A Mighty Good Man started off with intrigue and suspense but the more I read the less interested the book became. Hank started to irritate me more and more because she kept whining about getting out of Fiddlers Elbow and she was only there because her aunt was in the hospital. (She didn't even stay in contact with her aunt before finding out about the accident)
The story seemed to be more centered on her then on Jack. Hank is supposed to be writing about Jack's life as part of a gang. There was only one afternoon/night where she asked questions about why he wanted to get out the gang, what his duties were, etc. I'd also liked to know why Coz was waiting for him when he got out of jail.
I would really like to know why Trainer wanted to find him so bad yet he let Jack go without much fight. I know that blackmail was involved but come on, Trainer was the head honcho!
I really did like Jack because he was this tough gang guy but on the inside he was a kindhearted caring man who wanted to keep Hank and her family and friends from getting hurt. I also like that the author included the POV of Coz

The whole premise was a great idea, the story just needed more flesh to it and a better look into the characters background story especially Jack ( )

REVIEW: “She’d fallen in love, with the story and the man telling it.” Journalist Hank Jerry is reeling from the betrayal of her former boss/lover and the failing health of the only family she has left. Is Jack her salvation or a dangerous disaster? There’s a great storyline with a few unbelievable elements. The budding love is hot and sweet. This is my volunteer review of an Advanced Reader copy of this book.

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: Her personal and professional life on the skids, a family emergency forces writer Hank Jerry to return to the small town and the aunt she left behind.
Fresh out of prison, Jack “Gent” Darcy is bent on cutting ties with the Creds, but when you're a war counselor in a national gang, they don't let you just walk away.
Injured and on the run, Jack lands on Hank’s doorstep, and makes her a proposition she can’t refuse: write his story about life inside one of the most powerful gangs in the country. It’s simple—she’ll get her career groove back, and he’ll bury the gang, then disappear—his version of freedom.
The only problem? They can’t help falling for each other, and they’ve both got something to hide that could blow up in their faces. With time running out and gang enforcers closing in, will the trust they’ve forged survive the ultimate test? ( )

When Hank Jerry's journalist career hits the skids in New York and a family emergency occurs, Hank finds herself back in her hometown of Fiddler's Elbow, Pennsylvania running her aunt's diner.

Jack Darcy wants to start his life over after being released from prison. He wants to cut his ties with the Creds, a dangerous national gang, but they don't let their members just walk away, so he tries to stay out of their clutches.

When Hank and Jack unexpectedly meet at the diner, sparks fly, but hidden secrets and a dangerous decision to expose the gang throw a wrench into their budding romance. Can they survive the danger while falling in love?

In A Mighty Good Man, author Rebecca E. Neely weaves an intense and fast paced tale of intrigue, suspense, romance, secrets, and danger.

The reader will easily be drawn into this exciting story with its strong cast of characters; a gritty and passionate storyline that delves into the romance and battle scars of two broken people; a dangerous criminal gang element; and a good mixture of romance and suspense that will keep the reader sitting on the edge of their seat; while smiling at Hank and Jack's humorous banter, undeniable chemistry, sexual tension, and steamy sex scenes.

What a man, what a man, what a mighty yummy man!

Wow, I was sucked into this story from the first page. I fell instantly for the heroine, Hank, she’s feisty and snarky…a great character, with flaws to overcome. And don’t get me started on Jack, sigh…such a handsome bad boy, with a sordid past, but a heart of gold. The story is believable, and I didn't stop reading until I finished. Ms. Neely weaves a story of intrigue, secrets, family, sexual chemistry, and love. I really enjoyed Hank and Jack's story. ( )
