Publisher's summary

Blythe Coopman never imagined she'd be homeless, but a series of events has landed her on San Antonio's streets...hungry, tired, and scared. She clings to her most precious possession, a phone accidentally swiped from a local firefighter, who, instead of canceling the number, starts texting her. Soon, the man's calls and texts are the highlight of her days, but she declines his frequent offers of help. Blythe refuses to be his burden - until a vicious attack takes the decision out of her hands.

When the woman he's already begun to care for ends up in the ER, Sawyer “Squirrel” McClay is livid - and ashamed. He should have insisted she accept his help long ago. Now, he's not taking no for an answer. While his friends rally round Blythe, Squirrel's bond with her grows stronger by the day, until he realizes he'll do anything to keep her safe, healthy, and happy...even as his own lifelong insecurities work against him.

But despite leaving the streets behind, Blythe and Sawyer discover old dangers still linger, threatening to end the couple's new bliss before it's barely begun.

Yassss!

We finally get Blythe’s story. She has been a character has been in the last three books. Always on the edge but never the focus. It’s nice to see Squirrel’s alpha come out to play cause dayum!!!

Another great book in a great series.

GREAT READ

Loved it. It really makes you take a look at the world of the homeless and makes you want to try and help in some way. Great story. Ready for the next one.

Loved it, but…

I’m a huge Susan Stoker and Erin Mallon, and, as usual, the female hero is strong and capable. My only issue the error in the legality of a child’s responsibility for a deceased parent’s debts; they don’t have any. Oh, any assets belonging to the deceased are definitely up for grabs by any and all creditors. But Blythe’s mother had zero assets to her name, nor did Blythe, for that matter. So, basically the story is based on the erroneous premise of inherited debt. Still a great read.

One of my favorites

Wow finally getting to hear Blythe’s story. I absolutely loved this one. Found my self smiling and laughing on several occasions. One of my favorites even though it’s hard to choose which book is at the top but it for sure is at the top. You won’t be disappointed

Boring

The story was boring and unrealistic. No man in existence is that sweet. And I didn’t care for the narrator. The way she drags out the last word of a sentence is very annoying.

Such a great message..

This book hit me a little differently than other Stoker books. It is still written amazingly well and has a fantastic narrator, but the message behind this story is what impressed me the most. 💜

Couldn't give high rating on this one...

Erin Mallon is an excellent narrator, so listening wasn't taxing. What I disliked about this book/storyline was that it doesn't really ever happen like this. I imagine that this book would bring heartbreak to any homeless person who might pick it up in a public library...because it doesn't resolve like this for the homeless. I was on the board of a homeless shelter and volunteered inside that shelter. Never did I hear a story like this...and I heard many stories from the homeless. Also, I was a bit discouraged that so many people that the storyline brought into this woman's life, one would think it would open their eyes to homelessness on a more regional level. Why help just one woman, or one woman and her son...but not help the hundreds of other homeless people living at the shelters? They had the means, the money, the connections. So that didn't make sense to me. I think their could have been a global message in this book, instead of just a single love story for a misfit.

I have been anxious to read Blithe's story after Malena & then Sadie's. It was even better than I had hoped. This story gives a little insight into what being homeless can be like. It is romanticized many times but here gives a more realistic point of view.

Erin Mallon did a fantastic job bringing the story to life and has some amazing voices.
