I am about to lose everything.
My home. My name. My future.
My husband was involved in something that could cost us our lives, and on his deathbed, he demands my daughter and I flee Britain. I had no idea he found her biological father, Holden James, in Rose Canyon, and that’s where we’d start over.
The moment we see each other, feelings I’d long forgotten rush over me. Holden doesn’t hesitate to care for us. We find ourselves reaching for each other, even when we should hold back. His smile warms me, his arms protect me, and against my better judgment, I fall for him. All the possibilities of a future are threatened by a looming past.
I’m being hunted, and it’s just a matter of time before someone finds me guilty of crimes I didn’t commit. Whatever trouble my husband was involved in won’t evade me forever.
I am trying to keep my promise and stay for Holden, but I don’t know how long it’ll be before we have to run.
My name was Sophie Pearson, but I vanished, just like my hope to ever find love again.
OMG….I really enjoyed this one (not as much as Spencer and Brie…but close). We’ve heard the stories about what happened during Isaac’s bachelor party, but it seems that Dr. James has found fun following him home.
If you’re new to this series, each romance is standalone but a suspense arc runs through all three. With Holden and Sophie’s story, we get the conclusion to that arc. There are some surprises and some old friends that show up that makes this one of my all-time favorites. Romantic suspense drew me to Corinne Michaels and she’s at her best here.
Sophie and Holden’s romance I would categorize as a second chance romance (if you can count a bathroom stall as the first attempt). For a guy who didn’t think he wanted or was capable of the love his friends had, he proved very quickly that he was. I loved his protective side, his partnership with Sophie and how he’d do anything for those he cared the most about. Spencer set a pretty high bar and Holden almost made it.
This was a great read and one I recommend highly. The author managed to get me out of my high fantasy binge for a day and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a book (and series) that you must run to get on release day.
