Story
Heiress Daphne Ryan is uncertain about spending a week at the sprawling country estate of the family of her sister’s boyfriend. For starters, she doesn’t get along with her sister. Then there’s the fact his family is old, wealthy aristocracy, and Daphne’s from brash, new American money. Mostly, it’s that everyone knows Duncroft House is haunted by the ghost of a 1920s film star who died there. Deemed an accident, for nearly a century, people are sure it was murder.

Duke Evans didn’t expect to find a beautiful woman in a staring contest with a bison on his favorite hiking trail. He also didn’t expect to see her again after rescuing her from the surly beast. As the sheriff in Calamity, Montana, he’s had his fair share of surprises but none as pleasant as pulling over a shiny black car and finding his mysterious hiking companion behind the wheel. Only she lied to Duke. She gave him a name as fake as her hair color.

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. And how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

Publisher's Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Kristen Ashley comes the new book in her River Rain series, Fighting the Pull.
Hale Wheeler inherited billions from his father. He’s decided to take those resources and change the world for the better. He’s married to his mission, so he doesn’t have time for love.
There’s more lurking behind this decision. He hasn’t faced the tragic loss of his father, or the bitterness of his parents’ divorce. He doesn’t intend to follow in his father’s footsteps, breaking a woman’s heart in a way it will never mend. So he vows he’ll never marry.
But Hale is intrigued when he meets Elsa Cohen, the ambitious celebrity news journalist who has been reporting on his famous family. He warns her off, but she makes him a deal. She’ll pull back in exchange for an exclusive interview.
Elsa Cohen is married to her career, but she wants love, marriage, children. She also wants the impossibly handsome, fiercely loyal, tenderhearted Hale Wheeler.
They go head-to-head, both denying why there are fireworks every time they meet. But once they understand their undeniable attraction, Elsa can’t help but fall for the dynamic do-gooder.
As for Hale, he knows he needs to fight the pull of the beautiful, bold, loving Elsa Cohen, because breaking her would crush him.

Love this series
Another deeply moving addition to the River Rain series. I’m glad there will be more. Haille and Elsa’s story is deeply embedded in the values of love, vision, family and community and explores the emotional and physical impact of childhood trauma with authenticity and compassion.

Better than I thought
When I first read about this one, I wasn’t so sure about these two getting together but it turned out surprisingly well! Thanks for keeping the political smarminess to a minimum! Maybe look for a different male performer. Stella was fabulous as usual!

Loved it!
I wasn't sure I would like the story of Elsa and Hale, but I absolutely loved it. I have heard these narrators before and they are quite good. I initially had to let go of the previous characters I mostly associated with their voices. The story is amazing, I wish we had the facts from the box in earlier stories but it was an oh wow moment when they opened the box.

A fuggily girl's wet dream
...and as hamfisted as any of the politically correct-- and boring as fuck-- tripe coming out of Hollywood; complete with a male feminist "character" lecturing the audience. I guess the author's still an insecure little girl who thinks she's going to get a cookie one day if she keeps spouting the current talking points.

Wokeness pulls you out
This should have been a 5 star story. Even though over 4 stories, the heroine from the first gets turned into more of a selfish seeming bitch which isn’t cool, but I could have that. It’s all of the digs against anyone who has a political opinion other than the authors that were unnecessary and become insulting the more it continued.we really don’t need the “ rules for thee “ but not for me, coming from Characters that live lavishly and extravagantly. I’m not saying they shouldn’t fly in private jets. I’m saying cut the woke preach.

She Does It Again!
Stunning addition to the series. Just keeps getting better and better. And Corey is the best anti-hero; he’s becoming one of my favorite characters. Ashley does an excellent job portraying the mixed bag of emotions Hale feels, and the conflict there in. Can’t wait for the next book and more of Reese Vaughn’s role in it.

Wonderful way to spend my day outside working
I never thought Hale would find happiness. His determination wouldn't allow for it. His past seemed to have ruined his chances. The only sense of family and happiness was Genny, Tom, Duncan and their children. He would do anything to protect them.
That desire brings Hale into contact with Elsa, a sort of celebrity gossip. The chemistry between them oozes off the pages. That doesn't seem to matter to Hale, he is his own worst enemy. Elsa is his white knight. She will have to fight and be very patient if they are to reach their happily ever after.
