Publisher's summary

SLACK

Ford Aston is not too picky about what he wants out of Christmas. He's not into this holiday - like at all. He doesn't do presents or family dinners or parties or church.

He does pets. And he's got one lined up for Christmas Eve. In fact it's the highlight of his day. And if he can get through drop-in visits, nosy 12-year-olds, an inappropriate conversation with his best friend's girlfriend, dinner with a family that's not his, and a party at his mother's house - well, he might just get home in time to enjoy himself with a stranger and make it all okay.

TAUT

Ford Aston is known for many things. Being an emotionless, messed up bastard, a freakishly smart social outcast, and a cold, domineering master who keeps "pets" instead of girlfriends.

And after Rook broke his heart, he plans to keep it that way.

Ashleigh is known for nothing, and that's exactly what she's got going for her. She's broke and stranded in the mountains with a three-month-old baby, and Ford Aston is screwing with her head.

Big. Time.

And she plans to mess with his right back.

It's a coy game at first, filled with flirting and innuendo - but Ford soon realizes something is not quite right with Ashleigh. In fact something is seriously, seriously wrong, and the closer they get to their final destination, the closer Ford gets to the truth.

One night of devastation, self-loathing, and emptiness turns into the best thing that ever happened to Ford Aston. But one day of in-your-face reality threatens Ashleigh's whole existence.

simply AMAZING!

I thought I would struggle with this one. I wasn't sure if I really liked Ford through Rook and Ronin. I was so very wrong!

I was blown away at how I grew to absolutely adore this character. He's complex, strong, loving and a complete a-hole! This is such a completely satisfying read.

JA Huss you're a magnificent story teller....although I did miss my EOBS.

Great listen

I liked Ford's story line. His growth was astoundingly written. The narrator did a great job with the reading and intonations.

The Bad guy gets the girl!

I love the end. This is why I love JAHUSS books. There is always a twisted ending, and finally she wraps it all up in a nice and neat bow. Try it and read it.

Love Troy Duran

NOTE - READ IN 2020, JUST REVISITING REVIEW, AFTER RE-LITSENNING AGAIN,. Love the story of Ashley and Ford. Ford has always been one of my favorite character in this series and it turns out he is so loving, gentle and selfless, something one would not have learn unless from reading from his POV. Troy Duran carried this entire book and did a beautiful job, love his gentle/sexy voice. JA Huss never dissappoint!

Again, it's "couldn't care less!!"

unfortunately, my only complaint still applies to this book as well - the phrase is "couldn't care less," meaning you could not care any less....author never got this memo, so she still said "could care less" again throughout this book.

Ford

Effin' Ford
Ford was something else. He was such an enigma. He thought he couldn't feel, but he really just handled feelings differently. And he thought the love he had for Rook was the only kind of love he could have - which equated to nothing since Rook belonged to Ronin. It wasn't until he stumbled across Ashleigh did he discover that he could feel so much more.
This was definitely a different story than what I had expected but it fit the kind of man Ford was written to be. Ashleigh broke through all the walls he put up to protect himself from everybody and everything.
Troy Duran portrays Ford perfectly, bringing his inner musings to life and telling the story exactly as is should be told.
