no different about him and just wants to be with him because she loved him. She fought so hard over and over to convince Tucker and I'm glad she did as they were a great couple.
Tucker was a complex character with a lot of issues he's never overcome and with Tera beside him, he got stronger and stronger.
I loved that we got to catch up with the Kes, Aimee and the other characters from the previous books. The book wouldn't of been the same without them popping up.
Great writing again.

“No, in the carnival a roustabout is a jack-of-all-trades, a laborer. Doing whatever needs doing.”

This book was very good. I fell in love earlier this year with Kes and Aimee’s story. It was magical! So to be able to continue living in that world with this new stand-alone has me giddy. Roustabout is Tucker McCoy’s story. He is Kes’s best friend and fellow stunt rider in the Hawkins Daredevils traveling show.

Roustabout is written from dual POVs (Tucker and Tera’s). I really connected with both ch ...more
