𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐔𝐬 is the 4th book in the new Timberbridge Brothers series by Claudia Burgoa, featuring a heart-wrenching and suspenseful second chance for Keir Timberbridge and Dr. Simone Moreau. It’s been 20 years since he left her behind and shattered her heart, and now he’s back in dramatic fashion, under her care after she literally saved his life. Claudia Burgoa has another winner on her hands with this one! The raw emotion, angst, secrets and lies, compelling plot twists, and the riveting overarching suspense plot that has been unfolding throughout the series kept me glued to this story!! I loved the soulmate connection between Keir and Simone, despite all the past pain between them! Despite Keir’s poor choices in the past, I found myself rooting for them so hard, often swept up in the emotion of the moment. While the romance was definitely a slow burn, in deference to the mountain of heartbreak and past trauma they had to overcome, it felt totally organic and appropriate for the characters and their journey! One of my favorite aspects of the book, was seeing more of the brothers’ dynamic! And yes, Atlas stood out for me again!😉 I just love him! The suspense aspect is fantastic, and I cannot wait to see how it all shakes out in the final book!

I love doing the full immersive experience with these books by reading and listening at the same time. Jason Clarke and CJ Bloom narrated the audio version in duet flawlessly!! They way they embodied all that angst and emotion was so impressive! Jason Clarke nailed Keir’s struggles, fears, and also his strengths in a way few could. I loved the way CJ brought out all the different sides of Simone as well! What a fantastic pairing!!

I received an ARC/ALC for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.
