Such a fabulous story! I loved every part of Cassie and Shane's story, their chemistry, the way they fight and grow, the fact that it took a year and a half to get where they ended up, the action and twisty suspense moments, everything was just perfect.
Can't wait to read more about the Chase clan. There are still two brothers to go;).

This book was written several years ago and my review is for the new publication of it. As far as I’m aware there are very few changes apart from a little clean up editing wise. This is the second in the series that features the Chase family of Petal, Georgia and from the very beginning it’s clear just how close this sprawling family is.
Cassie is reinventing herself following her abusive marriage and the condition it’s left both her mind and body in. The last thing she needs is a suspicious, meddling town sheriff but Shane is very interested in finding out what makes the pretty newcomer tick. Shane hasn’t really wanted a woman since his heart was broken years before but very quickly realised that Cassie in spite of her secrets holds his attention so could she possibly be the one?
Cassie has flashbacks to the terror that her husband inflicted on her. Unable to practice medicine she’s bravely trying to build a new life but a certain, very persistent Chase man slowly but surely worms his way into her wary heart.
Two very stubborn people with chemistry off the charts. I loved that Shane was this über patient teddy bear . He’s not perfect and actually comes off as previously a bit of a player but once he sets his sights on Cassie honestly there’s no other woman for him, sigh ! You will root for this couple and enjoy their tumultuous journey to a happy ending. Plus the Chase family are such sweeties that you will definitely want to know what happens next.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

ARC - I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
Cassie was on the run from her abusive ex-husband.
She knew for sure that if he found her, he would kill her.
She hopes that Petal, Georgia will be a safe haven for her.
Shane is afraid to give love a second chance.
He was dumped by his fiance, which left him with a scarred heart.
Is Cassie the one that will heal Shane's heart ?
When danger comes will Shane be able to protect Cassie ?
I loved the storytelling + the characters
The storytelling + the character's build were awesome!
