About this listen

Beth Venable has seen too much. Witness to a major mob hit, she's placed in protective custody until the trial. But after her third safe house is riddled with bullets, she goes offgrid to save herself. What the FBI can't do, her kinfolk will.

The beautiful but forbidding Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky welcome Beth back, with dirt roads and rustic shacks a world apart from L.A. But her homecoming—even her blissful reunion with strong, silent Ryal Walker—is made bittersweet by the fight she's brought to the clan's doorstep. Hidden in a remote cabin with the man she's always wanted, Beth begins to dream of a new life: her old one. But after so long, with such dangers stalking her…it seems impossible. But love can distill life down to its essence: an elixir of pure hope, nerve—and the will to survive.

Expertly written and refreshing.

This was my first Sharon Sala book.

This is for you if you like quality writing and excellent narration. Sala is flawless in her ability to let you know which character is thinking or speaking without having that character’s name be the title of a chapter. In fact, she can include the point of view of any character, main or secondary, and the flow is seamless and the POV is welcome rather than intrusive.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and recommend that if you are intrigued by the blurb and story idea, take a chance. I loved the writing style and the main characters were very likeable and honourable. Misunderstandings were resolved swiftly and the author dealt with the crux of the romance and love story with class.

I’m glad I found this author. I’ll look out for more by her.

Narrator Kathe Mazur did a wonderful job bringing this story to life. I loved her performance.

Story & Location

Another great story from Sharon Sala!!!! This is the first in the Rebel Ridge Series. I managed to snag all three; so will definitely be on a listening Jag. 😁😁It is all about a second chance at Love, life and family. Also intriguing story of murder.

Becoming One of My Favorite Writers

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you like romance with a plot beyond the romantic (and sexual) interest, you might like this woman's books.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Next of Kin?

The devastating effects of being in a protected witness category. Not all have the drawbacks that occur in this one, but assuming the program is a snap is incorrect.

Which character – as performed by Kathe Mazur – was your favorite?

I like the character of Beth. She's strong and reflects a resilience that few individuals have.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but I listen to books as I do other things. This one is one that I'd listen to again to catch the parts I inadvertently skipped.

Narrator

Narrator needs to learn the difference between an Irish lilt and a Scottish brogue. Otherwise she was good.

Loved this Audible book!

The story, performance, everything about this book was great! Just enough mystery and romance without being over the top. Sometimes the reader can detract from a story, but this was spot on. Great job all around!!

More!

Loved this. Already downloaded Quinn’s story, “Don’t Cry For Me”. Now if only Audible would add “Sara’s Angel”, hopefully with Kathe Mazur narrating, I would be ecstatic!
