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.

Just loved the first book about Amber ridge. And what a clever little twist that Nyssa has put in there. Just to keep me guessing and I did do that. Because my mind was on another track. And I was hoping I was wrong. And I was and I feel better. We have 2 wonderful main characters. Jesse has already proved himself in the last book of misty peak and we just had to get to know Aspen, which we did. And we found out she is a great match for Jesse, as she has strength, and a whole lot of sass.
The narration was brilliant as always. I so enjoy these 2 narrators and can't wait to see who I think, will be book 2. Beckett and sky, thanks Nyssa for a great story.

In typical Nyssa form all the fields from romance to action.

In my search for Aussie authors to read/listen to, I am glad I found Nyssa Kathryn. I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this story and it was delivered by two talented narrators. This will definitely be a book I will read/listen to again. I cannot wait for more from Amber Ridge.

Great start to the series
