Story
In the dark alley of a pub, the words "Please don't" take hold of her heart and break the silence she seeks. Thinking herself beyond redemption, she tentatively grabs on to the slim thread of hope that unfolds inside of her. Holding her secrets close, she can't resist the comforting draw coming from The Skipper. The unconditional friendships it offers, the protective roof it provides, and the spark that its owner ignites in her - melting the frost off her heart, and slowly stripping away her resistance.

Publisher's Summary
More often than not, Clint Mason has his foot firmly wedged in his mouth, which tends to get him in plenty of hot water with the ladies. Although his laid back good ole' Southern charm does not fly far with the female population of Cedar Tree, the big burly contractor hides his dark side well.
The only one Beth Franklin allows herself to rely on is Beth, and so far that has served her well. Just when her son disappears after dropping his little guy off on her doorstep, her life seems to spiral out of control. For the first time ever, fearing for his safety, the fiercely independent waitress is forced to be on the receiving end of a helping hand.
That's not easy for her, especially since the shovel-sized hand belongs to a man whose approach has run hot and cold the last year, leaving her feeling off balance. With a steady and commanding force, he exposes her softer side, while doing everything he can to keep her and those close to her safe.

Cedar Tree Intrigue
Loved this audio! I really liked the narrators, well done. I adore the whole series.
This book is about a couple 46 yr olds who have both had some hard knocks in life and who are both trying to shield their hearts from more hurt. Beth is crusty & grumpy at times & quick to fly off the handle so their relationship develops with some sparks & bumps along the way, but I really liked her ornery butt LOL. She has raised a son and is now a grandmother.
Clint had a failed marriage in the worst possible way. He moved his business to Cedar Tree about a year prior and seems to put his foot in his mouth when speaking to women.
Most of the time I like to get away from reality when I read a book and with the drama & suspense that takes place after Beth's son goes missing, it certainly is a step outside and full of suspenseful moments. Gus' investigative are right on it, so we see all the other characters from the series.
But Beth & Clints' actual relationship sits hard and fast in reality & I found it refreshing to read about butt dimples & t*tts losing their fight with gravity and with all that, Freya creates a beautiful, believable man who appreciates the woman foremost & therefore whatever body shape she brings with her is beautiful, because it's his Beth.
Clint is the ultimate alpha-male and he walks atop a fine line that teeters into male chauvinist at times. But with the dual POV, you see into his heart and his struggle to verbalise what he feels, so I let him off with the "little woman" comments because you learn just how fiercely protective he is. I think I'm rambling LOL The short message to this story is that I really liked it, even more so after the second time around.

although I enjoy the plotline in this book I think it's the least exciting of all the others...so far anyway.
it doesn't mean it's not as suspenseful as the others, it's just that while there is a couple of plots meshing in previous stories this outline is one big one. I'm not connecting with Beth as much as I did with the other heroines. she's a bit too bitchy and she cries a lot. while Clint has the patience of a saint. even if he does need a slap upside the head with some of his stupid sentences.
In most stories, the Feds are portrayed as nasty pasties. they're nearly always described as their operations always having "collateral damage " I don't think I like the FBI. not in fictional stories anyway.
the steam is a bit tamer and the introduction of Max mellows the tone of the book, creating some good humour. especially near the end.
Noel did well tackling Clint's southern drawl, and Tanya was brilliant as always.
I'm looking forward to Malachi
