Baby Secret (Slade Brothers Book 3)

ARC was given by Author through Booksprout . My review is given completely voluntarily.

Baby Secret is the 3rd book in the Slade Brothers series by Alexis Winter.

I gave this book 5 stars.

This book was another example of how fantastic this Author is! She has this capacity of bringing us into her world and gutting us from the inside out, we feel each heartbreak of the characters and the fears they go through. I loved this book just like I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series. With each book in the series there’s a different topic she brings to light, on this case it’s domestic abuse / violence…..so this one could have sensitive triggers for someone readers.
Clay Slade owns his construction company, and we was contracted to fix up this old house that the buyer wanted to turn into a B&B. Autumn is that buyer, finally able to fli in secret from her abusive husband, she’s filed for divorce and left his a$$ . She has an adorable little boy called Bryce and together they making a new life in Colorado in her new home. She’s contracted Clay to help her bring this old ranch to life. Once they meet the connection is something neither was expecting nor wanting. She’s running from her ex husband, and doesn’t want any man in her life right now, and Clay just wants no relationships just plain rolling in the haystack when he needs it. Things change very quickly and they just can’t fight it anymore.
Her retelling of her experiences in life, what she endured during her marriage was just heartbreaking knife through the heart….WTF goodness I cryed my eyes out.
The feeling of living in fear of that monster possibly one day finding them, WOWZA that was intense!
This book is emotional, so much angst, danger, suspenseful, but on the flip side it’s also full of steamy sex, love, learning to trust again, family embrace, new life, freedom at last. We get to revisit with the Slade gang which keeps getting bigger…..I freaking love them!!!!
This does have a HEA , no cliffhanger.
Now we wait for Brother #4 Wyatt…..can’t wait

What an amazing read this was. I really enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting.
I am a sucker for romance and happily ever afters especially when someone has been put through hell and they finally get their happy ending like they deserve and that’s what happens with Autumn and her son Bryce.

On the run from her violent ex husband the last thing Autumn expects is to fall in love and she does , hard. Clay is a good hard working man . Living off the grid he’s happy with how his life is going he doesn’t want love, marriage or kids. Nope not in his future. But all that changes when he meets Autumn and Bryce everything he thought he wanted went flying out the window . But what happens when Autumn’s past catches up with her ? You’ll have to read the book to find out. Looking forward to reading more in this series. I really enjoyed it.

The third book in the Slade brothers series. Clay and Autumn are great together and were able to live HEA afyer overcoming the treats to Autumn and her son. An amazing story line, I loved every minute of it.

A Flight from Fear to Fresh Starts and Love

Autumn Delaney is a woman who is smart enough to realize that she made a mistake when she entrusted her heart and her happiness to Glenn, the man whom she calls husband. During their 5-year-marriage, Autumn had learned to be watchful of Glenn’s drinking, his possessiveness, and his increasing control of her life—her friends, her job choice, even the decorations for the baby’s room. It took him 5 years before he raised his hand to her in anger, breaking her nose and blackening her eyes. But, she will not risk her 4 year-old, Bryce to Glenn’s growing distemper and aggression. So, she plots and plans, saving a little each month into a secret bank account, and when she learns that her father has died and left her money, she tells no one of her inheritance, but again has the money deposited in her personal secret account. She bides her time, securing the help of a neighbor and a divorce lawyer to formulate a get-away plan with a predetermined landing spot across the country in Colorado where she has purchased, sight-unseen, a farmhouse to convert into a B & B. And, on the appointed day, without warning, she packs and leaves, having her husband served with divorce papers.

Now, she lives in Colorado in two connecting rooms of the Glendale Motel, which she fills with Bryce’s toys and favorite pillows to create a safe place of transition for her son and herself. She registers Bryce in the local daycare which has enrolled many of his future kindergarten classmates while she works on renovating the farmhouse on Madison Lane into a home and business—a B&B—hiring Clay Slade and his work crew to manage and execute the updating and renovation.

Clay Slade, a lanky, muscular man with dirty blonde hair, and his 4 brothers are generational members of the community, owning and operating a brewery, and more recently, a distillery on the same land where their grandfather had settled his family. While all brothers benefit from the family business, Clay and the other brothers leave the day-to-day decisions of the company to the oldest brother Drake. The five brothers have learned to trust each other, but to give each other space and grace since the death of their mother while they were still children, and the benevolent neglect of their father who never recovered from her death and used a string of nannies to care for his boys. Now as adults, the brothers still work to connect and deal with the past decisions of their grieving father.

When Clay meets the beautiful mom, Autumn, with her green eyes and dark wavy hair, and hears of her plans for the old farmhouse, he appreciates her desire to restore the beauty of the old place and is impressed with her desire to take a hands-on approach to the renovation. And while his interest in this mom and son team grows, he becomes aware of the danger that has apparently followed them in their flight to a new beginning—a danger that he will confront, not just to protect Autumn and Bryce, but to also claim and protect his own unborn child.

Baby Secret continues the story of the Slade Brothers series. This novel continues to weave a strong storyline with interesting characters and electrifying emotional connections. This third novel continues to follow the romantic developments of a family with secrets and unresolved heartache that needs to be addressed to bring happiness and healing to the other members of the family. Each novel can be read independently, but the Slades are so engaging that you will want to know each member and his story.

Beautiful love story.
Another great story in the Slade brother series that I couldn’t put down. When Autumn left her abusive husband Glenn taking her son Bryce to start a new life for the both of them running a B&B she’s bought. What she didn’t expect was falling love at first sight with Clay the hot builder renovating the B&B for her. No matter how much they tried to stay away from each other the pull was always there but her husband who refused to give her a divorce was out to make sure he got his son back & make her life hell again what he didn’t plan on was Clay the man who promised to protect his family which was Autumn, Bryce & their unborn baby. They had a lot of drama & pain to overcome before they had a chance of having their happy ever after. I loved these books & the way the characters from the other were also part of this aswell.
