Publisher's summary

Someone is watching me. Luckily, my mountain man is watching over me.

Hope:

I didn’t think they would find me here. I moved to the small town of Whiskey River three months ago, hoping I would finally be safe from my past. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I can breathe easier.

Then I meet the mountain man who makes my breath quicken. And my heart race.

He’s my protector–safe in his strong arms.

But my past is coming for me…and he might end up paying the price.

Cash:

The tracks along the treeline were my first clue. I might not have experience with women, but I know my way around the woods. And Hope is not safe living out here alone.

And I’m pretty sure that’s my fault.

Her stalker knows I have money, and that I’ll pay any price to keep the woman I love safe from harm.

But what her stalker doesn’t know is that I plan on making them pay instead.

Hooked!

I loved that this was a shorter book that hooked me in from the very start! I listened to this is one sitting because I wanted to know what was gonna do down. I really enjoyed the plot, the characters and of course the audio performance itself. The narrators did a great job portraying these characters!

Good listen

Sexy motivating dreamy of what wilderness life could be. Men that actually need & want their one woman. Gives a universal sense of what we all dream about

Almost Unbearable Narration

The female narrator sounds like a drunk, old has-been southern bell when speaking as the main character. I almost couldn’t continue after the first chapter. But I like this series, so I forced myself to finish it. The male narrator has a nice voice but his loud and frequent intakes of breath are distracting. Of course, we all need to breathe, but I’ve never noticed this in any other audio book before. I wish I had listened to the sample before I bought this, because I never would have. I would have gotten the hard copy.

Sweet Romance, and Suspense

This is the third book in the Mountain Men of Whiskey River series. This is a series of interconnected stories. Cash and Hope's story is sweet, and heartwarming, filled with mystery, and suspense. Elizabeth Russell and Bryant Walker did a good job bringing this story to life. Looking forward to listening to Take Me To The Mountain, the next book in the series. #PFPAudio

Mountain man romance with a touch of suspense

I listened to the audio version of this book. Although this book is in a series, it could be read as a standalone. This book is about Hope and Cash. Hope is pretty new to town and meets Cash. Cash is a burly mountain man who had never been in a grocery store until he met Hope. Hope and Cash strike up a quick relationship. There are a few hiccups along the way. Hope has a stalker and Cash will do anything to keep Hope safe. The stalker turns out to be someone Hope knows. Cash and Hope just fit together. Hope appreciated Cash's mountain lifestyle. Quick story and good if you like protective mountain men with a touch of suspense.

Moves quickly at a good pace

This is the third in this series. It seemed to go quickly and moved at a good pace. I enjoyed meeting Hope and getting to know a bit more about Cash. I wish it had a little more depth to it bit still a good listen. I enjoyed seeing the previous characters pop up in here as well as seeing Hope’s life in town.

I did listen to this on audio. Elizabeth Russell and Bryant Walker are the narrators. They both did a wonderful job.

Another great hot, respectful mountain man

   I am very pleased with this third novella (5.5 hours long) in this Whiskey River series.  In addition to having a pair of perfect narrators, I love the main characters in this book, Hope and Cash, both about 22 years old.  Cash had been briefly introduced in previous books, but you can still read this one as a standalone.  Hope is a city girl from Georgia who loves the little Montana town that she just moved to.  I love the meet-cute and the sweet relationship development.  The obstacles in their relationship were realistic, and I love the slice of life in the Montana wilderness.  I got slightly bored in the middle of the book, but the suspense/action near the end was exciting enough for me to give this audiobook 5 stars.

   Some included tropes: mountain man, billionaire, virgin guy.  This novella has moderate steaminess (certainly less steamy than Book #1).

   Trigger warning: brief and mild deer hunting.  Also stalking, illegal drugs, and brief violence done by minor character(s).

   I loved the excellent narration by Elizabeth Russell and Bryant Walker.  I quite enjoyed Elizabeth Russell’s Georgia drawl for Hope, and the male narrator did a pretty good job at Hope’s voice.  The female narrator was very versatile at all the men’s and women’s  voices.  Bryant Walker has a wonderful sexy, gravelly voice for the hero.  Both narrators made the book really come alive.

   I requested and received a free audio copy, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.  #PFPAudio #PinkFlamingoProductions #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam

Loved the story

While I loved the story, I couldn’t get past the voice of the female narrator, she sounded like she belonged in a brothel. I moved to the next audio book and purchased this in kindle app to read instead.

The Journey Continues

I am in absolute love with this series! Of course, the more steamy scenes tingle even my skin, but more than that, the clarity of the writing…the storyline and character development…it’s just done SO well!! I genuinely feel as though, if the characters were real, they’d be who I want in my life- it’s a sort of friendship & community my soul strives to create & be a part of. Also! The narrators are AMAZING as per always!! It’s another pattern of brilliance having a different pair of narrators for each book - everything flows well and just “fits”. (Also, yay for Emily & Axel!)
On to book 4!!!

Just okay

I like previous book better. This was just okay for me because I couldn’t find the chemistry between them and the way she got mad at him and he her for no reason was just crazy. Elizabeth and Bryant did an excellent job at narrating
