About this audiobook

Opposites attract when a bashful librarian and a ruggedly handsome cop with a dark past meet one day in the Colorado woods—and dare to test their chemistry . . .  

There's nothing like the first time . . .

In Carnal, Colorado, Faye Goodknight is the town's quiet, shy librarian. She may also be Carnal's last remaining virgin. For years, Faye has had a crush on Chace Keaton, but the gorgeous cop has always been unattainable. She's resigned to live contentedly with only her books for company—until Faye suddenly meets Chace alone in the woods . . .

Chace doesn't think he's the good guy everyone believes him to be. He's made a lot of choices he regrets, including denying his feelings for Faye. Through his choices, he's come to believe the pretty librarian is too good for him, but after their time in the woods, Chace realizes that she may be his last chance for redemption. Soon, their long simmering desires grow to a burning passion. Yet always casting a shadow over their happiness is Chace's dark past . . .

Ratings and reviews

This book was a fairy tale come true! I cannot express how many times my eyes teared up with joy, happiness, sadness, and empathy for the characters. Faye and Chase have such big hearts, such integrity, and care so deeply that it invades your soul and you feel right along with them. There is a valedictorian speech in the epilogue that captures it beautifully, they see wrong and they do good. Not because they have to, or want praise for it, but because it needs to be done. The story didn’t take most of the paths I thought it would, but it took even better ones. The big bad broke my heart and the aftermath still had me sobbing as Faye adjusts and Chase deals. Faye held out for her hero and Chase wanted his angel, and they both got that and their fervently wished for happily ever after <3
