Hideaway Heart

Cherry Tree Harbor, Book 2

De: Melanie Harlow

Narrado por: Patrick Zeller, Amanda Stribling

All I wanted was a break–two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and 14 days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan.

But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family refuses to let me go anywhere alone, and I’m stuck sharing this tiny cabin with a tall, dark, and bearded bodyguard.

And guess what? There’s only one bed.

Well, he can couch it.

Xander Buckley might be hotter than a stolen blow torch, and I get that he’s a former Navy SEAL and all, but the man gives new meaning to the words overbearing, overprotective, bossy alpha male. I can’t even post a photo on social media without him warning me it’s not safe or take a morning jog without him following behind.

But he’s made it clear that what he says goes, and if I don’t like it, I can kiss my vacation good-bye.

Instead, I end up kissing him.

I don’t even know how it happened–one minute we were at each other’s throats, the next we were at each other’s mercy. What’s even more shocking is how good we are together. He understands my need for freedom, and I understand his need for control.

But emotional trust doesn’t come easily to me. And we’re on two completely different paths.

Without question, I’d put my life in his hands.

Just don’t ask me to give him my heart.

.... a perfect match of the heart.

The thrill of the chase is a perfect match of the heart. From the unpredictable to the unconventional, Hideaway Heart is a frustrating delight. Harlow pulls emotions in every direction with a deliciously, tempting wild ride. Xander and Kelly are caught in a masquerade that quickly spins out of control with irresistible results.

Great love story

This is a wonderful addition to this series. It can be a stand alone and not miss anything. Kelly and Zander were perfect. I'm looking forward to the next book. Patrick Zeller and Amanda Stribling were fantastic narrators.

They had me at the 1 line chapters

It was the 1 line Xander chapters for me.

I’m still listening and this is an early review but I know my rating won’t change.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

Not quite as good as Austin’s story

This story definitely had some great parts but it didn’t draw me in like Run Away Love did. I had a hard time with the voice and accent of the female narrator. It was too strong and pronounced and sounded almost childish. I liked the male narrator fine. I hope we get to hear additional Buckley siblings stories 🤞

Cute, Sweet, Unique

I loved this book so much! It was a different kind of romance story while still fitting the “norm”.

One bed, forced proximity, good friend’s little sister.

But Zander is a big, buff, broody former Navy Seal and Kelly Jo is a country music good girl who is just a shade on the naive side.

Zander helps her come out of her soft naive shell and see the world a little more clear while teaching her to harden herself/stand up for what feels right to her.

She helped soften his edges and see what real love feels like. He grew up parents who adored each other and he watched his older brother whom was equally stoic and closed off as he is find a healthy relationship after a bitter one with his children’s mother and Veronica also walked out on an unhealthy relationship right into Austin’s world. Turned both of their perspectives topsy turvy.

HOWEVER Zander didn’t fully appreciate that until that feeling hit his own gut and reality started to sink in.

I LOVED that she said “I love you” first ❤️❤️

This beautiful book was narrated by Patrick Zellar and Amanda Stribling! They were so perfect for these characters it’s not even funny!

I was a little unsure about Patrick at first but he just settled in and for like a second skin.

Celebrity & Bodyguard ❤️

I loved this so much! This was the first I heard of these narrators and they did so good! I loved the accent of the female she was perfect for Kelly’s character.

I loved the book so listening to the audiobook was a treat. Wonderful narration.

Zander and Kelly (Pixie Heart) are total opposites. Enemies to lovers. A reluctant body guard to a Nashville singer. It’s all a delicious, fun, romantic story.

Great story

5 Star Review Hideaway Heart (Cherry Tree Harbor #2) by Melanie Harlow

Having read and loved the first book in Ms. Harlow’s latest Cherry Tree Harbor series I was excited to read Hideaway Heart. It was a wonderful addition to the series.

What a wonderful story this was. I loved Pixie Hart (aka Kelly Jo Sullivan) and former Navy Seal Xander Buckley. I was totally invested from the first to the last chapter.

Hideaway Heart is a wonderfully written story of love and romance. All Kelly wanted was to take a step back from the chaos that is her career and now she finds herself in a cabin with her broody and most definitely alpha bodyguard.

Xander knows that he should stay away from Kelly but the heart wants who the heart wants. The connection between them was real and the chemistry sizzled. Their journey was sweet, passionate, funny and romantic.

This was a wonderful story that left me with a smile on my face. The narrators certainly did justice to the characters and the wonderful story that the author created.both Patrick Zeller and Amanda Stribling were easy to listen to and brought the characters to life for me.
 

Amazing.

I needed this story, I was struggling to finish the previous book I ‘be read, Hide Away Heart was exactly what I wanted. Kelly and Zander started as sort of enemies but the chemistry between them was fire. The story flowed effortlessly, the banters had me laughing, Zander’s extended family brought so much to the story too. I adored the Buckley’s, they were a fun bunch. Amazing story, this author never disappoint me with her books.

Great book

Second book in the series. Bodyguard romance that takes place in a small town. Enjoyed the story and narrators!
