Ryker Falls Book 5: Hold Me Close by Wendy Vella

Hold Me Close (Ryker Falls #5)
Ryker Falls Book 5

The life he has always known is about to change

Findlay Hudson, landed in Ryker Falls, Colorado, leaving a dysfunctional family and his bad attitude behind. He has friends he now thinks of as family, and considers himself happy. All that changes when Maggie Winter, a sexy, alluring red-head, returns to Ryker Falls. She’s had her big London adventure, but Maggie’s clearly hurting and vulnerable now.

They’d always struck sparks off each other, but never moved on them. Second time around though, Fin doesn’t seem able to keep his distance, and suddenly the comfortable life he’d always thought he wanted is turned on its head. Maggie’s arrival brings overwhelming desire and hidden threats. Now Fin’s embroiled in a potential homicide, his estranged father arrives in town, and Maggie… well, Maggie, slides into his heart and this time he can’t shake her.

Coming home was meant to heal her

Maggie Winters left home excited for her big adventure, then everything changed one chilling day when she faced an horrific attack. Determined to put the trauma behind her, she arrives in Ryker Falls, ready for the best acting job of her life. Of course, she’d counted on Fin Hudson, a long tall drink of handsomeness who had always made her feel a little off balance, still keeping his distance. Turns out she was wrong. Way wrong.

Maggie’s defences are weakened and now Fin wants to know what she’s hiding and he’ll do whatever it takes to find out. Fin Hudson could seduce secrets from a stone, but Maggie is no pushover.

With a murder to solve, scars to hide and a business to run, she doesn’t have time for love.

But kisses that touch her soul, a confession and the cheering squad of a close-knit community give her the strength to accept that she and Fin deserve a chance.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Yay! Finally Fin and Maggie's story! It's been a long time coming and it was great! Maggie and Fin have danced around one another since the very beginning. And though they were in denial, everyone else knew there were definitely sparks between the two of them. And in the previous book Maggie had left for a new adventure. Now she is back and things have changed. First off, Maggie has changed. She went through a horrible thing in England and instead of telling anyone, she kept it in believing that she could move past it. She survived, surely that was enough. It wasn't. As soon as she enters Ryker Falls Fin is the first person she sees and he notices right away. Her spark is gone and that is not okay with Fin. Fin is starting to wake up and realize that Maggie may just be the one for him and when she returns he knows something has happened. Now he just needs to figure out what it is and to get her to open up to him. And if that wasn't enough, Fin finds remains in the woods and evidence shows that there could have been a murder at Ryker Falls. But is the killer still around? Maggie and Fin are just perfect for one another. I loved reading their story. It was a long time coming and it was perfect. I adore this series and I cannot wait for more!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
