When Kiera West needs a place to hide from the media and her ex, she never thought Bodhi Ashford—the man the small town of Ashford Creek once thought a murderer—would be her salvation.
The reclusive, bearded, mountain man has secrets of his own and with one growl, she knew she’d be safe. Sure, he might only talk to her to ask who hurt her, but at least the quiet will let her heal.
When the elusive drummer from one of the biggest rock bands in the world shows up on Bodhi’s doorstep, he needs her to leave yesterday. As soon as he sees the bruises, he knows she needs to stay.
A fire took everything from him once, and the town he thought he could trust turned on him before he could grieve. Falling for a woman in the spotlight is the last thing he needs.
Yet it might be the one thing that could save them both when the darkness of their pasts finally catches up with them.
Quick to catch your attention and addictive throughout! The next book in Ryan’s Ashford Creek series is Bodhi’s story. We knew coming in that it was going to be a bit heart-wrenching, but we didn’t know exactly what had happened to him previously in life. He meets his match when temptation comes hiding out on his property in the form of rockstar drummer Kiera West. Both characters have angst in their life whether it be happening at the current time, or previously that draw the reader in and have us turning page after page to see what’s going to happen. I enjoyed them very much, but I did feel like they both could have been fleshed out a bit more to truly show the meat of both of their back stories. I was satisfied with them, I just see some potential for true greatness had we gotten to feel more turmoil. Great characters, angsty goodness and a heartfelt happily ever after in the end. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
