Blurb
First comes
trust, then love… then the fight to stay alive.
Pop star Tyler Hart is desperate for peace after a humiliating public scandal. It seems like Stanford Creek may well be the place to lay low. After all, it worked for his friends and former bandmates, Cody and Danny. He borrows a cabin and settles in for a quiet Christmas…well, not quite.
Garrett Campbell is on the run. Wounded in the line of duty, he escapes to the only place he feels safe, Stanford Creek and his brother’s cabin. Only he doesn’t realize he’ll have a roommate, and a sexy one at that.
Amid snow falls and winter winds, passion burns bright. When danger threatens to follow Garrett, he has to decide whether to run again before his secrets could kill him and the man of his dreams.

Review:
This book is just wonderful. It starts with a truck load of drama and
danger, turns into the sweetest and hottest seduction tale, and then switches
back to thrilling and danger-filled before giving us the happiest of ever
afters. What’s not to love?
If you’ve read the previous Stanford Creek stories you’ll know that
Garrett is a bit of an enigma. He comes and goes to and from his home town and
family at unexpected times and while he claims to have a rather uninteresting job,
everybody is convinced there’s more going on in his life than he’s willing to
admit to. In this book we find out exactly what Garrett hasn’t been sharing and
boy, is his job anything but boring.
Poor Tyler; he falls for the oldest trick in the book and finds himself
in the middle of his personal tabloid hell. A few weeks away from the limelight
are exactly what he needs and an isolated cabin near Stanford Creek appears to
be just what the doctor ordered. Except that he discovers on arrival that he
won’t actually be on his own.
The attraction between the two men is instant. More than that, Garrett
has had a crush on the Tyler for some time. But there are a lot of good reasons
for the two men to keep their distance from each other. Except isolation and
close proximity soon wear down any reservations either of them may have had.
Attraction soon morphs into something more, but it isn’t until danger comes
knocking that Garrett and Ty discover exactly what it is they’re feeling for
each other.
I loved the slow and oh so enticing build up of attraction and sexual
tension between Garrett and Ty. And once they give into the pull between them….WOW;
they made my Kindle steam up (not to mention what they did to me). I was also
delighted to be reunited with the other inhabitants of Stanford Creek and catch
up with their lives; I’ve become quite attached to these characters over these
three books and I can’t wait to read what I assume will be Kyle’s story.
While I loved the whole story and adored both characters, Ty found a
special place in my heart because of the growing process he went through. Just
when I thought the situation might well get too much for him and half expected
him to fall apart, he surprised me by coming into his own and firmly standing
by his man, regardless of the danger or the secrets between them.
Over all this was, once again, a wonderful and gripping read. RJ manages
to time and again create characters that worm their way into my heart and take
up residence there. And that’s just one of many reasons I keep on returning to
her books.
While this is the third book in the Stanford Creek Series it can totally be read as a stand-alone.
Having said that, unless you are totally allergic to female protagonists and MF
pairings, I have no idea why you would want to deprive yourself of the pleasure
that is the first two books in the series. Have a look at my reviews:
