Publisher's summary

Riley Wolfe is finally free from her past.

So why is she still running?

Coming to terms with her father’s death and her own implication in his murder has sent Riley reeling, so she does what she does best. She runs. Not only from her home but from herself, ending up in a small town in Montana.

Matteo Rossi lives a modest life, doing construction, making silver jewelry, and renting out the cabin he inherited from his uncle. He’s happy and has no wish for anything else, until a beautiful renter from the east comes hurtling into his life.

Passion erupts between Matt and Riley, but Matt soon discovers his lovely renter isn’t who she claims to be. When she disappears, he’s determined to find her, even if it means walking through fire.

Loved Riley and Matt

A good story for this series! A bit unrealistic about how fast all these couples fall in love but I just over look that and enjoy the story. I can’t wait to find out who killed their father!!

Narrators did a good job.

So Intrigued

There are so many reasons this book gave me all the feels, good and bad. Riley has endured a lifetime of heart wrenching and soul shattering trauma. Watching her story with Matteo unfold heals the breaks in your heart as you turn page after page. The underlying story of who killed Derek Wolfe is still moving strong and has you on edge as you try to find each clue throughout the book. I listened to the audiobook, and it gives the story wings that soar as you listen chapter after chapter.

Another Great Series

Another great series. I loved it and can’t wait for the next book, “Rake”.
I have already pre-ordered it and I have pre-ordered the 5th book, “Reckoning”.
Good Reading!

Boring

So the only reason I continued this series is to see if their father was really dead the stories themselves sucked. Not the events it just wasn't put together well. Disappointed

Too blasé on Riley's struggle with her trauma

Though overall this part of the story was ok, it didn't show the true depth of Riley's trauma. She spent nearly all her life being abused by her father in the most horrifying manner, and yet she fairly easily pushes it down to become intimate with Matteo. Her trauma is a difficult subject and I am sure the author didn't want to dwell on it, but she still could have better represented the difficulty and pain of trusting oneself into the care of another, especially intimately, after nearly two decades of abuse.

Anyway, the narrators were great.
