Blood and Muscle

De: Elle Alexanda

Narrado por: Abby Craden

What would you do if the life you knew was stripped away in a single night?

Ava Bedford's quiet existence in Nevada shatters when she becomes the sole witness to a brutal murder linked to rising political star Congressman Richard Callahan. Forced into witness protection, Ava is relocated to Cedar Falls, a rugged Wyoming town nestled in the shadow of towering mountains. But even in this peaceful haven, danger lurks—and it's never far behind.

Sheriff Lou Harman thrives on the steady rhythm of Cedar Falls, her days spent keeping the peace and seeking solace with her horses. She's built her life around control and self-reliance, so when Ava arrives with her sharp wit and disarming openness, Lou's carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. What starts as a duty to protect soon blossoms into an undeniable connection, forcing both women to confront feelings they never expected.

But as shadows from Ava's past creep closer, trust proves to be as fragile as it is vital. Together, Ava and Lou must decide how much they're willing to risk for a chance at the life—and love—they've both been searching for.

Blood and Muscle is a thrilling yet tender sapphic romance about resilience, trust, and the courage to build something lasting in uncertain times.

Blood and Muscle

I had this on my shelf for a while. lG reviews were great, the cover was pretty, and it sounded really interesting.

It was better than I expected! Love when that happens🥰

The story was great, the writing was good, the characters were amazing! Ava and Lou's chemistry at first was a little charged. But as the story went and their relationship developed, it turned into something more tender and very intimate. Throw in the witness protection thing and you have quite exciting romance. I will be reading this again!

Abby Craden... don't really have to say much else👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

aceptional progression of characters

would have liked more suspense during the capture of Ava and her fighting off Victor.

Little bit of mystery and a lot of love

The plot was original, the mystery light, and the love story was a sweet slow burn. A.C. always shines as the narrator. All and all it was a really good listen. Two thumbs 👍🏾 up
