About this audiobook

Reclusive. Grumpy. Irresistible.

Dr Jake McBride loves two things in life. His people, and chicken cheesy-crust pies. Returning from Iraq, he’s done with medicine and strangers... in fact life. He knows all about trauma, and plans on dealing with his, his own way. His needs are simple, solitude and working on his new career as the town recluse. The only problem with that... well two actually, are the interfering towns folk of Lake Howling, and Branna O’Donnell. He’s damn sure that her return means nothing to him... until it does!

His first mistake was kissing her. His second was doing it again.

Branna O’Donnell is burnt out and needs a place to stop running. Strange how that place is back where she’d once been happy. Settling in to small town life again comes with complications and the biggest has a serious attitude. Once the town golden boy, Jake McBride now wears a permanent snarl, not that anyone but her seems to notice the sexy doctor has changed.

Sharing a bed complicates things but no way is Jake leaving Branna alone until they find who is threatening her, and even then he’s not sure he’ll be able to walk away. He can feel himself changing, and it’s all on her, but when her past comes calling with it comes the realization that more than lust is involved. He’s not sure he can be her hero but he knows he wants to try.

If you enjoy your small town romance sizzling with a side of crazy, then Lake Howling is for you. Meet the real authority in town - the local book club - and Jake’s interfering hot friends. Swim (or skinny dip!) in the ice cold lake, then warm up with coffee and a mystery muffin at The Hoot Café. Plenty of feels and LOLS, all wrapped up in a town that will have you packing your bags to head there, from the very first page.

I read the ebook form of this story. Branna returns to Lake Howling to claim her inheritance from her best friend, mentor, and substitute mother. Branna is knocked down by a boy on a bicycle and injured, but she won't admit to how badly she is hurt as she heads to her new home. Her lawyer's secretary runs into hometown hero, Jake McBride and guilts him into checking in on Branna on his way home. Jake is veteran and former doctor who suffers from severe flash backs and cannot work as a doctor any more. He does recognize how severe Branna's injuries are and he drags her to see his mom. Jake can also recognize Branna's extreme fear, but knows that having his mom treat her is the best thing for Branna. Branna is used to being alone and having only herself to rely on, but the longer she stays in Lake Howling the more she starts gathering people around her only Jake isn't sure that Branna sees that. Soon it becomes clear that someone is trying to either scare Branna off or get rid of her permanently. Branna's estranged father shows up, an old enemy becomes a new friend, an old friend becomes a better friend and a kindred spirit is found in a little neighbor boy. Read the book and see if Branna and Jake can help each other heal and form a relationship, see if Branna can reconcile with her father and see if she can help the little neighbor boy. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
