I have been wanting to read this series for a while and my sister gifted the first book for my birthday last year. The first book was a struggle, but I've been enjoying this series overall. Jess is finally growing on me.

This book has two points of view. The first is Sabrina, she has exposed a prominent criminal family with an investigate news report in Seattle, and now she’s facing the backlash. She should be basking in the glory over the success, but instead she is on the run from the man who wants her dead. To stay safe, she’s forced trade one bad situation for another. Stuck in the Montana wilderness, she’s secluded from anything resembling civilization or the modern-day world. The only good thing about her situation is the gorgeous mountain man assigned to protect her. Too bad he’s not interested in a city girl like her. The other point of view is Beau, he likes his life – he is quiet and simple. Give him a peaceful day hiking in the woods with his dog, and he’s a happy man. He has no use for large crowds, noisy cities or dramatic women. So, when a hotshot reporter rolls into town, dragging her big-time problems with her, he should have run for the hills. Instead, he volunteered to keep her safe. Bringing her into his world won’t be easy, but if he can convince her that Montana isn’t as terrifying as she believes, then they might just be the perfect match.

I love the men in this series, the more this series goes on, I am loving this small town. Beau is just the perfect man and doesn’t explode a lot and wants to talk the issues out and have no miscommunication. I love him and how he was like I'm waiting for you and would wait for Sabrina. I loved how much he wanted to show off Sabrina to the town and he couldn’t and would kill anyone who stepped in his way. I love how Sabrina is so confident and tough around everyone else but then breaks down completely around Beau when she is comfortable around him and that he was her safe space. Sabrina needs therapy and even though she did it, I love that she and Beau got a happy ending.

I didn’t rate it five stars because some of the parts were just described rather than performed, it was like something major happened and it was just brushed over. Sabrina only wanted to see how Prescott was, and we didn’t see her reunite with everyone or meet Gigi or going to the Farmhouse.

I liked the action during this book, and it stressed me out and I cannot wait to read Maisy’s story and I want Michael to have his own story as well.

No man would ever hold me this well. I was made to be wrapped in these arms.

The sound of his laughter was a balm to my broken spirit.

I was working toward something, not just sitting idle. I was finding the driven, ambitious woman that had been missing since I’d arrived at the outpost. I was finding me again.

I didn’t want her for right now. I wanted her for always.
