Loneliness is overwhelming in its intensity.
There are times you think you can cope, that you can make it despite the hollow feeling in your chest. Then there are the times when you realize you can’t breathe through the pain of loss.
When Gable Buchanan Carter walks into Athena’s life, it’s like a light is switched on inside her chest. Suddenly she can breathe.
But just as much as she wants him, Gable just as much wants nothing to do with her.
It’s like a cold stab of ice right to the gut at the knowledge that the person you want, that you love, wants nothing to do with you.
At least, that’s what she thinks.
In reality, Gable wants Athena Grace Murphy with every piece of his soul.
But how can he confidently say he’s doing the right thing by bringing her into his life when it’s so dangerous? She’s already lost every person she loves, how can he put her through the possibility of losing one more?
That’s right, he can’t.
So he’ll stay away from her. Even if it kills him.

5 Star Read
I love these characters and this family. Amazing. The emotion, the drama, the suspense, the banter, just all the things. The Carter Family is loyal and they love hard. Gable has been one of the family members I have been a little indifferent about. But he definitely did not disappoint. Athena is smart and genuine but has faced a ton of loss. Gable and her are made for each other. Another 5 star must read in the Carter Brothers Series. Couldn’t put it down. Highly recommended.

pair of sort of enemies is awesome!
Athena has lost everyone but her horrible mother. But here in her new town, she’s found a new circle of friends. She’s only had one boyfriend, so isn’t experienced, but she knows when she’s interested in someone. Too bad that someone doesn’t reciprocate her feelings. Too bad Gable can’t stand the sight of her, because she knows they could be so good together.Gable has stayed away from Athena for two reasons: because his undercover work means he’s too dangerous to be around, and their age gap is a problem, especially to his friends, who are her friends too. But when that undercover work forces the two of them into something more, he finds he can’t stay away any longer. Not only does he have to protect her, but he wants her in his life, period. Now he just has to protect her from the person coming for her, then they can have the future he never thought he’d have with anyone.This pair of sort of enemies is awesome! Even when I wanted to yell at Gable for being such a bonehead and hurting Athena, even not on purpose, I loved him. Alpha jerk at times, but ultimately such a sweetheart when he finally got his head on straight. But the real star here is Athena. She’s so freaking adorable – quirky, smart, and so strong, having survived loss and not one, but two horrible family members. There’s a whole secondary cast around for support, and I have to say I’m really eager for all their coming stories now. Gable’s twin, Garrett, is up next in Yolo, and I’m impatiently waiting for it.

Gable and Athena!
Gable and Athena! Her back story is definitely an interesting one. The little twist towards the end about her sister really threw me. How could her mother do that?! I loved the way Gable and Athena were together, minus his stupidity lol.

Great, emotional read!!
Another great LLV read!! An age gap, police main character and their banter is some of the best in this series!! These two were just fantastic. I felt horrible for the pain that Athena goes through. All the people she loses and her mother, all the pain that witch puts her through unnecessarily! UGH she makes me want to throat punch her repeatedly!! An amazing wonderful read and Gable is an absolute great H, or at least the majority of the time. Men have their moments, but he comes back with a vengeance. This story is full of so many emotions and feelings, it will have your heart so full and you on the verge of tears. Such a sucker for a hot cop!!I highly recommend this book. Told in dual POV.

Athena is my favorite!
I received an ARC for this book. I loved this book. Athena is one of my favorite characters if this series. She’s so sweet and herself. Gable just had to get over the age hap to see that she is a lot older in her mind than her actual age. They fit so well. I loved everything about the book! The birth scene was one of my favorites.

Incredibly addicting, captivating and interesting!
5 amazing stars!(Police romance, age gap, forced proximity, female in danger, alpha male)This is Gable and Athena’s story.Lani Lynn Vale does it AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN.She writes another freaking amazing police romance book with a delicious alpha male who made me swoon nonstop…even when I was mad at him…and a sassy, sweet and quirky female who I could easily be best friends with.Gable Carter, the male main character and police officer,…YUM. I don’t need to say anything else.Athena, the main female main character, is quirky, sweet, SO SMART and a bad@ss. She has been through so much. Her sister was kidnapped when she was little and proceeds to lose everyone in her life. Except for the terrible person who is her mom. Her mom is selfish and uses Athena constantly. Luckily she is surrounded by amazing friends and the Carter family. This book is her story. You learn more about what happened to her sister, what her mother is hiding and experience the love that is possible in her own found family. Also, there is delicious tension and blazing hot chemstry…SO GOOD.I don’t know what Lani does to make her stories so incredibly addicting, captivating and interesting but she does it book after book!
