By Carly Phillips

Synopsis

Fall in love with the Wards…

Mechanic and garage owner, Kane Harmon is used to the wealthy beautiful women visiting his beach town. He doesn’t get involved because he knows most females would merely be slumming for the summer.

Except Halley Ward isn’t just passing through. She lives a solitary life in a bungalow on the beach. A woman tormented by her past, distant from her wealthy family, different from Kane’s usual fare of town girls who know his M.O.- Don’t expect more than he’s willing to give.

Kane rescues Halley and her broken down car from the side of the road and instantly he’s hooked. She says she’s not interested in him. He knows she lies. And he makes it his mission to bring her back to life, to return her emotionally to her family. To show her the colors around her were as vibrant as the ones she puts on her canvas.

Until past meets present and threatens all the progress they’ve made. Then it’s Halley’s turn to step up and stand up for the relationship and life she’s finally coming to believe she deserves.

A Standalone Novel

Review

Fearless is my first book by this author and I really enjoyed her style and flow of the story. Definitely a standalone however I do hope we see more of this couple in the next two stories with her sisters. It is an easy and quick read and Kane and Halley were a great couple. Both the Harmon and Ward families play their parts and provide moments to help cement this couple.

Phoebe was a great character and I am definitely looking forward to her story. Missing younger sister is a real mystery and she will probably end up with the best story being the last sister with so many secrets and where is she being the big question? Is she in the town? Who is her father?

Towards the end of the story, I was surprised at Halley’s decision and deeply upset for her. It did feel slightly rushed and I put that down to the fact I simply was not ready to say goodbye to Halley. She was a beautiful girl who had an awful start to life and her anxious behaviour is understandable. Kane was no-nonsense and slowly built his way into her life and it was believable and he was a solid guy.

Fearless is a great story about taking a chance, believing in your someone and finding love when you thought it would be safer to be alone.
