The Woman Left Behind

Misted Pines, Book 4

De: Kristen Ashley

Narrado por: Carly Robins, Dylan Reilly Fitzpatrick

There are two dead bodies in Idaho, and the gun used to kill them has been traced back to a 16-year-old robbery in Misted Pines.

Sheriff Harry Moran has a broken heart and a stack of case files on his desk that the corrupt sheriff who came before him might have bungled.

Or he may have framed innocent people.

The first case Harry dives into, the woman left behind lives just a block away from his office.

When Lillian Rainier opens the door to the sheriff, Harry, who’s been a dead man walking since his wife died, comes back to life.

As for Lillian, she’s had a crush on Harry for forever, Harry showing at her door, and how he is when he does only makes her fall deeper.

As Harry and his team dive into these suspicious cases, Harry and Lillian have to figure out what to do with all they feel for each other, how hard it hits them, and how deep it goes.

But as a voice from the past becomes a witness in the present, and Harry and his crew dig deeper, they sense something sinister happened years ago.

As they weave together the threads of a cold case, they realize how messy it is.

Worse, the man behind the mess is desperately cleaning it up …

And no one in Misted Pines is safe.

Absolutely AMAZING!

Kristen Ashley never fails to make an amazing series even better! The only bad thing about this story is that it ended. Amazing story, amazing characters, amazing voice actors and actresses. 10/10, actually 100/10. I would definitely recommend getting this one!

The narrators brought this story to life perfectly.

I strongly recommend this audiobook to get the most out of these characters and their slow burn love story.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series and this one was no exception. Talk about two people who deserved love. Deserved happiness. A home. Each other. That would be Harry and Lillian.

This story is all about solving murders (yes more than one) while the Sheriff (that would be Harry Moran) falls for the “woman left behind “, Lillian Rainier, whose parents disappeared 16 years ago. There are many twists and turns to the investigation but the heart of this story is Harry and Lillian finding each other. It’s absolutely a gorgeous romance in

Long Last

Great book can’t wait to hear more from these characters. The book had so many dips and the story continued to just get better

Love K.A.

I am a big fan of Kristen Ashley. I was very excited to get this book. This is a situation where the book was good but the narration wasn’t. The female narrator didn’t seem to fit the vibe of the book. She didn’t sell the character and seemed uncomfortable in the romantic scenes. The male narrator was fine. The book could have been great with better narration.

OK, not my favorite

K. A. Is fabulous at creating an in depth story with lots of moving parts. This makes her one of my favorite authors. This book was somewhat similar to “It’s Complicated “ but the characters not nearly as well defined. It’s Complicated is an all time favorite and hard to beat. Narrators were awesome.

AS EXPECTED

good story, not as good as the previous characters.
nice to see Harry have his day. a little difficult to listen to as there are a ton of players my head is swimming.
good narration.

What a wonderful series!

Misted Pines series is the best . Harry & Lillian’ s love story melted my heart. I sure HOPE this series continues !!!

Kristan Ashley never disappoints!

Kristen Ashley seriously never misses when it comes to creating unforgettable characters, and The Woman Left Behind is no different. I’m obsessed with this series. From the first page, I was hooked — the way she mixes strength, vulnerability, passion, and real heart is just unmatched. No one does it like Ashley. Forever my favorite author 💕

Favorite of the series so far!

Misted Pines is a series that just gets better with each book and The Woman Left Behind is my favorite one yet!

Harry has taken over as Sheriff and stuck going through old cases to see if details were missed. It lands him in the home of Lillian whose parents went missing many years ago. Looking to make a cold trail make sense they come across so many things and the story line was such a surprise. I was hooked from the start of this one!

Kristen Ashley at her best!

What is with Kristen Ashley making me cry?!

Okay, it is not like it is the first or second time and to be honest.
It probably won't be the last either.

The Woman Left Behind is a story of loss, grief, heartache and pain. In that loss and pain, comes closure and a hope at a second chance.

Since book one of the Misted Pines series, I have been longing for Harry Moran to get his happily ever after. Once he lost his wife he was stuck in the rut of grief and pain. Much like Lillian Rainier. Grief is a fickle creature and once it gets its claws into you it is almost impossible to get them out. Yet, in the light of something good there is also something very bad plaguing Misted Pines and that draws Lillian and Harry together.

From the moment they meet you can tell these two are destined to be together. They both know what it is like to feel the loss of someone you love. In vastly different ways, but loss is loss and not one person's loss is greater than another's.

As the mystery unfolds you start to see just how much these two mean to one another. Love can happen at any time, even in the midst of a murder investigation.

I've kept the details vague on purpose. One spoiler could ruin this book for someone who hasn't read it, and I won't do that. What I will say is that Misted Pines is some of Kristen Ashley's best work since Colorado Mountain Men.

Carly Robins and Dylan Reilly Fitzpatrick made this story come to life with their narration. I've been a fan of Carly for years, but Dylan is a new narrator for me. I hope to see his name pop up again sometime soon.
