Blythe Coopman never imagined she’d be homeless, but a series of events has landed her on San Antonio’s streets…hungry, tired, and scared. She clings to her most precious possession, a phone accidentally swiped from a local firefighter, who, instead of canceling the number, starts texting her. Soon, the man’s calls and texts are the highlight of her days, but she declines his frequent offers of … of help. Blythe refuses to be his burden—until a vicious attack takes the decision out of her hands.
When the woman he’s already begun to care for ends up in the ER, Sawyer “Squirrel” McClay is livid—and ashamed. He should have insisted she accept his help long ago. Now, he’s not taking no for an answer. While his friends rally round Blythe, Squirrel’s bond with her grows stronger by the day, until he realizes he’ll do anything to keep her safe, healthy, and happy…even as his own lifelong insecurities work against him.
But despite leaving the streets behind, Blythe and Sawyer discover old dangers still linger, threatening to end the couple’s new bliss before it’s barely begun.

Loved it! Had some great scenes, this was a little different than regular books I guess in that she was not really in danger (dog going after her after she hurt him besides that quick scene ) If you were looking for a book light on someone’s trying to kill the mc this is the book.
This is a voluntary review and I do not get paid for this review.
Susan Stoker always does a great job with character. Loved how she highlighted the plight of the homeless in this book. The male protagonist has a Clark Kent vibe and it was done well. He was still brave and alpha in his own charming way. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
It’s no secret I love this series & Blythe & Sawyer’s story is excellent! The hardships she faces & the insecurities he faces are perfectly paced. I live the way she is folded into the overall group & the way their relationship starts & progresses.
And our glimpse into Calder & Hope’s story hasme chomping to get it!!
One of the best books in the series
