Back-dropped by the hustle of New York City, the political world of Washington, D.C. and the pastoral scenery of the Finger Lakes, CJ tries to protect her charges, while Aidan tries to persuade her to let him into her life.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 119
I am not okay. Fifteen months ago, the plane I was piloting went down. Injured and trapped in the wreckage, I had to watch my fiancée die a painfully slow death, which is something that can really mess with your head. Since that day, I’ve had little desire to do much of anything. Except play hockey, that is. But off the ice, I’m spiraling out of control. Now, thanks to a string of bad decisions, I’ve been ordered to complete therapy in order to stay on the team. The problem? Nora Wayne, my beautiful and somewhat unconventional therapist.

Gorgeous women don’t just stumble onto Ronan Cross’s remote property. But this one - vulnerable, victimized, and needing the kind of help only Ronan can offer - tells a story that makes his blood boil almost as hot as his need to protect her. Since her father’s death, Chloe Harris has become a prisoner. Her own brother, a flesh peddler and low-level player in the Denver Mafia, is forcing her to sell her body for an endgame Chloe never saw coming: control over a vast fortune. Her only way out is to run - straight into the arms of the one hard-bodied man she can trust.

It Had To Be You: Hidden Cover Series, #5
What made the experience of listening to It Had to Be You the most enjoyable?
Just hearing the story made it so real for me. I could visualize very easily the firehouse, the fires, etc in the story.
What other book might you compare It Had to Be You to and why?
All the books in this series are similar but have very different story lines. The lives of the firefighters are the focus and these stories just bring them to life. I've never thought about what these men and women do so vividly as I do now after reading this series.
Which character – as performed by Jeffrey Kafer – was your favorite?
I loved Beckett. He was so strong, caring, broken but determined to do the right thing no matter what.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
He was broken, she was hurt, could they fix each other!
Any additional comments?
It Had To Be You is my favorite in this entire series. I loved Beckett! By hearing this story read out loud it seemed I could almost feel the pain Beckett and Lela felt because he wanted her and she just couldn't deal with another man with PSTD but love won out! I don't think our military or firefighter or cops get the support and praise that they so deserve for their service!

Love these firefighter audios
An emotional listen but a good one. Love this firefighter series. Narration is excellent!
Live Kafers voice in these books.
This series feels the most realistic firefighter books I’ve read. Thats what I live about these! Author is not afraid to tackle tough subjects either. Follows the firehouse, their love interests, and their families.
