ARC REVIEW
4.5 stars
When music teacher Emma moves to Silver Ridge for the summer, she never expected to meet Ashford a brooding ex-military, martial arts instructor who wants nothing to do with her. But underneath all that grumpiness is a devoted single dad.
When she is in danger, Ashford steps in as Emma protector, forcing them closer than ever (forced proximity trope). As sparks fly and threats escalate, she must decide if this connection is worth the risk, or if loving him will cost her everything.
This book was so swoon-worthy. I love the grumpy/sunshine dynamic between the main characters. The small town setting of Silver Ridge added so much to the book, making it feel cozy despite the suspenseful twists..
It was an easy and enjoyable read with the balance of intrigue, spice and heart.
If you love single dad, small town romance with a dash of suspense, then this book is for you.

Lorsque Emma, professeur de musique, déménage à Silver Ridge pour l'été, elle ne s'attendait pas à rencontrer Ashford, un ancien militaire maussade et instructeur d'arts martiaux qui ne veut rien avoir à faire avec elle. Mais sous toute cette mauvaise humeur se cache un père célibataire dévoué.
Quand elle est en danger, Ashford intervient en tant que protecteur d'Emma, les forçant à se rapprocher plus que jamais (trope de proximité forcée). Alors que les étincelles jaillissent et que les menaces s'intensifient, elle doit décider si cette connexion vaut le risque, ou si l'aimer lui coûtera tout.
Ce livre était si émouvant. J'adore la dynamique grincheuse/ensoleillée entre les personnages principaux. Le cadre de la petite ville de Silver Ridge a beaucoup ajouté au livre, le rendant confortable malgré les rebondissements pleins de suspense.
C'était une lecture facile et agréable avec l'équilibre entre l'intrigue, le piquant et le cœur.
Si vous aimez les pères célibataires, les romances de petite ville avec une pointe de suspense, alors ce livre est pour vous.
0If you are looking for a romance mystery book this is a great option of a series.
The relationship between Ashford & Emma started as enemies to lovers, there is an insta attraction between them when they meet but due to each others past they don’t acknowledge it.
