Mari Merripen can’t stay away from bad boys, but when she heads to Recurve Ridge, she crosses paths with men who both desire her and want to destroy her. 

In a terror-fueled haze after being assaulted, Mari races through a forest she doesn’t know, hell-bent on survival. When she crashes into a mountain of a man, she isn’t sure if he’s her salvation… or her new tormentor. She cowers in his home, healing slowly, and vows not to give her heart away. But the five men of Recurve Ridge etch themselves soul deep—from the cheeky bartender to the unyielding outlaw who saved her life but refuses to let her go. Each mirrors her trauma and makes taking her freedom harder with each sunrise.

Robe Huntingdon craves the serenity of the upstate New York mountain range he calls home. Recurve Ridge is perfect, except for the enemy on his doorstep, who earned him a dishonorable discharge. Mari Merripen showcases what he hates about the society that disdains his existence and everything he desires. Torn between giving her the freedom she wants and keeping her against her will, he risks shattering their fragile trust. Robe finally offers her a truth he knows will break her: his enemy is her enemy. 

She can’t go home, just like everyone on Recurve Ridge.

Now live!


Mulch scattered beneath my feet as I tore through the forest, its soft crackle overriding a brittle roar that consumed all thought inside my head. 

Get away. Can’t stop. Don’t let them catch me. 

If I went back, I might never get out. 

No “might” about it. I couldn’t go back to that table. The shadows. The hands— 
can’t, can’t, can’t— 

I couldn’t stop, not even if my brain kicked into gear. Something primal had been activated, and my body entered flight mode without my mind’s permission. Not that I needed to give it. Every nerve ending numbed in a desperate bid to survive, leaving me a willing host carried away from horror and death and seeking the facade of freedom and safety.

There was nothing worse in the woods than him. The darkest monsters resided in their plush upper-class digs, not out in the roughened forest like wild mountain men… right?

Wrong.

I would discover just how dark the monsters in the forest could be.

Myself most of all.

ARC Review: The Charmed Fates by Christine Wenrick

Tomorrow is the release day of Christine Wenrick's 'The Charmed Fates', the final installment of her amazing trilogy.  We'd like to say a HUGE congratulations to Christine on the amazing success of her fabulous trilogy. Reviewer: Em Rating: 5/5 Wow, oh wow!! This book  didn’t disappoint me one iota. I opened to the first page to be induced and transported back into the world of Caleb, Olivia, Jax and Gemma. I started to read and couldn’t put the book down. I wasn’t surprised as I had had the same experience with the first two books, the storyline wrapped around me and enfolded me thoroughly taking me on the journey.
