Hitting the Wall

A Stonecut County Romance

By: Cate C. Wells

Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro Foster, Michael Gallagher

She's not a secret. She's a second chance.

Shay
Six years ago, the good, upstanding men of Stonecut County ran me off. I took a secret with me. An inconvenient truth they wanted buried.

Actions have consequences. Their perfect golden boy maybe wasn't so perfect after all.

When life hands me one too many lemons, I'm forced to go back, and in Stonecut, nothing ever changes.

Kellum Wall is still golden. I'm still unwanted. And being swayed by his cocksure smile will most certainly ruin my life all over again.

Kellum
I believe there are still good men left in this world, and I strive to be one. I was raised to live by a code. God and country. Protect and serve.

I always do the right thing, even when it's hard--and yet, somehow, I've made an unforgivable mistake.

I want what I lost. The woman, the child, the white picket fence. But it's not gonna come easy.

Shay's a survivor. She doesn't believe in happy ever after, and earning her trust might be the hardest thing I've ever done.

She's got my heart in her hands, though, and this time--I'm not letting her slip through my fingers.

Hitting the Wall is a steamy, small town romance featuring a secret baby and a second chance at love. It is the first book in the Stonecut County series. It is intended only for adult listeners.

HEA guaranteed.

A great intro to an underrated series

It took me a little time to get adjusted to Kellum’s actor’s voice but as time went on, both actors really nailed the angst and affection that they had to go through. Thank you Kellum for being a MMC that actually stands by and defends his family. I also LOVE Against A Wall so highly recommend that if you liked this!

Amazing!!!

I loved this book and the audio along with the book was a chefs kiss to listen to and read. This book was one of my first books I read by Cate C. Wells and I demoted this book in a day. So when the audio came out and found out it was two of my favorite narrators narrating tours book I was excited. They did an amazing job bringing this book to life. I enjoyed listening to this book and have listened to this audio several times!!! I loved the life both narrators breasted into this book. They filled this audio with feeling and brought all the characters to life beautifully. I love this series and this book will always hold a spot in my top 5 favorite books by Cate C. Wells and this audio is in this same spot.

Thought provoking

Cate C. Wells stories are consistently masterfully written, layered with complexity and vulnerability. She brillantly pulls you into her Stonecut County world from the very first page. Hitting the Wall is no exception.

It's thought-provoking, heartbreaking and basically a roller coaster of emotions. This story drips with secrets and lies, class disparities, twists and turns, healing, forgiveness and horrific family drama.

Kelsey Navarro Foster and Michael Gallagher for me didn't convey the emotional nuances of Kellum and Shay.

Has me bawling at 4 am. 5 stars forever

HITTING THE WALL by Cate C. Wells ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Could not put this down. Literally read until I passed out at 6 am from exhaustion.
Bawled my eyes out at 4 am. I feel like a changed person. I recommend all of Cate's books but this one is moving up on the list!! I’ve already reread it like 3 times!
