Wow, what a raw and powerful story. Kinsley was desperate to help her father and that made her too vulnerable. Now she is on the run from her abusive and controlling husband. Thanks to the kindness of strangers, she has a new look, and a new life. She can never reveal her secrets if she wants to stay alive. But she didn’t expect to find a wonderful life with good friends and a sexy, determined lover in Ashton Montgomery. Ashton always gets what he wants but doesn’t do relationships. That is until this bold, sweet and sexy woman barged into his office, only to stride out just as quickly. He can’t figure out why she intrigues him so. As they get to know each other, their attraction explodes. But Ashton feels that Kinsley has secrets she won’t reveal and he doesn’t think he can be patient enough to wait for answers. These secrets are tearing Kinsley apart as well and could end up breaking both their hearts. This is a poignant and moving story that is so hard to read at times but Harms tackles this sensitive subject matter with empathy and honesty. Narrator Sarah Puckett has the perfect voice for this story. She makes each character come alive, allowing me to feel all their complex emotions like fear, anticipation, passion and love. This is a great start to the Montgomery Men series. I really liked Ashton’s brothers who were so supportive and intriguing. I can’t wait to listen to their stories next!
