I am so excited to share that The Woman Left Behind is now available. Harry is finally going to get his HEA! This was a fantastic read with wonderful characters, a great mystery, and an excellent build. I couldn't read it fast enough!
The Woman Left Behind (Misted Pines #3) by Kristen Ashley
Sheriff Harry Moran has a broken heart and a stack of case files on his desk that the corrupt sheriff who came before him might have bungled.
Or he may have framed innocent people.
The first case Harry dives into, the woman left behind lives just a block away from his office.
When Lillian Rainier opens the door to the sheriff, Harry, who’s been a dead man walking since his wife died, comes back to life.
As for Lillian, she’s had a crush on Harry for forever, Harry showing at her door, and how he is when he does only makes her fall deeper.
As Harry and his team dive into these suspicious cases, Harry and Lillian have to figure out what to do with all they feel for each other, how hard it hits them, and how deep it goes.
But as a voice from the past becomes a witness in the present, and Harry and his crew dig deeper, they sense something sinister happened years ago.
As they weave together the threads of a cold case, they realize how messy it is.
Worse, the man behind the mess is desperately cleaning it up …
And no one in Misted Pines is safe.
5 out of 5 stars
I can't
begin to tell you how much I loved The Woman Left Behind. I adored Harry and Lillian! I loved
the mystery as it unfolded and all the building clues. I loved the different
families and bonds, and seeing favorites from other books in this series. This was a fantastic addition to the Misted Pines world, and I already can't wait for
the next one.
I loved
Lillian! I hurt for her as I learned about her past, but loved her inner
strength and what a big heart she had. I have loved Harry since book one, but
now I love him even more. He was good to his core, a protective man with a
heart of gold, he made me swoon. They had a sweet build to their relationship. Some parts were light and fun in the beginning and it brought some entertaining moments
in the middle of all that was going on with Lillian. They had fantastic
chemistry and I loved the pull between them. I adored Harry and Lillian sharing
and being vulnerable and all the emotion it created, and I loved how Harry put
it all out there with no games. There was an exceptional build to the heat, I
couldn’t wait for these two to get together. I loved the healing Lillian
experienced and how Harry was really living again. These two were perfect together!
There was an
intriguing suspense element in place related to a cold case and I was all in as
clues were building and connections were made. There was a low level of
intensity that had me on the edge of my seat as it all played out. I liked
learning about the different types of corruption that had previously taken
place as Harry worked to clean up the sheriff’s department, and how some of it
tied together. I loved how the romantic suspense and the feel of contemporary
romance blended together, making it exciting to read with an excellent build.
I loved the
characters of Misted Pines. From favorites from other stories to meeting new
ones, there was a wonderful sense of found family and friendships, support, and
love. I couldn’t get enough of those bonds and camaraderie, and the heartfelt
scenes they helped to create. I was thrilled to get more Jace and Jesse, and
Stormy, I would love for them all to get a book.
I love how
Kristen Ashley tells a story, how I feel pulled in and a part of the world. With this book, I felt hooked from the start. I felt the intensity of the mystery and the
emotion as Harry and Lillian came together. I couldn't wait for Harry to get
his happily ever after and I was not disappointed. This was truly a remarkable
read and it's safe to say it's my favorite in the series so far!
