Cassidy is just such a great heroine to read: she’s strong, she knows what she wants and she’s willing to fight for it. I ? LOVE ? THIS ? BOOK ? I’ve read it so many times now, it’s truly become one of my go-to’s for comfort reading. Prayin’ you’d get a man so when I’d come back I’d have a reason to stay away.” A man named John Priest – obviously a fake name – is her first paying customer, and remains one that stops by a few times over the next four years, always staying in cabin eleven. But in Deacon, the fourth book in a series of dangerous, troubled heroes who are sexy as hell but also super damaged, she has truly created a cozy read that is always one of the first that I turn to when I need a warm book-hug.ĭeacon follows Cassidy Swallow, who owns a series of 12 cabins around her home that she rents out to paying customers for a few night stays and vacations. I make no bones about the fact that Kristen Ashley is one of my favorite comfort reads, namely because I’ve read so many of her books so many times, her writing is truly like coming home. But one night when Deacon’s control slips, Cassidy takes a chance. She knows he’s the kind of man who could destroy a woman. But when he does, he gives her nothing.įrom the first time she sees him, Cassidy knows Deacon is dead inside. He fights it, but he loses, always coming back for more. Cassidy’s pull for him to connect is strong.

One of them is Cassidy Swallow, a young woman willing to work hard to live her quiet dream in a house by a river surrounded by aspen and pine. Then he returns to some remote cabins in the Colorado Mountains and finds they have new owners. Cold as ice and living off the grid, Deacon has no intention to connect, not with anyone. Out of necessity, he left the normal world to descend into the criminal world and found he fit. Also by this author: Penmort Castle (Ghosts and Reincarnation, #1)ĭeacon has an ugly history, a history that broke him, leaving him a ghost of a man.
