Narrators: Stella Hunter and Connor Crais

Five years ago, Summer Quinn found her cheating boyfriend in a compromising position with her best friend. She packed up and left for Montana, looking to start fresh. She bought her aunt’s flower shop and she’s living a nice, happy life. Then, weird things started happening: a slashed tire here, a shadow lurking there, a strange feeling of being watched. When these things start turning dangerous, she just can’t pass them up as “incidents” anymore. 

Enter Chase Wild, police officer. He’s from the Wild family, who have been living in this town for more than 150 years. This is his town and he won’t rest until he figures out what’s going on. After all, he’s had his eye on the pretty flower shop owner since she moved into town and as they try to figure out what’s happening, they also give in to the mutual attraction. He’s falling harder for her and will do anything to protect her.

Narrated dual style by two of my favorite narrators, Stella Hunter and Connor Crais, this was a joy to listen to and I finished in one sitting. 

I love the town of Bitterroot Valley and the Wilds. Summer is a wonderful character – a woman who’s been doing everything to find her own way into the world and who won’t settle for “less” and Chase Wild is definitely not “less”. Stella plays her to perfection! (Plus, she rocks the male voices too!) Chase wild is your swoony, protective hero and Connor Crais will melt your heart with his performance of the quintessential “alphamellow”. His “touch and her die” moments are, well, to die for.
The suspense doesn’t overshadow the romance and there is a shock in knowing who’s aiding the obvious culprit. That was some twist! (No third act nonsense either!)

I also loved how this book sets up the next one with a beautiful story of found family. I can’t wait to go back to Bitterroot Valley!
Thanks, NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the advanced listen!
