Good Romantic Suspense
3.5⭐️
Maya is covered in bruises and fleeing an abusive ex with her daughter Harper & stowes away on a boat heading for a small island off the coast of maine. That boat happens to belong to Torin a grumpy closed off ex assassin who has spent the last five years isolating himself after the death of his wife and son for which he blames himself. Personally I love a grumpy reluctant MMC who even though adamant he doesn't like the FMC or want anything to do with her just can't help himself when he sees she needs help and Torin gives exactly that, he fixes a leak in her cabins roof, chops wood for her fire and allows Harper to drag him into conversations and spend time with him. As the story goes on his feelings towards Maya change and he becomes obsessed with getting to know & figuring her and her past out. The chemistry between them is there and after rescuing her it finally combusts and from that point on keeps doing so frequently throughout the book and Ria sure knows how to write some excellent spice, the dirty talk is on point and the way he calls Maya "Little Doe" just worked for me.
I would say this is definitely more of a Romantic Suspense than a Dark Romance, it does deal with dark themes to an extent but in my personal opinion none of them are written about in extensive enough detail to warrant this falling under the Dark Romance banner. But reading is subjective so check content and TWs if necessary. I wanted Harper to be more present in the story and I wish we had gotten some more scenes with her but especially to have seen Torin form a deeper connection/bond with her would have just elevated this story for me. I enjoyed the side characters and Im looking forward to Rhetts book as his character intrigued me. This was a good read, I enjoyed it and was my first book narrated by Janine Granda, her performance was great and I will definitely listen to her again, Troy Duran was incredible as always, his gruff tone just works for characters like this. I will definitely be listening to the next book in this series at some point. 🌶🌶🌶

Get ready! This is fantastic!
This book is exactly why I love Ria Wilde. She knows how to capture my attention and keep me riveted for the entire story. This book is packed with suspense and passion, my two favorite things and this book could not be better. Maya has had enough of her abusive husband and makes her escape with her daughter as stowaways on a boat. Hoping to get away and not ever be found again, she has fear and hope working for her. Torin is a grumpy man, working through the guilt of his own past and dealing with life as it comes along. This woman is a true inconvenience to him. Until the chemistry between them explodes. Happiness is a wonderful thing until Maya's past comes to haunt her. Will Torin be able to keep her and her daughter safe? I was completely engrossed in this story all day, and didn't want to stop. It's exciting and the characters had me caring about the outcome. I loved every minute and I can't wait for the next book in the series!
Tory Duran and Janina Granda are a great team. Both understand their characters and bring each emotion and each facet of their personalities alive. Duran plays the cranky Torin with ease, but quickly changes to the over protective alpha I love that he does. Granda comes in as Maya, scared yet brave and her passion comes through each scene. Loved these two and their narration.

Great Small Town Dark Romance!
This is the first book in the Ravenpeak Bay Series, a small town dark romance. This is a series of interconnected standalones. Torin and Maya's story is emotional, and grippingly engaging. The prologue is heartbreaking. Maya, a single mom, is beautiful, smart, and caring. She is a strong survivor. Torin, a grumpy fisherman, is handsome, and enigmatic. His story is heart-wrenching. Maya's daughter Harper is so cute! The storyline is enthralling, filled with tragedy, angst, passion, and suspense. Troy Duran and Janine Granda did an outstanding job bringing these characters, and this story to life. They are perfect as Torin, Maya and Harper. This is a great team author/narrators. The audio production is perfect. I highly recommend it. Looking forward to listening to Like a Hurricane, the next book in the series.
