De: Kristen Ashley

Narrado por: Lance Greenfield, Stella Bloom, Joseph Discher

From New York Times best-selling author Kristen Ashley comes the new book in her River Rain series, Fighting the Pull.

Hale Wheeler inherited billions from his father. He’s decided to take those resources and change the world for the better. He’s married to his mission, so he doesn’t have time for love.

There’s more lurking behind this decision. He hasn’t faced the tragic loss of his father, or the bitterness of his parents’ divorce. He doesn’t intend to follow in his father’s footsteps, breaking a woman’s heart in a way it will never mend. So he vows he’ll never marry.

But Hale is intrigued when he meets Elsa Cohen, the ambitious celebrity news journalist who has been reporting on his famous family. He warns her off, but she makes him a deal. She’ll pull back in exchange for an exclusive interview.

Elsa Cohen is married to her career, but she wants love, marriage, children. She also wants the impossibly handsome, fiercely loyal, tenderhearted Hale Wheeler.

They go head-to-head, both denying why there are fireworks every time they meet. But once they understand their undeniable attraction, Elsa can’t help but fall for the dynamic do-gooder.

As for Hale, he knows he needs to fight the pull of the beautiful, bold, loving Elsa Cohen, because breaking her would crush him.

Fighting the Pull

Great story and written well. I love the characters especially Hale and Elsa a great couple.

Another great KA story

My favorite in the River Rain series I think - but I’ll likely want to reread the others to be sure!

fantastic series

I absolutely love the evolution of the characters and I can't wait to read / listen to the next book!

Good story…

A good use of credit, I enjoyed the plot and story. I was well told, at times though, it felt over voiced. I also did not enjoy hearing JC name be used as a curse word. That made me cringe.

Nice to get Hale’s story

I liked this one. It had moments of the “old” KA. Yes, there’s still a bit of her recent penchant for preachy wokeness and the seemingly obligatory misuse of the word INFERRED where the correct word is IMPLIED (shame on her editors who let this embarrassing grammatical error get by them at least once in almost every book this NYT Bestselling Author has ever written).

However, when you get past that, you have a classic KA novel. The characters are layered and interesting, and you care about them and want to see them overcome their obstacles and find happiness. I liked this one a little better than the ones prior. Again, I think that’s because her “voice” reminds me more of what it was like in the Colorado Mountain, ‘Burg and Rock Chick days which is when I began to love her books.

Great Addition

I love this series and appreciate Hale and Elsa’s story more than expected. We humans are complicated and this telling does a good job of peeling and revealing layers. I like how this came together.

Always nice to revisit old characters too but with the way my brain works, i have a hard time keeping up with so many different people.

My favorite so far in the series

This books had absolutely everything that was needed it made me cry, laugh, get angry, and I love, freaking loved how you made me fall in love with who I thought was just a horrible man.

Love this book

Each book gets better and better . I love how you’re not only get to know the new characters, but we get to find out how the past characters continue.

Great story line

Well written, I love the romance with just a little drama. Learning more about characters we learned to love if so comforting . Nice to learn more about Cory & Hale.

BEST ONE YET!

This is my favorite story of the series.

We finally find out what prompted one of the main incidents that happened at the beginning which impacted so many of the characters in these stories.

The narrators did a great job.

Recommended audiobook.
