About this listen

 Welcome to New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Ashley's Colorado Mountain Series, where friends become family and everyone deserves a second chance.

Love is the greatest gamble of all . . .

Nina Sheridan desperately needs a timeout vacation. With a fianc?àö¬© who can't even remember how she takes her coffee, Nina wants some distance to rethink her engagement. Flying halfway around the world from England to a mountain town in Colorado should do the trick. But when she finds a gorgeous man at her rental cabin, Nina's cold, lonely adventure suddenly heats up.

The owner of the house, Holden "Max" Maxwell is surprised by the beautiful woman who turns up at his door. But when Nina becomes ill, Max spends days nursing her back to health. A private man with a broken heart, Max finds himself drawn to the strong-willed woman. Soon it becomes impossible for Nina and Max to deny their growing attraction to one another. Yet even as these two wounded souls think about taking a chance on a relationship, a secret from Max's past emerges-and threatens to end their love for good. Contemporary Romantic Suspense Women's Fiction

Critic reviews

"Ashley delivers a deeply emotional second installment of the Chaos contemporary romance series (after Own the Wind)... Punctuated by blistering-hot sex scenes and fascinating glimpses into the tough world of motorcycle clubs, this romance also delivers true heart and emotion, and a story that will stay with the reader long after the final page is turned."—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review, on Fire Inside
"I adore Kristen Ashley's books!"—Maya Banks, New York Times bestselling author
"Kristen Ashley's books are addicting!"—Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author
"[Kristen] Ashley captivates."—Publisher's Weekly
"With Brock's raw side contrasted with Tess's innocence, Wild Man delivers a passionate, opposites-attract romance."—Patricia Smith, Booklist
"There is something about them [Ashley's books] that I find crackalicious."—Kati Brown, DearAuthor.com
"I felt all of the rushes, the adrenaline surges, the anger spikes... my heart pumping in fury. My eyes tearing up when her my heart (I mean... her heart) would break." (On Motorcycle Man)

As much as I lived this narrator in other books, I wish that British MFCs were voiced by British narrators. This accent is so over the top, over enunciated and off putting that I struggled to listen to the book because of it. It may sound authentic to non-Brits but to natives it’s a parody. Sorry

Great story but…

I did enjoy the story but felt Nina’s British accent was quite annoying at times, pronouncing flash like flarsh & marshed potatoes etc.

Overall enjoyable

Once again I am taking the easy way out and listening to a book I have already read a couple of times on my kindle. This is classic Kristen Ashley, a great romance with a murder mystery thrown in to keep the plot moving. It is a very long audio, which never lagged, and never got boring. Having been disappointed in so many of KA’s later books, it’s lovely to listen to the sort of book that makes someone into a life long fan of the author. I love how KA can feature characters that are not perfect, who make mistakes, and mess up, but at the same time are still very likable. I also love how she can throw a curveball occasionally and have a completely unpredictable “bad guy”. If you are getting tired of reading about billionaire men and supermodel perfect women, try this book. Go on - take a gamble!

Well worth the gamble

The narration was so off-putting I considered giving up several times. The English accent was atrocious. The story is great if you can put up with the way it was read.

Good story, but...

If you can get past the awful narration then it's worth a listen, it's not the best book of KA but if you follow the series give it a go. The terrible English accent gets easier to listen to. I did listen to snippets of the rest of the series to check it wasn't all the same narration but it's the same woman, just not talking like that. Phew!!

Easy story to listen to
