The last thing I expected when I found the trespasser bathing in my river was for it to be her…

Daisy Adair has always been my dream girl. From when we were best friends in high school to finding her now.
A gorgeous mother who shows up on my property with three kids in tow.
But I became a recluse for a reason.
The life I chose is full of wickedness and peril. The last thing I need is the object of my every fantasy invading my space and risking her life because of me.
Only when she tells me she’s on the run from her ex, I promise to do anything to keep them safe, even marry her to protect her kids.
That single kiss at the altar rips through every barrier, our passion unleashed.
Now, living under the same roof blurs the lines I’ve drawn.
Each glance of her down the hall and I am splintering.
Each brush of her hand and I am brought to my knees.
Our future—bright, hopeful, and almost within reach—hovers on the edge of becoming real…
Until we discover the threat surrounding her is grimmer than either of us imagined.
Now I’m fighting to save her and her children before our second chance at forever is burned to the ground…

 

Such a dramatic and heartfelt conclusion to an amazing series! Book 5 in Jackson’s Moonlit Ridge series finally gives us some answers of why Cash is the way he is. His backstory is powerful and emotional and brings so much depth into the series. Daisy is a sweetheart and I loved her from the very start. Her kiddos are so adorable and added so much joy into their painful storyline. We get a glimpse into the past throughout the book every other chapter or so which isn’t exactly my favorite method of storytelling, but for them it worked without feeling broken up. There’s quite a twist at the end that I wasn’t expecting at all. I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a morally gray hero who finds love that he never was looking for but couldn’t deny once it hit. They’re a found family who step up for each other on the regular and love so very hard. Great series with lots of turmoil, danger, emotion and passion. I’m looking forward to seeing the guys again down the road!

All Birdee Calvert wanted was to be normal.

She wanted the parents who didn’t divorce when she was a kid and make her life a living nightmare. She wanted the sisters who actually liked her. She wanted to live in a town where everyone loved her and didn’t have a single bad thing to say about her.

That was not the life Birdee was given.

She had the exact opposite life. The kind of life where she slunk through the grocery store with a hoodie on so no one would recognize her. The kind of life where men like Creed Daugherty didn’t give her a second look.

After years of abuse and heartache, she built walls. Big, huge, thick ones that no one could ever breach. If she didn’t put forth the effort to get to know someone, she couldn’t be hurt.

At least, that was the theory.

She never counted on Creed Daugherty hitting her with his truck. Then, deciding that once he entered her life, he would never leave it.

Though Birdee should’ve known that Creed was too good to be true.

All it takes is one mistake on her part, and Creed freezes her out. Then forces the rest of the town to make it almost impossible for her to live in Sawtooth, Montana, anymore.

Birdee only thought it couldn’t get worse.

But Creed makes sure to show her that it can and will.

The thing about rock bottom?

Once you’re there, you have nothing else to lose.

And Creed Daugherty just made himself enemy number one.

 

Dramatic and scandalous but oh so good! The second book in Vale’s Don’t Date Him series is Birdee’s story, and if you read the first book in the series you never would have thought that you’d be able to like her, but I adored her and felt so bad for her and how everyone treated her … even her step-sister Mable who I loved in book one. I’m kinda pissed at her now in all honesty.  Anyway … the plot is thick with tension as she meets Creed and falls hard once all is said and done between them. He’s great, even though he riles her up during a small stretch of time. I wasn’t expecting a few of the twists, and enjoyed the book wholeheartedly. I can’t wait to see what else these guys have in store for us in the series. Well developed, attention grabbing from start to finish and filled with heart and emotion! Highly recommend to anyone who loves their romance filled with tension, passion and twists of secrets and lies. Can’t wait for the next in the series!
