About this listen

Better alone than in bad company.

That's Clarissa Sullivan's new philosophy. No more bad relationships. No more dead-end jobs. No more depending on anyone for anything. The rustic mountain cabin in the middle of nowhere is the perfect place to simplify her life and start over.

Adopting a mongrel stray isn't part of the plan. Neither is guarding her heart against her sexy, survivalist neighbor.

Marine Travis Maxwell is totally on board with that. He sought out the seclusion of the mountains to get away from betraying fiancées and back-stabbing best friends. The last thing he needs—or wants—is to get close to anyone ever again.

Worrying about his prickly, sexy neighbor isn't part of the plan. And any kind of relationship is definitely out of the question.

But in the wild, unforgiving wilderness, it just makes sense to have each other's back. Right?

This was okay but it was far too short. The story just started to get going when there was a sudden rush to wrap everything up neatly and end it. Not one of Rebecca Yarros’ best. Great narration though.
