About this listen

I never expected to become a single mom. Back in my Colorado hometown, all I have time for is work and raising my grieving nephew.

I don’t have time for a man.

Especially a tall, dark, and broody one.

Allie
I’ve swapped city life for small town. Designer suits for a housekeeping uniform. And don’t get me started on my lack of sleep. But I’d do it all again in a heartbeat to take care of my nephew.

Now my life revolves around running hotel housekeeping at the Langston Windward and taking care of my kiddo.

Oh, it also involves trying to avoid our cold, scowling, ex-military head of security. Everywhere I turn, I see Caden Castro and his muscled body and inky-black eyes.

And every time I see him, he’s watching me.

Caden
As head of security for Langston Hotels, my job is to fly in, upgrade security, then fly out. Since I left the military, I keep my life simple and avoid distractions.

Works helps me escape the memories and guilt that never go away.

Except, since I came to Windward, all I can think about is Allie Ford.

It isn’t just her long legs and lean body, it’s her fierce attitude and spirit. But she’s a hard-working single mom, and I’m a man with nothing to offer.

Then a group of dangerous guests into extreme sports arrive. They have trouble written all over them, and when Allie gets sucked into that trouble, it changes everything.

Whatever line I have to cross, I’ll do it to keep her safe.

Anna never disappoints. These characters are strong and tough and need the love of each other to complete them. An amazing performance.

Another great exciting storyline

This audiobook was just what I needed for a quiet evening with a good book. It’s not too long, the story does not drag and we get all the points necessary to just enjoy the storyline. Caden believes he lost his essence in the army and has just been going through the motions in life; Allie wanted nothing but to live the city life but an unfortunate family incident brought her back to her home town and to the life she never thought she wanted. Both are navigating grief in their own way but when they are together sparks fly and those around them can feel them.
Add a small town and some very dangerous people to the mix and their lives will never be the same again.
Loved Emma Wilder and Lee Samuels’ performance.

I have listened to most of this authors books and have really liked them, but this one not so much. What annoyed me the most was the character names. Sara and Clara? Ali and Ollie? Really?
Of all the names out there in the world this author had to choose ones that are so similar, when the narrators say them repeatedly, it’s like nails on a blackboard. Think about the names in your stories a bit more Miss Hackett. Very disappointed with this one.

Can't wait for the next one. This book also provides an exciting storyline and HEA. Can't wait to hear Piper's story and new character Gunner. Reading about Enzo will also be exciting 😀 hopefully he will get his own book.

Book one and two in one day...
