One man wants her dead.

Another will do anything to protect her.

Firefighter Kenzie Hughes never thought saving lives would make her a target. When someone rigs her car and sexy Stephen Galway offers to be her bodyguard, the flames of danger burn red-hot. Stephen lost his fiancée to violence years ago, but he can’t resist Kenzie. Can he keep Kenzie safe and out of his arms when they’re forced to confront what they fear most?

Suspense filled and deeply moving! I really enjoyed the next book in the Escape Club Heroes series. We’re always guaranteed an in depth mystery when the people associated with this club are involved and this one was no different. From the start of the book we’re drawn into the plight of a female firefighter who has been targeted in a string of happenings. We soon meet the man who is going to keep her safe.

Firefighter Kenzie Hughes saved a man’s life in a fire, and now she’s suddenly the target of his wrath. Incident after incident continue to happen that jeopardizes the career she adores.

Mechanic Stephen Galway starts out doing a favor for his brother, and ends up taking such a liking to Kenzie that he doesn’t want to leave her safety up to anyone else. He won’t let this guy get to her, no matter what the cost!

When keeping things strictly business isn’t an option…

Keeping secrets is the only one!

There’s a new bachelor in town, knocking lawyer Abby Hartman off her game. Scotsman Duncan Stewart, her client’s sexy grandson, should be off-limits—but certainly a brief, mind-blowing affair wouldn’t be too terrible. Things heat up…way too fast. And when a family crisis reveals Abby’s true identity, they must choose between keeping their fling temporary or making a permanent merger!

Sexy, sassy and sweet! With the second book in the Highland Heroes duet, we get Duncan’s story. In the first book his brother Brody found his true love and went home to the Isle of Skye to start their life together, leaving Brody to come to America to stay with their elderly, recently widowed grandmother. Things don’t wind up exactly as he envisioned, and he quickly finds himself enchanted with a local. She’s smart and oh so feisty … and just what he needs to take his mind off his troubles!

Duncan Stewart isn’t overly happy about having to uproot his Scottish lifestyle to move to Candlewick, NC, but he’d do just about anything for the Granny that he adores, so here he is. On his first visit to the law office that handles his grandmother’s affairs, things start looking up as soon as he lays eyes on voluptuously sexy Abby Hartman!

Abby doesn’t work with his grandmother directly, however it’s still a little off kilter for her to agree to a date with a client of the firm’s grandson … but that smile, that accent, those eyes! What’s a gal to do? When secrets come out of the woodwork, their fling could all be over in the blink of an eye!

* Review * ALASKAN HIDEAWAY by Beth Carpenter

* Review * ALASKAN HIDEAWAY by Beth Carpenter

Alaskan Hideaway by Beth Carpenter
Series: A Northern Lights Novel

He traveled 3,800 miles to be alone

…but is it what he really wants?

Relocating to Alaska after a family tragedy seemed an ideal way for author R.D. “Mac” Macleod to grieve in peace. But solitude feels overrated when Mac’s around B&B owner Ursula Anderson and her orphaned goddaughter, Rory, who’s already bonding with his dog. Worse, he’s imagining a future with Ursula and Rory. Is it time to finally forgive himself?

Heart-wrenchingly emotional! With the next book in her Northern Lights series, Beth Carpenter takes us into the heart of a man who has lost his motivation in the world. He thinks all he needs is to hole up and be alone, but when he’s challenged again and again by a pushy neighbor and her adorable goddaughter, he actually sees the world brightening up a bit. There are a couple of story lines melding together to complete this story, and both are emotional and sad, but there’s also an amazing connection between this man, woman and child that makes you hope against hope for the healing they all need. A really great read!

R.D. *Mac* Macleod needs to be alone. An accomplished author for years, Mac no longer has an inspiration to open his laptop, much less try to meet the next deadline looming. He’s lost the one person who was most dear to him … and he’s consumed with a soul crushing guilt that he can’t get past. He leaves his home and heads to Alaska where he can live on his own without people bothering him … only it doesn’t take long for a pesky neighbor to come knocking!

B & B owner Ursula Anderson knows loss, and when she gets to know Mac and sees how overcome he is with his despair, she’s not sure she can help him. But being around Ursula and the adorable little girl she’s raising brightens Mac’s demeanor. Can the life she can offer truly be enough for this man or will he continue to let his perceived failure eat away at him?
