She was my daughter’s best friend. She stood next to me and held my hand while my little girl’s pink casket was lowered into the ground. The last time I saw her she was chasing me down the street as I left the town that was slowly suffocating me to death. But now she’s a woman and she needs my help. So I’ll save her and ask for nothing in return. Except maybe one thing that I’m not sure she’s … not sure she’s ready to lose.

Oh boy.
I’m sad to see this series end! I remember going crazy waiting for each of the books to come out. This one just like the rest are worth the read and I’ve just found myself going back to the beginning. Buckle up, it’s gonna get bumpy.
This is the first book I’ve read by Anna Brooks so I really wasn’t sure what to expect. Brooks totally blew me away with Roam and has a new forever fan. I loved everything about this book. The characters were perfect. The plot was fast paced. My heart ached as I read, wanting to fix everything for Noble and Brinley. I loved the side characters and now o need to go read the rest of the books in this series so I know their stories too. I will definitely be recommending this book to everyone.
Ms. Brooks blew it out of the park with Noble and Brinley’s story!! From the snippet we got before this book it was obvious this story was going to be great, but I’m speechless. This story has been so beautifully elaborated; there is heat, sweetness and love, but there are also challenges, grief, guilt, and, for some, a taboo relationship. All of the above make this one of the best in the series.
I absolutely loved this book! This is the first story I’ve read in the ‘Guarding Her’ series and even though this is the fifth book, I think it could be read as a standalone.
Noble and Brinley are both connected by the tragic death of Noble’s daughter Katie but separated by pain. Eight years after that tragic day, Brinley, now 19 years old, turns up at his boss Erik’s house, homeless and more broken than ever. When Noble sees her, he immediately wants to protect her from a horrible past that he feels he could have saved her from. But taking Brinley into his home is easier said than done.
I loved the relationship between Noble and Brinley. They are two lost souls who need each other to thrive. A former foster kid that was bounced from house to house, Brinley may seem tough but her emotions are all over the map. I think Noble balances her with his patience and commanding behavior. Noble, though, is just existing after eight years of living alone with his pain. Brinley seems to bring passion and sunshine back into his dark world. This is an forbidden, age gap romance. Noble is 35 years old and Brinley is around 19 or 20 years old. This story is also hot, steamy, and never boring!
OMG I am blown away. I read this book in one sitting. Anna Brooks is automatic one click author for me. If you haven’t read her books, stop whatever the fuck you are doing and go read her books. Especially this series.
Roam is much much awaited by many invested and inlove with this series. Roam is everything it promised it would be and more.
Brinley and Noble no each other from what seems like a life times before. A brutal life time before.
Noble finds her by mistake and instantly he is a goner for her. He brwaks all boundaries and walls to be with her. They heal each other, fight for each other, give each other a new beginning but most Importantly they give each other every of the best. Life has treated these two so badly and you will be fucking thrilled when they meet again.
Grab this book its hot, heated and swoony.
Enjoy!!!!
So great! Noble and Brinley’s story was SO sweet (but also super hot, don’t worry). Noble has a LOT of baggage he’s not done coming to terms with in a healthy way after the death of his wife and child. Suddenly Brinley comes along, 8 years later his deceased daughter’s best friend has changed a lot and in need of help Noble’s friends take her in before anyone even knows of the connection between Brinley and Noble. Then of course Noble’s sense of honor and moral code prevents him from acting on his feelings, but when they finally do, fire works! So happy with this ending, I’ve loved Noble from the start and he deserved a way to let the past go and start fresh. Great story!
KU. DNF. I finished book 1 and rounded up to 3 stars. I DNFd book 2, but was intrigued by these characters from their appearance in “Surface” (and I like May/December books) so I skipped right to this.
DNF again. For such a short book it’s really repetitive. She’s too young. She’s was my daughter’s best friend. She’s troubled. Rinse. Rewrite. Repeat. Invert for her thoughts on him. 30% in and we’re still in the first 48 hours of their “relationship” but nothing of substance has happened.
Also, he knows this girl has been repeatedly abused, spent her life in foster homes, and he believes that she views him as a father figure. So he threatens to spank her? Ew. On so many levels.
