Inside the Grey

Historical Romance

Brayden Wakefield is quickly losing faith that the encroaching hostilities will end peaceably.  He and his neighbors, Fletcher Stedman and Royce Carlyle, seem to be in the minority in their belief that the war would not end in a few months.  They sense any clash would be long and brutal.  But their loyalty to one another supplants their reluctance, and they are drawn into the politics and atrocities to save their kidnapped comrade, Caleb Jenkins.​

Nothing is as it seems, however.  The gentlemen, turned raiders, squirrel behind enemy lines.  Brayden uncovers lies and intrigue on both sides but as he and his fellow raiders execute their audacious plan, as they torch the layers of the conspiracy, Brayden finds love hidden among the ashes.

Inside the Grey by Bobbi Groover is a story of love, war, heroism, and friendship that exceeds all boundaries, knows no end to its depths, and what one human will do for another. Two key characters have come together under trying circumstances with one aim, to fight a common enemy and help find those they love and respect, freeing them from a world of injustice and needless death. They have with them friends who have very different thoughts, opinions and plans that both help and hinder their goals; friends who in a time of need cause them to doubt themselves and their plans to save the ones they love so dearly, and themselves, as they find out to their sadness. Brayden and Kawley, who have their own pasts and demons to combat, are now trying to deal with the future of their beloved friends and family. Taking so many risks along the way, they endeavor to bring both themselves and their friends to a happy ending. In a book filled with dramatic plots and drama, with its title Inside the Grey becoming obvious within these twists, will they achieve their goals? 

Bobbi Groover writes a wonderful story with Inside the Grey, taking you back to the American Civil War. The story has you torn between tender, slowly evolving love and action in a time of deep despair for friends during the mad world of reckless war. It holds both romance and drama in equal and beautiful measures. Bobbi Groover writes two quite different storylines interwoven in a gripping tale that had me completely captivated. Both stories are equally as important to the book and as breathtaking as each other, having me wanting to enjoy every single line that led me further into its drama. It has a number of striking characters that both enthralled and at stages annoyed me. All add a playful and dramatic edge to the storyline. The two key characters introduce their companions with an ease of reading and believability that drew me into the story with a sense of belonging. Its twists and turns would be worthy of any lover of this genre. An amazing journey into a bygone era that concludes with a happy ending!

This book was a Genre I have never read until now, but it was so well written it had me staying up very late to read it, so enjoyable.

— ​Bernadette Diane Anderson for Readers’ Favorite

This read as a true saga.  Every character was fully developed and will leave readers feeling like they know each personality inside and out.  Brayden will break your heart with his hurt and regrettable loss.  Kawley will have readers cheering her on as she tackles every obstacle and overcomes past trauma.  Disguises are worn.  Secrets are held.  Friendships are made.  At any given moment, anything can happen.  This is a well told story of remorse, determination, surprises, friendship, and love. 

​LOVE LIST
​
  • I loved that each character was fully developed.  Each personality shined through with well written dialogue.
  • I loved that Brayden came from a place of hurt and regret and channeled those emotions into writing.  Snippets from his journal allowed me to gain a truer sense of who he was.
  • I loved that the heroine was in disguise for a large part of the book.  I read in anticipation waiting for one character after another to learn her true identity.
  • I loved that Kawley’s backstory wasn’t fully revealed immediately.  This kept me wanting to learn more about her as the story progressed.
  • I loved that the action scenes were fast paced and brought each event to life.
  • I loved that unexpected secrets were revealed at varying intervals.  The twists and turns held my attention.
  • I loved Kawley’s bravery.  The idea of not wanting to become too dependent on someone else would resonate with many readers.
