Story
"I want a divorce." That's the first thing she says to me after a decade of silence. And we're not even married yet. Her demand, the way her grandmother talks to her, and how she's treated by the town trigger me. This is just a business arrangement that'll save both our ranches, neither of us want this marriage, but I'll keep her safe by making her my wife. My wife. Those words are as powerful as her first ones to me. The rings on her finger are temporary, so tell me why I want them to remain there permanently?

Story
Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Story
Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty. I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks. She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious. We couldn’t be more different. Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association. I despised her before I even knew her. It was easier that way. But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned. I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried. She was beautiful and honest and sweet. Everything I knew I shouldn’t want. Shouldn’t need.

From a young age, the only thing in life I've ever taken seriously is hockey. I'm not the guy anyone—besides family and teammates—can count on. This is all true. At least, until a certain curly-haired, blue-eyed goddess comes to me looking for an easy hookup. And hook her up I do. But what's supposed to be a one-night stand doesn't stop at one night. What's meant to be easy sure as hell gets complicated fast. It becomes clear that Addison LaConte is just as much my savior as she is my demise.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

I didn't really consider myself part of my father's legacy...until I found out what he left behind in his will: property, ten acres to be exact, which included the headquarters for his beloved motorcycle club. I had no idea that accepting the terms of my inheritance would thrust me into a battle with the new club president, Wesley Ryan. He's unfathomably handsome, menacing, and formidable in every way. But his derision toward me only makes me cling that much tighter to my birthright. That is, it did until he decides to play dirty.

Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it. He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett.

Publisher's summary
"Surely losing your virginity to a firefighter in a cabin getaway that was won at a fundraiser was against some fine-print bylaw in the town charter."
______________________
It all started with a list.
Ten resolutions for a new year, new me.
Or at least the me I thought I should be.
It was going all fine and dandy until I got snowed in with my friend’s brother.
Her much older brother. What happens in the cabin, stays in the cabin. Right?
Wrong.
When Austin Hale shows up on my doorstep, offering to help me with my list, I decide that I’d be crazy to say no. He’s new in town, and I’d rather not go on my journey of self-discovery alone.
We can do this as friends. Besides, he’s too old for me, and the two of us have enough baggage to fill an airplane.
Ten resolutions, and then we move on.
In my mind, the rules are clear. But my heart has plans of its own.
______________________
Welcome back to Falls Creek, North Carolina, where gossip is a way of life and meddling is a show of affection. What Heals Us is a small-town romance packed with heat and heart. Get ready to melt over hunky firefighter Austin Hale, and sweet kindergarten teacher, Caroline Tyree. This is book two in the Falls Creek series, but can be listened to as a standalone.

Little does she know that he's about to upset more than just her routines...

One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

With my savings and a broken heart, I purchased a fixer-upper and took the next plane to a place where only one person knew my name. It was supposed to be my perfect opportunity to start over and scrub the male species from my mind. And it would have worked had Parker not smiled at me from the other end of the bar with eyes so blue they'd make a nun swoon.

Loved Austin and Caroline
Audiobook Review:
If you love a cinnamon roll fireman, this is the book for you. When Austin moved to a different city to help support his sister he had no idea he would fall in love, especially with someone so young. Caroline just wants to be treated normal and not like she is going to break due to her chronic illness.
Their chemistry was perfection. Such a sweet story.
This book was narrated by Tor Thom and Savannah Peachwood. This was a perfect casting for Austin and Caroline.
They both did a great job with all the characters, and brought the book to life.

A lovely small town romance!
I am such a sucker for small town romances and I was impressed by this story! I love the dynamic between Austin and Caroline. Age gap is one of my favorite tropes and Maggie wrote it so well.
The narration was great! I love being able to be drawn into a story, to the point where I'm possibly skirting some responsibilities to keep listening. I really enjoyed how the two narrators voices meshed together.
I will definitely being going back to read book 1 and to continue this sweet series.

Fireman/Teacher SOLD
When Austin Hale moves to Falls Creek to be closer to his sister who is newly pregnant, he finds himself captivated over a young teacher in town, Caroline Tyree. Caroline has had a hard past, filled with a lot of health problems that has left her missing out on so many things. When Austin and Caroline connect during a local Dance he asks her what’s on her New Year’s resolutions list, she starts thinking and that night she makes herself a list. A list of firsts and of adventures, as well as little things to just live in the moment, and when Austin sees the list he has no doubt in his mind that he will be the one helping Caroline complete this list. I loved Austin and Caroline, and because I am a fire wife, I related to parts of this book through that lifestyle, and really enjoyed hearing about the calls they were on or the conversations they had at the station. Caroline is younger than Austin and I absolutely love an age gap romance and this one was done right. Caroline is mature and although maybe a little naive, she is open, honest and the two of them were able to have some real, raw conversations. This story takes you through some many twists and turns and has a bit of an edge with a mystery throughout the book and I was very intrigued. Austin is a manly man, someone who is there to help no matter what, a man that is going to shower you with compliments and affection and protect you and your heart. I fell hard for Austin and his job, his maturity and the way he was with Caroline. Tor Thom Narrated What Heals Us in dual with Savannah Peachwood and I thought they both did an incredible job. Tor has this deep voice that was perfect for Austin, he wasn’t grumpy or broody like so many times I have heard his voice he was uplifting and comforting and you could feel that through Tor’s voice. Savannah narrated Caroline beautifully showcasing her sweet and innocent personality voicing her soft and vulnerable yet passionate about the things she loves and enjoys. Throughout the story Savannah brought out the confident in the woman she was becoming and I loved hearing that part of Caroline come to life. Overall sweet beautiful story. I’m excited to hear the next book , What Saves Us.

Austin and Carolines story!
Maggie Gates is a new to me author and I am not disappointed in the slightest. What Hurts Us is the second book of the Falls Creek Series. The books are all stand-alone within the series, and can be enjoyed individually, however there are recuring characters and some back stories you find.
Austin Hale is a firefighter second, and a big brother first. When he gets a call from his sister Beth one night crying and saying she is pregnant and the father is a married man, he does the only thing a good brother does, uproots his life and moves to take care of her. So far, his new life has been about Beth and his job, until he runs into Caroline Tyree, the towns kindergarten teacher. Caroline is 22 and just getting her life back on track after spending most of her life in and out of hospitals for lupus but was saved by an anonymous donor. There is an instant attraction between them but a lot standing in their way, or at least they think. One being their age, he is 13 years older than she is. Two, because of all her time in the hospital and recovery she is…unexperienced. Three, she is best friends with his sister. And four, they live in a small town, and you know what happens in small towns…GOSSIP.Both have spent enough time in the town’s eyes for other things, they don’t need to be there anymore. One weekend, they both show up at a BnB for a stay they each separately won in an auction, but wouldn’t you just know it, her cabin is having issues and there no more left and oh yeah there’s a snowstorm and they are snowed in. What happens at the cabin stays at the cabin…and a lot happened at the cabin.
I really loved this story, and one of my favorite parts was Caroline and her advocating for herself. Generally, I have grown kind of tired of the virgin stories, but Caroline said what I hoped most would say “I am a grown woman, I know my body and I want what I want”. She is such a strong female character and I loved her lust for life (and Austin;-) ). There is one scene where she is doing something as simple as getting a haircut, but to me it was a very powerful scene. Austin was looking for more a reason to stay then his sister, more than an obligation. Until he started seeing Caroline, he was just kind of existing in the town, he wasn’t living because it wasn’t permanent. These two were such great characters separately, but they made each other better. We do find out who the donor was for Caroline, and it was not at all who I suspected it to be. I love this little town and all the people in it, I can’t wait to see more of these two characters throughout the series.
What Hurts Us was narrated by Tor Thom and Savannah Peachwood. Both did such an excellent job bringing these characters to life both individually and together. Savannah has this young innocent sound to her voice, and then out of nowhere BAM! Sultry and sexy! She was the perfect voice for Caroline. Tor really brought Austin out of those pages. He has a voice that makes you feel safe, just like the character, but “behind closed doors” has that bedroom voice every woman dreams of hearing and every man dreams of having. I really loved these two and the did such a fantastic job bringing Maggie’s character and story to life.

Fabulous Story & Listen🎧Swoon Worthy & Heartfelt!
It is great to be back in Maggie Gates’ Falls Creek for another fabulous small town romance novel and I loved this one as much as I loved the first, “What Hurts Us”. Both stories stand on their on own, but characters appear in each other’s books and knowing their backstories adds depth to the story, besides seeing them again is like seeing an old friend. Austin Hale, a firefighter, leaves Beaufort to move back to Falls Creek to be closer to his sister Beth who is pregnant and having problems with her ex. Leaving his home and job with the Beaufort Fire Department was difficult, and so is starting over in a new fire department, but he did and is adjusting. And then one of his sister’s friends catches his eye and his interest, despite the age difference. Caroline Tyree is a teacher and has had a lifetime of health woes, and her overprotective parents want her to come back home, but she is a fighter and is determined to make it on her own. At twenty-two years, she is the youngest of her friends and the most naïve, but he is making a list of resolutions and things she must do to make up for lost time. What was supposed to be a quiet weekend getaway turned out to be something completely different. A solo stay turned out to be a shared stay when only one cabin was available and with the winter storm, travel back home was not an option. I loved getting to know these two, thought they were great together and for each other. Caroline went through so much in her life, and while she may have been naïve in some ways, she was beyond her years in other ways. Austin is just swoon worthy, so sweet and caring, definitely one of a kind. I loved the complexity of the characters, all the layers of the story and how it all payed out. The writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. The story captivated me from start to end and has the perfect balance of drama, charm, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. Maggie Gates, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Savannah Peachwood and Tor Thom did a wonderful job bringing these characters to life, humanizing them, giving each a voice that was fitting. I loved how they took their roles and made them their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters would sound. Peachwood nailed it as Caroline, grasping every aspect of her personality, from her vulnerabilities to her strength and determination. Thom was just as fabulous as Austin, and did the same, completely nailing his caring and swoon worthiness. Both were equally amazing performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ voices and had you feeling them all. These two voice artists are entertaining storytellers and their performance elevates this already fantastic story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

cute read
This was a lovely read. It had the usual hallmarks I swoon over: OTTP MMC, smart FMC, great group of girlfriends. We also had the hilarious Brandie Jean, the nosy-well-meaning friend - who I loved.
Austin, a firefighter, is ever the bridesmaid never the bride and then he has to move to another town to help out his pregnant sister and he comes across the FMC, Caroline (a kindergarten teacher), who has lupus and was really sick most of her life so she's missed out on a lot of life and is struggling to show everyone she's on her own... they get snowed in at an inn together and sparks fly... from there they have a fairly mature secret relationship until they finally get a proper push in the right direction.
Really, the only thing I didn't love was the age gap -- I understand its necessity in setting up one of the personal hurdles they have to overcome - but in general, I think trying to do age gap well is really hard and it just didn't land all that well here (I think because she was supposed to be both inexperienced and really mature but it just felt -- icky). I still really liked the book - I just ignored that part of it.
Also, Beth (MMC's pregnant sister) was not my fav (I totally get why and I'm sure she'll be redeemed in her book but...) I just felt like she overreacted to everything that he did... was he a bit overbearing ... probably. Did she have to be an absolute TwtWffL about it? No!
As for the narration: It was really good. Savannah Peachwood nails the small town girl vibe and I love it. Tor Thom's deep voice also helped to bring the character to life.

📖: Austin & Caroline's story was so good but especially since I'm back in my Small Town Romance Era!
I love a good age gap & this book delivers!! Austin's draw to "Sweets" is everything! And I LOVE that Caroline isn't some perfect FMC with the perfect life & body. Her struggles are so real and I love the ride this book takes us on while still delivering the spice we love.
Also... it sets up book 3 sooo well 👀🖤
🎧: As for the audio specifically, I will say that I typically prefer Duets. BUT these narrators did an AMAZING job bringing these characters to life! If you want a book that's easy listening & will keep your attention, this is that book!
