About this listen
An all new suspense romance from USA Today bestselling author Dakota Davies featuring a woman on the run and the small town cop who breaks all the rules to protect her.
It’s been a year since a serial killer put my small town on the map. A year of chasing my tail in an investigation of dead ends and false leads while the families wait for justice. When the killer strikes again, I’m drawn into a desperate race against time to stop him once and for all.
It's hard enough balancing being a single dad with running a high-stakes murder case without adding the distraction that is Vivian Walsh. I only meant to help her get to safety during a freak blizzard, but the temptation to find out more about her won’t let me rest. Maybe it’s her lightning-bolt smile and how beautifully she cares for her adorable son, or maybe it’s her quiet strength. Or maybe I’m just drawn to problems I can’t fix. Because it quickly becomes clear that Vivian is keeping secrets, the kind I know better than to tangle with.
But secrets have a way of breaking to the surface, and just as my investigation takes a shocking turn, bringing me closer to the truth, Vivian’s past returns, threatening not just her safety, but the fragile trust we’re building.
Protecting her will mean breaking all the rules. Will we survive unscathed?
Love Me Fierce is a standalone small town romantic suspense novel and book 4 in the unforgettable Love Me Dangerous series.

Story
A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

Story
Look, I've had it bad for the girl with all the curves next door forever. She turned me down in high school and since I'm not a total douchecanoe, I lusted after her all by myself in my shower, and we stayed just friends for years. Now she's the adorkable librarian next door, and I'm the star quarterback of the best pro football team in the league. So when she asks me to be her fake date to her all-girls school reunion, I am totally down to show her off to the mean girls who bullied her back then so they can see just how incredible she is.

Experiencing more than her fair share of tragedy and loss, she had plans for her future, one where failure wasn’t an option. And not just because people and cows were counting on her.

After walking in on a masked man murdering my neighbor, I went back to the one place I swore I'd never step foot in again. Citrus Cove. The sleepy town hasn't changed much, but the people have. Including my old high school bully, Cameron Harlow. He's the last person I want to see. He should be the last person I want.

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep. To be fair, she came out of nowhere. I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike. But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate. Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored. She was my icy Cinderella, and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming. Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie. She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape. Neither of us expected to fall. Or for the truth to shatter us.

He and his brothers run this region… and they take everything they want. Including me. Although Dario has made clear that I am his and ONLY his. But I’ll fight back, no matter how hard it is. Not just because I’m afraid of him (although I am)… But because, deep down, I WANT him… And I know that giving in to him will ruin me forever.

My name is Jupiter Reeves, and I am a fraud. It's not that what's written about me isn't true. I am the greatest third baseman of my generation, possibly ever. I am surly and unapproachable. I do have a constant scowl with an armor of tattoos. To the outside world, I play my role as the bad boy of baseball like I was born to do it. But when the doors are closed, and you boil it down, I'm nothing more than a man who lost his heart too young, with no prospect of getting it back... especially as I still have no idea where its current owner is.

Thrilling, emotional and steamy romance!
Love Me Fierce is a thrilling, intriguing, intense, and steamy listen/read! I loved the mystery and drama included around Vivian and Everett's romance that kept things exciting and had me hooked the entire time! Vivian Reece came to Finn River with her son, Mateo for a fresh start, after leaving her dirty cop husband. Everett, is a local police officer trying to find a serial ki!!er, while struggling to raise his son, Logan. From their first meeting, Vivian and Everett have a strong attraction, but she has trust issues with him being an officer, and he's too busy to be consumed by her. Their chemistry is so strong, they are helpless to deny it. As their connection grows stronger, they start to build a sweet family together. As they get closer to finding the ki!!er, their lives are also in jeopardy. This story is breathtaking, poignant, and steamy, with just enough suspense and mystery that kept me totally engaged, trying to figure out what would happen next. I fell so hard for Vivian and Everett, who are both strong, protective and caring, along with both of their sons who were adorable, adding so much heart to this story.
Gregory Salinas and Jill Smith do a terrific job capturing each characters personality. Their voice changes and intonations make you feel all the terror, anger, joy and passion that these characters felt, completely immersing me in this thrilling, emotional and steamy romance!

One of my favorite of the series!
Dakota Davies does an incredible job marrying romance and suspense together in an all consuming, captivating story. I knew from their interaction during the accident that we were in for a treat with Everett and Vivian. The suspense will keep you guessing until the bad guy is revealed, all while your heart gets attached to these two single parents finding their way to one another while surrounded by danger. He's an overprotective cop that thinks she's hiding something, but can't fight his feelings towards her, and she's a single mom starting over after running from a traumatic marriage to a cop.
Just when you think all the cards are stacked against an HEA, Dakotah Davies ties everything up with a pretty bow and delivers the ending I was yearning for as a listener.
Gregory Salinas and Jill Smith brought this story and these characters to life in such an emotional and realistic way that I could not stop listening. Gregory captured the growly, overprotective hero (but a little bit of a lover boy) in Everett, while Jill captured the emotions and anxious energy from Vivian. They were a remarkable duo for this story and couple and I loved every bit of their storytelling.

Wonderful Story
Dakota Davies has written another story that I was so invested in, and I didn't want it to end.. The way that she weaves a story with suspense, love, and friendships is something to enjoy.
When I saw this was going to be Everette's story, I was so excited! I love getting a story of the man who is quiet and keeps to himself. Plus, add in a man in uniform, and I am all in!
He is kind and has so many layers to him. The best part is the way he is with his son Logan! I swear their moments melted my heart.
Vivian is a single mom with secrets. The way she will do anything to protect her son shows the strength and kind of woman she is.
These two have a story you will love and enjoy from the first page until the last. I was so in love with the kids in the story and the sweetness of them.
The audio was a great listen and thorough enjoyed from start to finish.
Gregory Salinas has a voice that is perfect for Everette! He has this way of making the story flow seamlessly. I always enjoy his voice when he changes it for the kids in the story.
Jill Smith is a new to me narrator, and I am so glad I got a chance to listen to her. Jill has a voice that I thought fit Vivian the best. She has a way of making her voice fit the storyline.
If you could listen to this book, I would recommend it! It can be read as a standalone.

Love it!
Everett and Vivian
Love it! The narrators did a good job telling this story and giving the characters a voice. If you listened to the series you know Everett is the town cop and Vivian is new to town and works as a nurse for Ava and at the school once in a while. They are both single parents. At first Vivian tries to ignore Everett. Not only do you get to read/ listen to their relationship, they need to find who is out to get Vivian, a crazy ex, they are still trying to find the serial killer, family. I enjoyed listening to this series and can't wait for the next one to come out.

Love me series
This is the second installment in the Love Me Dangerous series. For the complete narrative, I highly recommend beginning with the first book in the series. This has been an absolutely delightful read. I appreciate the intriguing mystery and the added suspense. The romantic connections feel authentic and genuinely develop without any sense of being forced. Im genuinely looking forward to the next chapter in this series.
In this audiobook, I found two new narrators who really nailed bringing the characters to life. Gregory had this deep, rich voice that packed a lot of emotion, while Jill was incredible with her voice modulation, adding depth and nuance to the performance. Together, they crafted a listening experience that stuck with me well after the story ended. Their talent made sure each character's voice was unique, making the moments feel genuine.

Mystery and romance
Small Town
Single mom/dad
Cop x Nurse
Romantic suspense (murder mystery vibes)
Found family
Dual Narration - Gregory Salines & Jill Smith
The narration was really good. I enjoyed these two voices.
Vivian and her son Mateo are kind of on the run, in hiding looking for a new start. Her ex husband is a dirty cop and she wants to be as far away from him as she can afford.
Everett is a police officer who had a son of his own and is a bit prickly. He is trying to solve a few local murders.
These two are instantly attracted to each other but Vivian is fighting it because of her ex husband being a cop and her experience with him. Everett had this urge to protect Vivian and Mateo at any cost.
I enjoyed their story mystery mixed with the romance in this story. Over all it was a good listen.

Finding Love and Home
The narrator's did an amazing job! I was hooked on every word and couldn't stop listening. These narrators really compliment each other and the book flowed very well. This author has done it again. Truly a wonderfully written second chance at love romance with two people who couldn't be more perfect for each other once they let their walls down. Vivienne and Everett are two single parents who are hesitant to give love a go until they are forced to spend time together due to some unfortunately unsettling events going on in town. I love how these two merge their families in avery realistic way. We finally get some answers on the ongoing investigation. It had me guessing till the very end. This book is full of suspense, angst and steam.. I highly recommend this book and series.
I was sent a free audiobook from HCB and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Suspense and Romance!
Love Me Fierce gave you mystery and suspense with romance. The story immediately pulled me in from the start and I didn’t want to put it down. Vivian and Everett are both single parents. They first meet and she has an immediate distrust to him due to her past but she and her son are in need of help he steps in to help. The more time they spend together the more he is able to break down the walls she put up. I loved the strength Vivian has started over in a new town after being on the run from her ex husband. I loved that Everett was kind and protective and the relationship he had with his son. The story wove together the romance and suspense perfectly.
Jill Smith and Gregory Salinas perform this book in dual narration, both narrators are new to me and did great at bringing these characters to life and I loved both of their performances!

Great small-town romantic suspense!
Love Me Fierce is book 4 in the Love Me Dangerous series and lives up to its name. This small-town romance features Everett and Vivian and hits the ground running with Vivian coming across an accident in a snowstorm and calling it in. Everett is a Finn River police officer who responds to the accident and her traumatic history with cops has her on edge and trying to avoid him in spite of any attraction. Everett is a great character who slowly works his way into her confidence with his patience and charm and the undercurrent of their steamy connection. Vivian is the new nurse in town and is starting over again. She’s very brave and I love how she evolves to find her place in the world (while frightening and then giving in to her intense attraction to Everett). They are both single parents. There is a looming threat that adds suspense and delivers the perfect push for unexpected twists and turns as they try to solve several mysteries.
Narration by Gregory Salinas and Jill Smith is well done with excellent variation in characters and great performances throughout the story. Great casting for a book with characters of all ages and temperaments. I am really enjoying every book in this series!

Single parent, romantic suspense and so good.
Book 4 of this series delivered! Dakota Davies continues to captivate us with this small town of Finn River, Idaho. Vivian, with her son Mateo, is starting over after leaving her dirty vice cop ex-husband. On her way into town, she stops to help at an accident scene and has her first run in with Everett, a local cop. Understandably, she wants nothing to do with the police and avoids Everett going forward. It’s a small town so they continue to cross paths without incident until Vivian comes into trouble and possible threats from her past.
Not only do they have an undeniable attraction to each other, but when forced to spend time together, they realize they are both struggling with the same single parent issues and begin to find support in each other.
As this happens, Everett is still pursuing a serial killer before the trail gets too cold. Are these two things related? Dakota will keep you guessing until the end. I also enjoyed seeing characters like Zach, Hutch and Ava from the other books and FBI agent Luke Ballard (please tell me we get his story one day).
Gregory Salinas and Jill Smith were terrific narrating this story. Gregory has been in my ears a lot lately and I couldn’t be happier. He portrayed all facets of Everett. His grumpy, serious demeanor when tracking a serial killer. His protective nature, his vulnerability as he worries about doing right by his son and Vivian to his utter sweetness dealing with Mateo. Jill Smith is new to me, and she was perfect as Vivian. She showed Vivian’s strength and her absolute ability to remain calm under the extreme pressures she had to endure, all while doting on her son and her hesitancy to trust in another man.
Overall, I was riveted from start to finish. While this is the 4th book of the interconnected series and can be enjoyed as a standalone, I would recommend enjoying book 3 first to appreciate the full story line that starts there. We are left with hints to book 5 and the final installment and I can’t wait.
