About this listen

A new town. A fresh start. An old enemy.

Aspen Davies had three reasons to move to the small town of Amber Ridge: to get away from her overbearing mother; to escape the clutches of her psychotic ex; and Jesse Hayes. Okay, maybe Jesse isn’t a reason to relocate her entire life. After all, he’s just a friend. A housemate. And someone she absolutely is not going to date. At least…that’s what she keeps telling herself.

Discharged from the military, Jesse Hayes is back in his hometown of Amber Ridge. Only, he’s not alone, as he expected. His new housemate is right down the hall, and every day with Aspen is a new form of torture. She just got out of a relationship, and she’s not looking to get into a new one. He knows that. Doesn’t make wanting her any easier. He needs to keep his distance, for both their sakes.

But when Aspen’s past follows her to her new home, keeping his distance is no longer an option. Jesse needs to keep Aspen safe and in his sights. Because the enemy is proving formidable—and clearly playing for keeps.

A Small Town, Friends to Lovers, Romantic Suspense from Bestselling author Nyssa Kathryn.

Solid start to the series

This author has mastered the art of dual threat story lines. I enjoyed the characters and town. The representation of mental health and domestic violence was accurate/realistic. I loved how much the narrators brought this story to life.

The voice actors were emotionally charged

You can tell the difference between a narrator and a voice actor, these are voice actors! I normally don’t enjoy third person dialogue but this one was good.

Have been waiting for this

I love Nyssa Kathryn, and have been waiting for this to hit audible. Connor Crais can read a dictionary and I’d listen. Both he and Lucy River did a great job narrating. I cannot wait for the series to continue!

Suspense & Mystery + DUET narration

This is the begining of a new series by author Nyssa Kathryn. Smalltown, friends to lovers, ex-military and law enforcement MMCs are some of my very favorite tropes. All of that plus the suspense, mystery, and action kept me interested until the end. Lucy Rivers & Connor Crais performed the DUET narration, and they were terrific. The only thing I didn't like was that much of the dialog for Aspen (didn't notice it as much for other FCs) was whispery & breathy, which was distracting to me. I had to use a very low volume and higher speed (1.25-1.4) to make it easier to listen to. Otherwise, I loved the narration & thought the acting was great.

A wonderful start to the series

his talented author delivers a winner in this first book of her new series Amber Ridge.
Aspen Davies , a romance author, needs a new start so what better place to go than to Amber Ridge. A place where she can get away from her emotionally and mentally unstable mother, an abusive ex, and a chance to maybe strengthen a friendship with Jesse Hayes, from whom she is renting a room.
Jesse is back home after his career in the military in the Special Forces, spent mostly as a Ghost. Nowadays, he’s the sheriff in town.
As the friendship between these two continues to progress , a future might be waiting for them. But Aspen’s past invades that possibility when her ex and her mother come to town making her life a nightmare.
Is it only her ex that is after her, or is someone else involved in this turn of events?
From the start, the story is engaging, the main characters as well as the secondary ones are well developed, and the suspense has one guessing who is responsible for the chaos. Will they succeed in destroying all that Aspen has been hoping for her future?
Though I am partial to the author’s Mercy Ring and Project Arma series, this latest one is sure to be another winner. 
I was entrusted a copy of this book as well as the audiobook version. Both wonderful versions. Especially the audiobook in which the narrators Lucy Rivers and Connor Crais bring the story to life. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
