MY REVIEW:(LAWonder10)
Playboy, Donnie Cuinn, and Cecelia did get together but it did not end well. 
"Broken" and discouraged, he returned to Texas and went to a non-accredited Law School. He "Lucked out" and was able to be hired by Jake Rosen, which did not work out, so he ended up on his own.

The legacy of adventure and challenges of Donnie Cuinn continue as he makes he bet of things, as he always does.

The characters in this second book is even more "colorful" and interesting than those in the first book. As before, the characters "come to life" and the scenes are vividly depicted.

Some of the challenges Donnie faces are connected to those he love.  What can he do to assist them?

The Book Title and Cover are vaguely connected to the story content, but for the browser, it will not "catch his/her eye". The story flows smoothly and progresses steadily with a solid ending, yet, a great "lead in" to his next book.

**Reader beware: There is quite a lot of profanity and sexual situations. Although he has honest principles, he has no morals.

*I offer a literary rating of Four Stars
*This book was gifted to me with no requirement of a positive review. This is my honest review.

Meet the Author:
BOYD TAYLOR lives in Austin, Texas with his wife and their Havanese dog Toby. Necessities is the fourth novel in the Donnie Ray Cuinn series. In a former life, Boyd was a lawyer and a corporate officer. A native of Temple, Texas, he graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in government and an LL.B. from the law school.
Boyd's first novel "Hero" was prescient in its story about fake news. His second novel, "The Antelope Play," dealt with drug trafficking in the Texas Panhandle, an unfortunately accurate forecast. The third, "The Monkey House", involved commercial development of a large green space in the center of Austin, all too familiar to Austin residents. Whether his upcoming novel "Necessities" predicts future events with the accuracy of the earlier books remains to be seen.
