What impact would it have when everything suddenly faded to black?
For Mia, a crowded subway ride changes her entire life. Retreating to the wilderness helps her cope with a world that is suddenly too loud, too turbulent. Her existence safely contained to the small cottage on the lake, she is unprepared for the neighbor that moves across the bay.
A career-ending injury has Jared permanently benched. His reputation as The Enforcer won’t survive the unanticipated responsibilities awaiting him. Away from the public eye, he adjusts to his new reality, under the quiet observation of the intriguing hermit on the other side of the water.
Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.
This intriguing and smoothly written story immediately drew me in. The pacing is good and the characters are interesting and have a lot of chemistry in this sexually charged story. This is the first audio book I have requested from Netgalley and while I enjoyed the book and the narrators did a great job, the app is difficult to use and needs some work.
When Jared moves into the house across the lake from Mia it changes her life forever. Up until this point, Mia has been content living her life in peaceful solitude. Jared changes everything when he moves in and suddenly Mia’s world is filled with noise and distractions. At first Mia is not happy with Jared and makes some untrue assumptions about him. Mia has demons she is trying to deal with and finds it easiest to keep to herself.
Jared is thirty-nine and a newly retired hockey star. He has led a wild life until now, but is willing to settle down and be there for his sister. Underneath this tough hockey player is a protective guy with a kind heart, who will do anything for those he loves. Jared is so thoughtful and patient with Mia, he stole my heart. Mia intrigues Jared. She is vulnerable and mysterious and completely different from the women he normally comes into contact with.
Jared and Mia have to go through a few hurdles before they can be together. They help each other learn, grow and become better people. Although they are both very different, they have some things in common. I enjoyed Jared and Mia’s story.
