About this listen

I should have known I’d be playing with fire when I found the sexy as hell woman moving in next door... It was pouring rain, so I figured the neighborly thing to do would be to lend a hand. I nearly dropped to my knees when I realized who she was. Hailey Wagner. It’s been six years since I’ve seen her, and she’s always been the one person on earth who is off limits.

My past sins I’ve kept like an ugly secret made sure of that. Too bad this single mom with the soulful eyes still makes my pulse speed the way it did back then, and I soon find our chemistry is just as strong. When I find her ex threatening her, I insist on staying with Hailey and her little girl until I’m sure they’re safe. I thought I could handle being under her roof. Only the tension between us strains, and with one forbidden kiss, all restraint is lost.

We collide in a lightning bolt of greed, the two of us locked behind her door night after night. Falling so hard I know there will be no coming back from it. But being with Hailey exposes the past I’ve been trying to hide, and I’ll do anything to protect her from it. Because if I don’t? We’re both going to pay the consequences…

This was the PERFECT ending to this AMAZING series!!

I knew that once Cody fell in love he would be a totally devoted, protective, loving boyfriend and I was so right!! The way he was with his Mom and Sisters I knew what kind of man he truly was.

Hailey is probably my favorite FMC of the Time River Series. She is so strong, a survivor, and so sweet and loving. She deserved to end up with Cody, deserved his devotion!!

The shocking surprise that cut deep had me bleeding out for Hailey. I’m just so glad she had Cody when it all came out.

I can’t get enough of Jackson’s romance stories, with suspense and great alpha heroes. I can’t recommend her enough if you like romance that is passionate and spicy, and suspense with the hunky alpha hero!!

The narration was SUPERB!!

LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!

Another masterpiece from AL Jackson. I’ve been debating for a few days on whether this is my favorite or Claim Me Forever. But I honestly can’t pick when they are so good. Why isn’t everyone raving about how amazing these small town suspense stories are!

Hailey and her 4 yo daughter left her husband and came to Time River to live with her grandmother. Her relationship with Lolly was one of the best parts of the story. It always made me smile. Cody sees Hailey when she is moving in and remembers her from years ago. You find out more about their history together a little at a time throughout the story. Cody & Hailey had chemistry years ago but a tragedy separated them but now years later they still have that same chemistry between them. I loved Cody and Hailey together, and also with Maddie. The way that Cody loved Maddie was so sweet. Cody had so much dirty talking cowboy in him and I love when he went into full blown protector mode.

There is so much love within this story between not just our MCs but it is also filled with heart pounding suspense. There were a lot of secrets revealed and many were jaw dropping shocking! This was one of those endings that had me in AL Jackson’s DMs screaming!

The audiobook is absolutely beautifully done by Stephen and Erin. The way they captured the small town feels, the love between everyone, and the soul crushing pain felt. Excellent performance!

I honestly don't know if I could pick a favorite in this series, I thought it couldn't get better than the last book, and yet, I was wrong. I listened to the ALC of this book and I have to say Erin Mallon and Stephen Dexter did such a phenomenal job narrating this book. Cody has a nice gruff voice and I freaking loved it!! The chemistry between Cody and Hailey was off the charts hot. And the way this man protected and loved Hailey and her daughter was so swoonworthy, I just melted at his moments with her little girl. People say all the time they would take a bullet for the ones they care about but do they really mean it? Cody does.

This entire series is just too good to pass by. There's romance, comedy, mystery, suspense, angst and so so much more. How could you not fall in love with this series and everyone in it?!
If you haven't read them, do it now.

Erin and Stephen did a phenomenal job!

I’m still swooning so hard over Cody and I don’t see that ending anytime soon. “Hold Me Until Morning” is a thrilling, steamy and romantic single Mom romance that is the perfect addition to the “Time River” series.

It’s been years since Hailey Wagner had been back home and after leaving her husband, this is where she feels safe to raise her daughter, Maddie, with the help of her beloved grandma. And during her first night there during a rainstorm, she finds out she’s neighbors with the boy who broke her heart. Cody is still a charmer all these years later and now that Hailey is back in town, it’s starting to look like fate stepped in. But Hailey’s soon to be ex is determined to make Hailey crawl back to him and Cody being the protector he is, offers to sleep on her couch to keep the girls safe. But the feelings they both had all those years ago start to simmer to the top.

Cody and Hailey stole my heart from the beginning and haven’t let go. Hailey is a great mom, smart, caring and I loved how she was working regaining her independence. She had suffered some loss but was finding herself back again with moving back home and working with horses again. Cody has all the confident swagger I love and it oozes off him in the best possible way. He loves his Mom and sisters without reservation and I loved how close they were. The banter between Hailey and Cody was flirty and chemistry filled. I couldn’t stop listening because I wanted these two to admit their feelings for each other badly. And once they did, it was a steamy delight. Cody’s nickname for Maddie was so adorable and I loved how these two bonded. Hailey’s grandma was a hoot and had me laughing so much. The plot twist thrown in had me gasping and on the edge of my seat as I listened. The ending was so sweet and was the perfect way to wrap up their HEA.

Stephen Dexter and Erin Mallon were perfect as Cody and Hailey. I loved Stephen’s gruff yet playful narration as Cody and could listen to him all day. Erin was wonderful, per the norm. Her kind and caring voice was the perfect choice for Hailey and she brought her alive perfectly.

Thrilling, steamy and romantic!

Hailey is one amazing woman and mother. Cody is a strong independent man. Lolly is a fun loving grandma who wants the best for her granddaughter. Love the past they had. Did not see any of the twists coming. Amazing read.

I just can’t get enough of these characters! The author does such an amazing job of drawing you in and keeping you there. There were a few twist and turns in this book I didn’t see coming. I also loved the characters progression and overall the love they had for each other throughout the years. I can’t wait for the next book!

Can’t get enough of!
