Blurb:
Gypsy Bradbury was never destined for great things. Or at least that’s what she’d convinced herself of. Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, she had learned that hoping for more was a waste of time. Then Marco forced his way into her life and gave her a glimpse of a future brighter than any she could have imagined. But if her past taught her anything, it was that if something seemed too good to be true… it probably was.
The promise of a quiet, simple life was what drew Marco Castillo to Hope Valley. After experiencing war and death first hand, he was looking for something easy. Then he met a woman with guarded eyes and the most beautiful smile he’d ever seen. The only problem was she came with more baggage than a 747.
There is nothing easy about Gypsy, but Marco knows without a doubt that the promise of her is well worth the effort. She’s the strongest, bravest woman he’s ever met, and when the life she’s fought to build for her and her family is threatened, Marco is determined to win that battle for her. Whether Gypsy wants his help or not.
Wrong Side of The Tracks is the fourth book in the Hope Valley Series by Jessica Prince. The books are interconnected even tough each of them can be read as a standalone. I already read and loved the other books in this series but I think that maybe I love Gypsy and Marco's story best.
I mean, Gypsy who is fighting so hard to provide for her siblings, who works two jobs and would do anything for these kids to not only survive but to thrive and Marco, who slowly but steadily bullies his way into her life - they are just too cute. It's not easy for Gypsy to accept help but Marco isn't someone who gives up easily and when the strip club where she is working at night is sold to a known drug dealer and criminal, not only Marco steps up to protect her. All their friends get together to protect one of their own.
Gypsy has been on her own ever since her parents decided that parenthood wasn't for them but, well, nothing changed when they left because it had always been Gypsy who had cared and provided for her siblings. It's not easy for her to let somebody into her life but Marco doesn't give up no matter how rocky their path is.
Considering the fact that I fell in love with Gypsy right from the start, I wanted her to have his support and I loved to see him step up and just be there for her. Her siblings and her neighbor Odette are also amazing characters and you can feel how much they all care for each other and how tight they are.
The whole book was once again well written with a captivating and sweet story. There's just the right amount of action and romance and I really enjoyed reading this book. I can't wait to hear more about these people from Hope Valley and I was happy to see that at least two more books are planned.

“Get dressed, babe,” he ordered, tossing my bra and panties to me before slipping back into his boxer briefs.
I sat up, holding the sheet to me as I looked at him in confusion. “What? Why? I figured we’d take a little nap, then kick off round two. Neither of those things requires getting dressed.”
His cocky smirk set off the butterflies in my belly as he pulled on his jeans. “As much as I’d love a round two right now, it’ll have to wait. I’m taking you to the diner for lunch.”
I froze in the middle of re-hooking my bra and looked up at him in panic. Reading my expression loud and clear, Marco moved back to the bed. The mattress dipped under his weight as he bent toward me and gave me a chaste kiss. “If it helps, don’t think of it as a date. Think of it as a meal shared by two people who really enjoy having sex with each other.”
I tipped my head to the side incredulously. “You’re saying we’re friends with benefits?”
He seemed to give that some thought as he tugged his T-shirt over his head. “No, not friends with benefits. I’d say we’re way more than friends, wouldn’t you?”
“Well, yeah. But what does that make us?”
“Don’t worry about labeling it,” he responded, lifting the weight that had been resting on my shoulders. “For now, let’s just enjoy each other and do what feels natural, yeah?”
“Yeah.” My lips slowly spread into a smile. “Okay. I can do that.”
“Good, girasol.” With that, he stood tall, grabbing my wrist and hauling me from the bed. “And what feels natural right now is getting some food in my gut before it eats clear through to my backbone. You want a round two, I need to refuel, so move that sexy ass of yours.”
Shooting him a playful glare as I went about getting dressed, I warned, “You want a round two ever, you should probably stop being so damn bossy.”
He stepped close just as I finished zipping up my jeans. His voice was low and full of sex as he said, “Baby, you hurry up so I can eat, and I’ll bring you back here and show you the type of bossy you won’t be able to get enough of.”
Well, all right, then.
