Protect

By: Paisley Hope

Narrated by: Gideon Frost, Samantha Brentmoor

A wildland firefighter reconnects in a second chance romance with his late best friend's sister, the one that got away, in the scorching hot book two in the BookTok viral Sky Ridge Hotshots series.

“Let me be your twin flame, love.”

I walk into the local bar with my hotshot crew, dirty and exhausted, only to slam into my biggest regret. The twin sister of my lost best friend and the one who got away, Violette Taylor. I haven’t seen her in years, but I haven’t forgotten her either.

I used to be Rowan to her. Now, I’m just King, the guy who broke her heart, but not for the reasons she thinks.

Violette, a nurse and single mom, is back in town for good, and working hard to avoid anyone who reminds her of the past, especially a career hotshot like me. But when I fall into her care after an injury lands me in her burn unit, it feels like maybe it’s fate.

I know something she doesn’t--life rarely offers second chances. I need to protect those I love. So, if this is my chance to make things right, I’m taking it.

Another solid 5 star read from Paisley hope

Rowan Kingsley - the man you are! Absolutely adored him. I’m usually not a huge 2nd chance romance trope fan but this one was done so well! I loved the whole book. Finished it within 2 days because I couldn’t stop! Beautiful, surprisingly deep story of love, grief and loss. Spice was great, too as always with paisley hope!

Well done on the audio and story

Samantha Brentmoor is one of my fav FMC narrators. This story is better than the book one and I cried a ton. Well done.

Sweet and touching love story

I loved every minute of this book. Gideon Frost and Samantha Brentmoore were incredible. I cried happy tears and enjoyed Violette and Rowan’s story so much

FAVORITE OF THE SERIES 🫶🏼

This was my first book by Paisley and ohhhhh my goooooodness! I’m a fan, loved the writing and story was perfection!! Rowan and Violette were my favorite couple of the series. I laughed and my heart melted more than once. Rowan has definitely been added to my favorite MMC list 💋 I couldn’t stop listening and when I had to stop I just kept saying “just one more chapter!”
