Can They Overcome Their Pasts & Find Happiness Together?
Melanie lives with her ailing dad on top of a mountain in Montana. They are struggling with his medical bills whilst hiding away from a trauma that Mel suffered four years ago when she was kidnapped by a psycho and he tried to rape her. She has graduated with a degree in early child care and is driving back home up the mountain in terrible weather when her car skids off the road and with no phone signal she is stuck. However, she spots a cabin that she knew nothing about and it seems to be inhabited so she struggles in the snow to get there. Evan has lived up there since his ex girlfriend had an affair with his supposed friend and co founder of their tech company. But when he found out of their affair he was kicked out of his own company and with a pittance of what it was truly worth. So he lives up there with his niece and nephew after his brother and sister-in-law died. Hadley and Liam are adorable children and as soon as Mel is invited into their home they start being calm [the day started badly as their nanny couldn’t come back] so Evan is relieved that she is there to help him and he offers her a job looking after them as their nanny. All are happy with the arrangement and the children want a mum again and they think Mel would be perfect. Evan and Mel obviously both have trust issues but are also very attracted to one another. Will they trust one another to reveal their secrets and how will Evan react when he finds out that her life is in danger? A fantastic suspenseful romantic story by Rye Hart that is a unique storyline. With such wonderful characters as Mel and Evan. Both have been through so much trauma that was non of their own doing. The chemistry between them is sky high and such a passion that would be a crime to ignore as the feelings between them grow and it’s rare to get such powerful emotions between two people who both deserve so much happiness. I loved the way they both interacted with Hadley and Liam and when trouble comes calling again, Evan is right there with her to protect and love her with everything he has. So tender, protective, sensual and a romance with such passions that is all woven through the pages so beautifully by Rye. Her gift of the written word is so powerful and strong that she captures your imagination at page one in this real page turner and kept me reading, and losing sleep, till I’d finished the story – but it was well worth the lack of sleep. A passionate and strong must read that I will be re-reading in the future as it’s so good. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
