This was the first time I read something written by this author, and it certainly won't be the last. It captivated my attention from the first chapters.
Sloane moved with her daughter to Ardnoch to get away from the past. Now, she works as a housekeeper at a celebrity resort. She also bakes, having her own little "business." She is very strong and does everything to keep her daughter happy and safe.
Walker works at the resort as a bodyguard, and when danger comes Sloane's way, he doesn't hesitate for a second to save her. From that moment, he is super protective of her and her daughter. Also, he is very grumpy, which makes him even hotter.
The tension between the two is felt from the first chapters. Although they are total opposites, they are perfect together. Sloane is very open about her feelings, compared to Walker, who keeps them inside. But, of course, as soon as he finally gives in, the two can barely stay apart.
Thank you Samantha Young and Valentine PR for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
