New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Kristen Ashley brings a new novel in her River Rain series....

From a very young age, Chloe Pierce was trained to look after the ones she loved. And she was trained by the best. But when the man who looked after her was no longer there, Chloe is cast adrift - just as the very foundation of her life crumbled to pieces.

Then she runs into tall, lanky, unpretentious Judge Oakley, her exact opposite. She shops. He hikes. She drinks pink ladies. He drinks beer. She’s a city girl. He’s a mountain guy.

Obviously, this means they have a blowout fight upon meeting. Their second encounter doesn’t go a lot better.

Judge is loving the challenge. Chloe is everything he doesn’t want in a woman, but he can’t stop finding ways to spend time with her. He knows she’s dealing with loss and change.

He just doesn’t know how deep that goes. Or how ingrained it is for Chloe to care for those who have a place in her heart, how hard it will be to trust anyone to look after her...and how much harder it is when it’s his turn.

This book contained all the pieces that book one lacked. There was more focus on the development of the Hero and Heroine’s relationship but, there was still great plot that surrounded it.

I have to admit that I liked Judge, the hero, much more than Chloe, the heroine. Chloe was too materialistic and snobbish. I cannot abide someone that must spend thousands of dollars on a pair of shoes. Quality is one thing but wastefulness is ugly. This is only my opinion. I much preferred Judge’s, down to earth, personality.

I usually always prefer a male and female narrator, however, I think Stella Bloom performed Judge better than the male narrator they chose for him.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, my only wish would be that the book were longer. Too bad the next book doesn’t come out until next year.

🌻So much better than book one🌻

Great story line. Chloe has such a personality- the family bond & the importance of family is a strong theme- Cory’s influence adds mystery & intrigue- great story

Sweet story

Great story but if you are not a Kristen Ashley follower you will need a visual character list with timelines from other stories. I have read them all and I got list several times. There are so many names its hard to keep up. I had to rewind several times. If you can past that and I certainly did, you will enjoy this book and the multi layered characters she is known for developing. I enjoyed Judge from the start. It took me a minute to like Chloe and I still dont feel like her unlayering was done very well but I still grew to like her. Gotta say i am more interested in some of the supporting characters like Reese, her dad, his dad and the brothers.

I enjoy the family and characters in this series. The writing of Ashley is always good. I do like that this series is different from her others in my opinion, bc there isn't a ton of action, but the family is endearing.
