Activist meets corporate in this sizzling romance by New York Times bestselling author Jill Sanders.Trent McGowan has never been the guy who doesn’t get what he wants. He and his brothers are making a go of the oil business, and he’s always had a bit of a reputation with the ladies. Only lately, something’s been missing—something Trent never realized he needed…until he sees his childhood crush … he sees his childhood crush standing on the picket line, trying to destroy his company. And what happened to turn sweet Addy Collins into a sexy activist?
Environmentalist Adrianna Collins has returned to her hometown of Haven, Montana, on a mission to stop destructive oil mining. She never imagined that the corporate face on the other side of the protest line would be her lifelong crush. The Trent she remembers is better known for flirting than, uh, fracking, and she can’t believe he’d risk his city to make a quick buck.
Now Trent’s determined to prove that he’s not the person she thinks he is. If he can earn Addy’s trust, he might be able to save his company—and bring Addy home for good.

The McGowan brothers will risk everything—even their hearts—to save the family legacy.
Whether you are new to this author and/or this series, you will come to love them both.
This time the story centers around the McGowan brother, Trent, and Addy Collins.
Trent and his brothers have returned home after the passing of their beloved father, and have made a successful oil business, even better.
Addy, an environmentalist, and native of Haven, MT, has come back to protest any possible damage the McGowan company might be doing to the environment.
Personally, she has known Trent , at least from afar, most of her life. The crush she had on him was never divulged, especially since she was not in his “inner circle”. But now , he sees her, for what she is , what she does and not only her outside beauty but also her inside one.
The plot is engaging, with many sub-plots, and the characters are complex. You will find suspense, vandalism, and of course romance. You will also get a chance to visit with some of the characters from book 1 in the series.
All that said, what I liked most in the story, was the author’s presentation of the complexities of families. Not only the interaction between them but also how one’s upbringing, will affect not only the child but also the adult they become.
At the end , some questions were left unsolved, but by no means it’s a cliffhanger. Ms Sanders gives us a conclusion you will be happy with, though the road to happiness was a bumpy one.
I was gifted this copy by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
I absolutely loved, Never Let Go,
by Jill Sanders. It is a great addition
to the Haven, Montana series.
There is everything you want in a book.
It’s heart warming, suspenseful, & sexy.
The story pulled me in, & kept me
reading, wanting to find out what
happens next. I really enjoyed reading Trent & Abby’s story.
Can’t wait to read Trey’s book!!
A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE!!!
I have really enjoyed this series so far and can’t wait to read more. Not only is there romance but also action and mystery! I can’t wait to see what else happens in Haven, Montana!
*I won a copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway.*
Love this story so much. I listened to the audio version of this and the narration really helped drive the great storyline.
This can be read alone, but to understand some of the background and characters, reading the first book is recommended. For Abby and Trent this is as close to a second chance romance you can get without it actually being one. They went to school together but were never close. Their families are so different. Addy finds support and love from Trent and his family just when she needs it the most. Trent and Addy get their HEA, but there is questions left open so that you grab the next book in the series.
Addy is in charge of a group of protesters who are keeping eyes on the McGowen family. Trent is the middle brother, in charge of land development.
The mystery deepens as the family gets closer to sharing their big secret (the technology their father created). We are still left with several suspects. There is also the tragedy of suicide in this story.
A good read and I’m antsy to find out who was behind all the bad stuff.

Mary Jo –
Triggers: violence and suicide
This story has it all, intrigue, love, family dysfunction, and a happy ending.
Trent has adored Addy from afar since childhood. Not knowing how to approach the nerdy girl, he watched her grow up and leave their little town. Now that she’s back, Trent isn’t going to miss his opportunity to show Addy his true feelings.
Addy left Haven to find peace within herself. Leaving her family wasn’t hard as it is for most kids going away to college, she found it freeing. Her parents weren’t exactly loving or encouraging, and she longed for a place to just be herself and she found it being anywhere but in her hometown.
As a peaceful protester fighting for environmental causes, she’s back in Haven, determined to keep the McGowan brothers on the straight and narrow. What she doesn’t expect is to have Trent McGowan flirting with her and being her shoulder to lean on.
I enjoyed this book and the way the characters were written. Emotional scenes are extremely well written and bring the reader into the scene with the characters, something that is hard to do and Ms. Sanders did it very well.
