About this listen

Finding the future they deserve will mean leaving the past behind…

Navy SEAL Noah Alba is on extended leave after a terrible mistake resulted in the loss of his K-9 partner. He arrives in Asheville, North Carolina, hoping to get his head on straight before he returns overseas. When an old friend recruits him to train service dogs for veterans, he doesn't feel ready. Still, rambunctious rescue dog Lucky is awfully hard to resist—as is the drop-dead stunning bride Noah encounters while hiking.

When she finds out her fiancé is only marrying her to gain control of her family's brewery, Peyton Sutton's I do turns into a hard pass real quick. But Peyton's father and now-jilted ex are determined to force the match at any cost. Running away can only get her so far, until Noah—and his adorably fierce canine companion—step in as an unlikely protector.

Guarding a runaway bride in the close quarters of her downtown loft is no way to avoid a simmering attraction. But Peyton can't outrun her ex, and Noah can't outrun his past; they'll have to find a way to move forward together, or risk making another terrible mistake.

the plotline to this story ran a bit thin, in this day and age I wouldn't think it would be an idea to be considered...unless it was written a bit more intricately with a few ways in which the baddie could pull it off.
the hotness scenes were lighter than book 1 but the way the H's meet is funny.
Ms Owens sure can drop some one liners in there and serve up some tummy laughing scenes.
the Heroine was just gorgeous and quirkely funny.
Patrick was good with the different voice tones but the only thing I'd say is that I wasn't really keen on Noahs accent...it was almost Brooklyn like and although it kinda suited the grumpy side of Noah, I'm not sure about the happy side.
simple love and life in a city was the main plot with a little action twist which was like i said before, a bit thin.
I still enjoyed the pace of the book, it doesn't get bogged down..more on the lighter side I'd say.
book 3 sound like theres a bit more grit but....we gotta wait!!!!

I liked Jack's story better
