Publisher's summary

From the start, it's been ingrained in Solomon Sanders's DNA to fight. Fight for what he believes is right. Fight for the people he loves. Fight for survival, so at some point his life will quiet down and find a normal pace.

He wasn't ready for the impact his secretive, shy, obviously out-of-place new neighbor was going to have on him. And never in a million years was he prepared to fall head over heels for her and her young daughter. Now, he's facing the most important, and the hardest fight he's ever fought...the battle to win Orley's damaged heart.

From the start, Orley Vincent was groomed to believe she wasn't good enough. She wasn't the perfect daughter. Or student. Or girlfriend. But, she has always been the best mother she could be to her daughter, Noble. Keeping Noble safe has always been the one thing she was determined to do, which ironically, is how she ended up on the wrong side of the tracks, living next door to an unlikely hero.

Orley's a woman on the run. She had no idea her frantic sprint was going to land her in the tattooed arms of a man ready to teach her how to fight for herself...and for love.

Contains mature themes.

So sweet

This book was a sweet romance that I wasn’t expecting but happy to listen too. Solo was such a wonderful man.

5/5 Stars Downfall

Y’all. This book did what so rarely happens and checked every single one of my boxes. Awesome hero, heroine, and sweet little girl. This gives all the feel good vibes, even through the grit.

Struggle is real

I enjoy many audible books as a commuter to work but this was a struggle to listen to. The male narrator could not sound more bored and female had a horrible baby talk voice. Totally disappointed. Only salvation was I love Jay Crownover

UGH... The narrator's.

There is a BIG difference between narrating and reading! Erik sounded like a suit wearing, pencil pusher. A FAR CRY from the character he failed to bring to life. Madeleine wasn't much better. They were both so monotone. Very little emotion or effort. It's so distracting, I'm not sure I'll be able to even finish the book! I think the story is good, but OMG, its a struggle!

Awesome book

Loved this book in the storyline. When I read it it was amazing! Audible version was slightly a letdown. The male voice did not fit the character.

Enjoyed!!!!

I have seriously enjoyed every book I have read by Jay Crownover and this is no exception! You don’t always have to look for good to find it, sometimes the bad will show you the good. This was a good book and I seriously enjoyed Orley, Noble, and Solo!
