Love Me Fierce

A Small Town Suspense Romance (Love Me Dangerous, Book 4)

De: Dakota Davies

Narrado por: Gregory Salinas, Jill Smith

An all new suspense romance from USA Today bestselling author Dakota Davies featuring a woman on the run and the small town cop who breaks all the rules to protect her.

It’s been a year since a serial killer put my small town on the map. A year of chasing my tail in an investigation of dead ends and false leads while the families wait for justice. When the killer strikes again, I’m drawn into a desperate race against time to stop him once and for all.

It's hard enough balancing being a single dad with running a high-stakes murder case without adding the distraction that is Vivian Walsh. I only meant to help her get to safety during a freak blizzard, but the temptation to find out more about her won’t let me rest. Maybe it’s her lightning-bolt smile and how beautifully she cares for her adorable son, or maybe it’s her quiet strength. Or maybe I’m just drawn to problems I can’t fix. Because it quickly becomes clear that Vivian is keeping secrets, the kind I know better than to tangle with.

But secrets have a way of breaking to the surface, and just as my investigation takes a shocking turn, bringing me closer to the truth, Vivian’s past returns, threatening not just her safety, but the fragile trust we’re building.

Protecting her will mean breaking all the rules. Will we survive unscathed?

Love Me Fierce is a standalone small town romantic suspense novel and book 4 in the unforgettable Love Me Dangerous series.

“You’ve made me feel strong again.”

I can't believe I was wrong about who the killer was. That took me by surprise. I had so much fun with this story. Dakota Davies once again had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The casting for this story changed from the first 3 in the series, but Gregory Salinas and Jill Smith were absolutely fantastic.

I loved how Everett and Vivian's relationship developed. It gives sort of an enemies-to-lovers vibe, but it is not quite as simple as "enemies". And to be honest, Vivian's reservations towards Everett are completely valid given her history.

One thing I really loved about this story was the relationship between the boys and the bond they created. It was so sweet and endearing. I also really enjoy Everett's family dynamics and how they accepted everyone into their bunch with open arms.

Quote: “I tried so hard not to want you. I had closed off so much of myself. I had to. But when I met you, something changed. I can’t explain it. At first, I didn’t want to trust it, but little by little, I’ve started to.”

Couldn’t Stop Listening!

With each book I fall in love with this series more and more! The characters, the town and suspense mixed in always has me locked in and I can’t stop listening! Love Me Fierce is all this and more!

Vivian is a such a strong character, she’s truly amazing! She’s a single mom who moves to Finn River with her son Matteo to start over and move on from her ex husband. She meets Everett and it’s tense due to her mistrust of cops.

Everett is juggling being a single Dad and trying to solve a murder case. He can’t afford any distraction but the. He meets Vivian and feels instant attraction.

I truly LOVED this book. Everett and Vivian keep ending up in the same place and have great chemistry! This book will have a hold on you and you won’t want to let it go! The characters growth and this beautiful story is definitely one of my favorites! The suspense had me on edge as well! I definitely recommend this book and if you haven’t check out the rest of the series because it is so worth it!!

Gregory Salinas and Jill Smith were absolutely fantastic as Everett and Vivian!! They brought so much to these characters and told the story well!

Thrilling, emotional and steamy romance!

Love Me Fierce is a thrilling, intriguing, intense, and steamy listen/read! I loved the mystery and drama included around Vivian and Everett's romance that kept things exciting and had me hooked the entire time! Vivian Reece came to Finn River with her son, Mateo for a fresh start, after leaving her dirty cop husband. Everett, is a local police officer trying to find a serial ki!!er, while struggling to raise his son, Logan. From their first meeting, Vivian and Everett have a strong attraction, but she has trust issues with him being an officer, and he's too busy to be consumed by her. Their chemistry is so strong, they are helpless to deny it. As their connection grows stronger, they start to build a sweet family together. As they get closer to finding the ki!!er, their lives are also in jeopardy. This story is breathtaking, poignant, and steamy, with just enough suspense and mystery that kept me totally engaged, trying to figure out what would happen next. I fell so hard for Vivian and Everett, who are both strong, protective and caring, along with both of their sons who were adorable, adding so much heart to this story.
Gregory Salinas and Jill Smith do a terrific job capturing each characters personality. Their voice changes and intonations make you feel all the terror, anger, joy and passion that these characters felt, completely immersing me in this thrilling, emotional and steamy romance!

One of my favorite of the series!

Dakota Davies does an incredible job marrying romance and suspense together in an all consuming, captivating story. I knew from their interaction during the accident that we were in for a treat with Everett and Vivian. The suspense will keep you guessing until the bad guy is revealed, all while your heart gets attached to these two single parents finding their way to one another while surrounded by danger. He's an overprotective cop that thinks she's hiding something, but can't fight his feelings towards her, and she's a single mom starting over after running from a traumatic marriage to a cop.

Just when you think all the cards are stacked against an HEA, Dakotah Davies ties everything up with a pretty bow and delivers the ending I was yearning for as a listener.

Gregory Salinas and Jill Smith brought this story and these characters to life in such an emotional and realistic way that I could not stop listening. Gregory captured the growly, overprotective hero (but a little bit of a lover boy) in Everett, while Jill captured the emotions and anxious energy from Vivian. They were a remarkable duo for this story and couple and I loved every bit of their storytelling.

Wonderful Story

Dakota Davies has written another story that I was so invested in, and I didn't want it to end.. The way that she weaves a story with suspense, love, and friendships is something to enjoy.

When I saw this was going to be Everette's story, I was so excited! I love getting a story of the man who is quiet and keeps to himself. Plus, add in a man in uniform, and I am all in!
He is kind and has so many layers to him. The best part is the way he is with his son Logan! I swear their moments melted my heart.
Vivian is a single mom with secrets. The way she will do anything to protect her son shows the strength and kind of woman she is.

These two have a story you will love and enjoy from the first page until the last. I was so in love with the kids in the story and the sweetness of them.

The audio was a great listen and thorough enjoyed from start to finish.
Gregory Salinas has a voice that is perfect for Everette! He has this way of making the story flow seamlessly. I always enjoy his voice when he changes it for the kids in the story.
Jill Smith is a new to me narrator, and I am so glad I got a chance to listen to her. Jill has a voice that I thought fit Vivian the best. She has a way of making her voice fit the storyline.

If you could listen to this book, I would recommend it! It can be read as a standalone.
