Amber Ridge, Book 2

De: Nyssa Kathryn

Narrado por: CJ Bloom, Aiden Snow

He’s her neighbor…her enemy…so why has she told everyone he’s her boyfriend?

Sky Williams has a neighbor from hell. Every day, Becket finds a new way to torture her. Sometimes it involves cutting trees on her property line; other days—most days—it includes using an annoying nickname he knows she hates. It’s safe to say she can’t stand the guy. So why then, when her parents persistently try to set her up with one of their church friends, does she find herself blurting out that she’s dating Becket?

Retired Navy SEAL Becket Hayes has a great life. His family is amazing, he’s the fire chief of Amber Ridge—a job he loves. And more recently, he’s found unexpected joy in fighting with his cute but easily riled neighbor. She seems to take offense in his very existence. So when she publicly declares Becket as her boyfriend, he’s intrigued enough to play along. It’s just meant to be for show, but the longer they “date”, the less fake it feels.

When a string of seemingly unconnected incidents occur, putting Sky’s life in danger, Becket suddenly has even more reason to remain close. It appears there are parts of her past that refuse to be left behind. And someone determined to ensure Sky has no future—with or without Becket.

Stunning! Fake dating, firefighter mystery, everything you want

I would recommend this book to almost anyone. Chief firefighter meets a woman running a doggy daycare, and they happen to be next-door neighbors, add in some mystery and intrigue, some fires that are mysteriously, taking place, a whole lot of tension and found family and drama, and you get a book that you can’t stop listening to. The narrators for this were perfection, I adore anything with dual narration in these two knocked it out of the park. If you’re looking for your next audiobook, just go ahead and click buy on this one. It’s worth the credit!

Awesome Story & Narration🎧Gripping & Exciting!

Nyssa Kathryn welcomes you back to Amber Ridge for another wonderful small town romance, an enemies-to-lovers romantic suspense that captivates your attention and tugs at your heartstrings the entire time. This second book of the series is Becket Hayes, the Fire Chief of Amber Ridge, and Sky Williams, owner of a doggy day care in town and Becket’s fairly new neighbor. Sky took an immediate disliking to her annoying neighbor, and she was not afraid to share her dislike to Becket, which edges him on and makes him even more annoying. There is something about Sky that makes Becket want to get under her skin, maybe it is her snark and witty comeback or that she gives as good as she gets. The man just infuriates her, but when her mother tries to fix her up with Tony, a guy from her parent’s church, she blurts out that she has a boyfriend and the first person who comes to mind is Becket. Becket was happy to take the role of her fake boyfriend, even happier to spend some time with her. The chemistry between those two was electric, and all that bickering and back-and-forth banter was their foreplay. He picks up on Sky’s battle with some inner demons, which she isn’t ready to share with him right away, but when some shady incidents happen, she thinks trouble follows her and he thinks trouble is after her. I loved all the layers of this story and how it all plays out, with the perfect balance of drama, a touch of angst, witty dialogue and humor, some charming and heartwarming moments, mystery, thrilling and suspenseful moments, heartfelt emotions, and a slow burn, but so worth the wait romance. Kathryn keeps you wondering and on your toes for the suspenseful storylines, and just when you think you figured out who was responsible, she pulls the rug out from under you and presents an “I never saw that coming moment”, well done, very well done. As always, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. Nyssa Kathryn, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 CJ Bloom and Aiden Snow did a fabulous job bringing these characters to life, giving each their own voice, and I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters would sound. Both were naturals in the lead roles, grasping every aspect of their personality and demeanor. Bloom’s Sky was absolute perfection, handled her witty dialogue effortlessly and brought out her every emotion. Snow did the same in Becket’s role and was just as amazing. They were fantastic covering the roles of the secondary and side characters and their talent and versatility as voice artists truly shined. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their and their captivating performance keeps you riveted to the story.

holy suspense!

this book just keeps you on your toes through the entire thing. the love story is so sweet and natural, the suspenseful situations are plentiful, the narrators are incredible. this is one of Nyssa Katherine's best. and that's saying a lot!

New Favorite Series!!!

This by far is one of my favorite series this year. After having the pleasure of listening to the audiobook of Book 1 of the Amber Ridge series, I was ESTASTIC to see this one come out! Nyssa by far is one of my favorite authors now. The character chemistry is phenomenal (and the voice performances only made this story better), love the plots Nyssa chooses and oh the TWISTS are amazing. I did NOT want to put this down. I'm so excited for the next book! Can't wait for book 3!

A wonderful addition to this much loved series

We are back in Amber Ridge where another of the Hayes siblings finds his match.
Becket Hayes is a former Navy SEAL and nowadays the Fire Chief in Amber Ridge. Everyone likes him, except his gorgeous neighbor whom he seems to constantly annoy. Sometimes it seems , he does it to see her “fired up”.
Sky Williams is that neighbor. She moved back home after some heartbreaking occurrences in her previous town and now owns the local pet care. She considers Becket to be the worse of neighbors. Not only does he butchers the tree on her property , he now he is opposed to her having a fence between their properties. Maybe with it, she will stop the desire to strangle Becket. and he will stop calling her Peaches.
In the midst of it all, her parents want to fix her up with a guy , and even have invited an old neighbor to come for a visit so they can set her up.
In a desperate move, Sky tells her parents that Becket is her boyfriend . Intrigued by Sky , he goes along with the farce. Neither realizing that feelings will develop.
The plot thickens when an arsonist is in town as well as a thief. Is the same person guilty of both crimes ?
All this makes Sky nervous, since it seems her past is now becoming her present.
The story was engaging with some humorous moments . The main characters were well developed and likable .
I am looking forward to the next story in the series.
I was entrusted an audio vesion as well as an ebook of this story book. Loved both.
Especially the audiobook where CJ Bloom and Aiden Snow brought the story to life.
The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Intense & swoony

Sky & Beckets tension, & their push & pull made this such a good story. There was amazing chemistry, banter & snark, and also plenty of tension, suspense, & emotion.
I enjoyed watching their relationship bloom & grow, watching Sky stand up for herself & watching Beckett fall hard & fast.
The narration was absolutely perfect.
