BLURB.

Edith “Eddy” Wheeler was having a bad day.

A no good, very bad day.

It’s understandable, really. I mean, there didn’t seem to be anything worse than walking in on your elderly parents doing things no child should ever see. Add into that their proclivities, and Eddy is disgusted and disturbed.

So of course, after seeing the atrocious things her parents—the pastor and pastor’s wife that are supposed to be holy and a teacher of faith—are into, she makes it her life goal to expose them to their masses. The cult-like following her father has will see him for the man he is—an abuser who gets a sick thrill at seeing his girls suffer.

She will no longer allow the people of Sawtooth, Montana, to think that they’re safe when they’re anything but.

That’s where Weaver Grant comes in.

A sexy lineman who climbs poles for a living, has forearms that can break a woman in mind, body, and soul, and a smile that does things deep inside of her that she refuses to acknowledge just yet.

She has a plan.

A really good one, too.

But that plan dies a thousand deaths when she’s attacked by a bear on a hike that she was using to cleanse her soul. She thought she was supposed to be afraid of men, but that rabid bear showed her a new side of herself.

She spends weeks in the hospital, and a certain hot lineman takes it upon himself to see her healthy again. He never leaves her side. He solves all her problems. And he shows her how a real man treats a woman.

But once she’s healed and her world is once again righted, will he have a reason to stay since she no longer needs saving?

MY REVIEW.

5 Stars from Renee!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was pulled right into this story. The story has pain, abuse, twists & turns, secrets, and heartbreak.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first:
House of BS & Lies (Don't Date Him #1)
People We Avoid (Don't Date Him #2)

This is Eddy and Weaver’s story. Eddy and Weaver meet when she uncovers secrets her parents are keeping and goes to the police. They pull in Weaver in order to try and get answers, but even more secrets are revealed. Can they figure it out? In the middle of all of this she gets attacked by a bear and it causes a ton of injuries. Now she needs help and with danger lurking can they get her better and keep her safe? His past comes for him in the middle of all of this, so they have to deal with that also. It’s one thing after another but can they fight the pull that is bring them together?

I recommend this book.




COMING SOON.
