We were lost until Briar Valley offered us a home.

Love. Safety. Protection. But it came at a cost.

I ran to protect my family. Now, it's time to return.

When tragedy strikes, I'm forced to retrace my steps back into the arms of the men whose hearts I broke.

I've spent my entire life running. No more. The past is finally catching up to me, and my secrets won't stay buried as trouble looms on the horizon.

I must face the monster who spent a decade torturing me. For myself. My daughter. The countless other victims that he silenced with his brutality.

This town gave me everything. I have to protect it, or I'll lose the ones I love forever.

We'll fight to survive as a family. Together.

Where Wild Things Grow is a spicy small-town reverse harem romance and book two in a duet. It must be listened to in order, and there is a guaranteed HEA.

I enjoyed this duet but the narrators weren't my favorite. The female narrator had an old lady voice for the twins. Her regular voice was fine. I was disappointed how bad a job Sabre Security did protecting her. The ending was great!

Great duet

This book picks up where book 1 left off. Willow takes Arianna and runs after her husband tracks her down in Briar Valley. She is determined to protect Ari and decides to leave her men behind. She struggles with living in hiding and is eventually forced to go back to Briar Valley after tragedy strikes the town. Dealing with the loss, and struggling to get through to the guys who love that she is back but mad because she left. Willow tries to pick up the pieces of her life and is approached with the opportunity to testify against her husband. She starts to tell her story.
I really loved this book. You can tell how far Willow has come. She was a broken woman, and with the help and determination of her mountain men and the town she turns into a woman that is determined to do the right thing and heal from her past. The relationship between her and the guys was a little struggle especially from the twins since they took to her leaving the hardest. I loved that they were still determined to help her heal regardless.

This is my first J.Rose book and one that's been on my never-ending TBR for quite a while. I feel so lucky to have gotten the arc for his duology re-release. I can't begin to imagine the horrors that Willow had to endure during her decade with that monster. As always, check your triggers. I loved all three mmcs so much, they were exactly what Willow needed, but I will say my fav was Micah. there's just something about the withdrawn artist with trauma that just does it for me and I loved him for her.

They way each of them helped her heal and work thru her trauma. Briar Valley and its residents were the family she's always wanted and the family she needed.

love it

This duet was full of emotions and character development. I absolutely loved this duet. if you are looking for a heart wrenching story with great spice and a hard fought HEA, this is perfect. The narrators were great to listen to.

Emotional and sexy roller coaster

This is my review for both books in this duet.

I'm such a fan of J Rose's writing. She's truly such a talented author, her writing is just beautiful. I love how all her books are in the same world while being such different stories.

This is definitely the 'lightest' of her books. The first is a really sweet story of love, strength and the incredible power of a mothers love. While then the second book is more suspenseful.

I listened to these on audiobook and usually I'm playing games on my phone. But for the last hour of the this series I stopped playing and just lay in bed listening. I was completely captivated not noticing anything around me.

I always say it's been a good whychoose when I love all the guys and man did I love these guys. Though I think Micah is my favorite.

Can't wait for my next read by J Rose.

Sad this duet is over

I kept losing sight of what the MMCs saw in Willow, her personality just fell flat. The MMCs were written well tho, I could totally follow why they were so desirable.
I was constantly frustrated with Willow’s choices throughout the entire book as well as the men’s lack of follow through to protect her. There’s literally 3 men, like…do better.
Pregnancy trope was meh but the fact that the baby was at risk multiple times was grating.

Just a heavy, frustrating listen without much redemption.

Consistently frustrated

The story was fine. I really just didn't like the female narrator. She did ok for a female voice. She cannot do male voices. It was really annoying. And we barely heard from the male narrator. It also was a lot of words to get to the end of the story. I stuck with it because i paid for it. But I almost gave up in this second book.

Just ok

The “accidental” pregnancy trope is a BIG nope for me.
In the first book, there a pregnancy discovered when she has a miscarriage (the father is the abuser…)
And why the need to have a pregnancy in a really dark romance and in a reverse harem makes absolutely no sense to me.

Nevertheless, the narration is really good. all the emotions are in the right place.
