Interesting story

This story was interesting. It took me a while to get into it and when I finally did, I was happy. I wasn't sure if I would like this book but it ended up being really good.

The narration was great as usual with Tor and Charley!

Love and trouble

A young girl chooses to runaway and finds out how trusting the wrong people can cause so much anguish. This book and narration are so powerful! Rachelle Ayala, I think you did an amazing job! I was on pins and needles! Tor Thom scared the crap out of me! Tor you play evil a little too well! Charley Ongel, your voice has so many layers! Perfection! Wanted to give more stars!

Great romantic suspense!

Every time I listen to Rachelle Ayala, I know I am in for a treat. A new adult story of finding yourself despite your circumstances, Ayala has incorporated love and suspense into the web. Amber has left home to flee her overbearing parents and find her freedom. Little did she know Hunter, the man that picks her up would be her nightmare. She is able to escape and when she finds out her Grandmother is sick, she travels home to say her goodbye. What she doesn't know is Hunter, is still looking for her. Seeking help from her friend Nate, she attempts to stay hidden and safe. Can Nate keep her safe from Hunter? Will secrets be revealed? In true Ayala fashion, I took away a few lessons embedded into this gem of a story along with a sweet romance, high thrills and an ice storm to cripple any town!

Tor Thom and Charley Ongel are a team able to narrate any genre given to them. With this story, the inflections of both narrators gave us the fear of the hunt along with young and unconditional love. Their ability to draw us in and make us see and feel the story is impeccable creating a magnificent listen.

Romantic Suspense

This is a different type of story than what I've listened to from Rachelle Ayala before. It's romantic suspense with a theme of forgiveness. Amber was raised in a strict religious family and couldn't wait to leave town when she turned 18 even though she'd be leaving Nate behind. Nate and Amber exchanged dreams of their futures. When Amber left, Nate thought she would end up fulfilling her dreams but she was picked up by an abusive mountain man named Hunter. When she became pregnant, he took her to get an abortion but she escaped and ended up having the baby. She returns home when she finds out that her grandmother is dying. Nate finds out that Amber came back with a baby. He knows how bad that would be if the town found out. He tries to help her but in the meantime Hunter finds them. Will Nate and Amber survive to become a family? Please listen and find out. This is such a wonderful story written by Rachelle Ayala and narrated as a duet by Charley Ongel and Tor Thom.

HODDEN HEART

A GREAT STORY! NARRATOR IS GOOD, GREAT AUTHOR! CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE!
FUN TO LISTEN TO!

sweet story

this is a very sweet story and I loved it a lot this will be one that I will listen to again soon

Romance with suspence

This book had me on the edge of my seat at times. I laughed, I cried and I cheered (OK, that last one was silent) during various parts of this book. From the very first page this book had my full attention and it kept it right to the very end.

Amber and Nate are great lead characters, by the end of the first chapter I couldn't help but want everything to work out for them. The surrounding characters are also well crafted and their strong personalities create some very funny scenes.

All the right feelings are conveyed throughout this book from love, to fear, from tension, to relief and more, it was a journey that took me along for the ride.

The character voices are well done and the two narrators work well together to create a consistent delivery that works well with the story.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

A suspense filled story

This audiobook’s style was a little different to other stories written by this author.
This one is filled with suspense, many twists and turns, and a very evil man.
Amber McKay and Nate Riley were good childhood friends filled with hopes and plans for a future that took them away from their little town and to new adventures.
But life turned out differently and their dreams never materialized. Nate stayed in town and though Amber left home, she hooked up with the wrong man.
Now escaping this man , determined to see her sick grandmother, she disguises herself and returns with her baby.
From that moment on, the action is non-stop. Will Amber escape Hunter, who’s hunting her, or will she lose her battle as well as her child and a future with Nate.
It was an engaging story.
As to the audio, not sure how I like listening to three instead of two POV. That said, the narration was good.

Will the prodigal daughter be welcomed home?

This author always weaves the theme of forgiveness through her books, and this was no exception. The story reminds me of the prodigal son, except this is a girl, and she runs away from her family. That said, like the prodigal son, Amber returns home after a couple of years, mainly because her beloved grandma is dying, but hoping for reconciliation with her family. She returns with lots of baggage...figuratively. You see, Amber was picked up by a fur trapper when she ran away, and was all but held hostage for a year. Since she was from a sheltered home...daughter of a ultra conservative pastor...the 'real' world took some getting used to. When Amber became pregnant, the fur trapper, Hunter, took her to have an abortion, but she ran away. Now she's returned home, with a newborn and nowhere to go. She enlists the help of her childhood friend, Nate, who's a barkeeper and innkeeper. How will Nate react when he realizes that Amber has a baby? Will he ignore small town gossip or send her away? To add some drama...the fur trapper is in town hunting for Amber...will he force her to return to the mountains with him? Lots of action and self examination packed into this relatively short story. The ending was perfect...just the HEA needed after all that Amber has endured. As always, the narration team does an phenomenal job pulling you into the story.
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
