Kane Harmon runs his family's garage in a small, coastal New England town and avoids the female tourists at all costs. He took a chance on one of those a few years ago and she broke his heart. Apparently Kane was good enough for a summer fling but not good enough to be a husband, and he’s not had much interest in the opposite sex since.
Halley had a rough childhood with a drug addict mother and too many bad foster homes until her aunt took in Halley and her sister Phoebe. Halley doesn’t like crowds or people in her personal space, and is very careful to only engage in meaningless encounters that don’t lead to a relationship. She’s content to avoid town and spend her time painting in her beachside cottage. But when her car breaks down and Kane shows up to help, they both get a lot more than they bargained for.
I was intrigued by this book’s cover, so I was glad to be able to read an advance copy. I thought it looked dark and suspenseful, but Kane and Halley's story was surprisingly light and uplifting. They both had plenty of pain in their past and currently have their hands full, Kane with his gambling father and single-mom sister and her son, and Halley with ghosts from her foster care experiences and family surprises, so it isn’t an ideal time for a relationship. Plus the fact that Halley doesn’t do relationships.
Kane was such a wonderful hero! He knew what he wanted, but he was wise enough to cajole and entice Halley to his way of thinking, rather than laying it all out and scaring her off. Halley has only trusted two people in her life, her aunt and her sister, and she’s so afraid of letting anyone else get close, because anyone else who has gotten close has hurt her. But she wants something with Kane she has never wanted before, and she knows she'll have to let go of her fear.
Fearless is a terrific start to a promising new series by a talented author. With an abundance of heat, a little humor and a ton of heart, this book is definitely worth a 1-Click. If you’re like me and enjoy a series of standalone romances, you’ll be eager to catch up with these characters in Phoebe's story, Breathe.
