Summary
Since she was young, Cher Rivers knew she was not the kind of girl who got what she wanted. A girl who could hope. A girl who could dream. She knew a happily ever after just wasn't in the cards for her. In love for years with the last bastion of the 'burg's eligible bachelors, Garrett Merrick, Cher worked hard at making him laugh. Being one of the guys. Having him in her life the only way she could. All this, knowing he was in love with another woman.
The Merrick family is known for loving deep. So when Cecelia Merrick was murdered, it marked the Merricks in a way none of them recovered from. Both Cecelia's children found love. Both turned their backs on it. But Garrett "Merry" Merrick knew in his soul: The woman he divorced years ago was the one for him. Until the night when Cher took Garrett's back, and things changed.
The Merrick family loves deep. They also protect fiercely. And with his eyes finally open, Garrett sees the woman who truly is for him, and he goes after her.

Worth a credit, but could be better
The h in this book is bold, brassy, over-the-top sexy and the sort of person who never gives up no matter how tough life gets. She had come from a life of hard knocks and learnt – the hard way – to depend on no one. That said, she was fiercely loving to her son and inspired loyalty from those around her.
The H had spent the past ten years married to, divorced from, but still loving and missing another woman. I didn’t like him at first. He had moped around yearning after his ex-wife for years, hooking up with her occasionally, but still sleeping around with casual females inbetween these hook-ups. It was sort of weird. Even more weird was that when the “love of his life” got engaged to another man, he had a drunken one night stand with the h, and suddenly decides that he is completely over his ex and wants to get involved with the h. Since the H and h have been friends for years and he has never shown any indication of wanting more than friendship, this was difficult to understand.
Also a bit illogical was the h going on and on about how her life sucked and she didn’t deserve a “good man”. Why? Her past had “sucked” but she had worked hard and had a decent job, a decent home, a great group of loyal friends, a loving mum and a fabulous son. Yet we got endless self doubt from the h, and the belief that she was bound to mess up any chance she had at happiness? I just didn’t get why she would think this way.
I also have to agree with other reviewers about the h’s son. He is charming and adorable, but if it wasn’t for the constant reference to his age, I would have thought that it was an editing error that made him 10/11 years old, rather than the 16 or 17 he should have been to fit with his character.
However for all my criticisms above, I did enjoy the developing romance. To his credit, the H (eventually) realised that the failure of his relationship with his ex was partly his fault and he set about ensuring that he did not ruin his chance to have something good with the h by making the same mistakes.
That said, the book did drag a little after the couple got together. This happened pretty soon in the book so there was no “would they/wouldn’t they” suspense that makes a good romance. The second half of the book then sort of fizzled out. Problems with the h’s ex wanting custody, the H’s ex wanting him back and the criminal element living next to the h promised excitement but failed to deliver. In the end the focus seemed to be on endless domestic issues – birthday party organising, Christmas decorations etc, and it was ok but not exactly enthralling.
I did enjoy this book, I liked the epilogue but this was only because I had read all the previous books and knew the characters. This book is not the best in KA’s library, and I have no urge to read it again, but it was ok and worth a credit.

Tough Chick meets Tough Guy Cop.
I did enjoy this book.
It was a good romance novel with a couple of twists and turns. This is my first introduction to 'The Burg' so some things I didn't understand but that didn't detract from the story. It felt like her hang ups were tacked on where his were clearly shown throughout the book.
The lasy chapter was the most confusing to me.
At times the different character's voices merged into one. That could be because it's a long book.

Romantic drama
Flipping heck! Kristen Ashley sure knows how to write words, a lot of them. This audio is over 21 hours long. Highly enjoyable. I loved Cher so much. She was one tough cookie. She was stubborn, she was a straight shooter, she said it as it was. All that said. She was so vulnerable. I felt for her so much. Next we have Ethan, her adorable 12 year son, 1/2 man, 1/2 child, wise beyond his years, and a whole host of awesomeness. Finally, the icing on the cake. Garrett Merrick - oh wow! All man, in the best and worst possible ways. A true man’s man. I loved their relationship, so open and honest. The story had a little bit of everything. Romance, drama, suspense, and a super twist I did not see coming. Kristen Ashley sure knows how to write tough alpha men. This is my first and last ‘Burg’ read. I loved it, but it was just so long, I can also imagine them all being much of a muchness, stubborn alpha men and their women. All that said, I really enjoyed this audio, Erin Bennett narrated all POVs brilliantly. I’m not normally a fan of one narrator doing multiple parts but Erin pulled it off without a hitch.

I hope there is another Burg book
I hope there will be another Burg book, but I fear this is the last. I know I will register and re read them many times in the years to come and this last book is no exception.
Shear joy!

Cracking story with a great narrator
It was a great book to listen to over a few days/week. The narrator was amazing at using her voice, what a talent! the only thing that pulled me from the story was the speech pattern of the characters. I'm Scottish so people probably hate how I speak, so it's totally a personal opinion.
regardless of my minor Karen, I would absolutely recommend this. I love how the female MC is not portrayed in the typical way they are in books. and I love she got her person. I loved the epilogue too! Ethan at the end there... gah! my heart!
in all, get the book, you won't be disappointed.

More erotic then 50 shades of Grey
I didn't realise the contents of this book before I started to read it, but I'm glad I didn't. This is not my usual reading material, but as it is so well written, with a plot, and not just gratuitous sex. You should be married or in a serious relationship to reD this, not because of the sex, but because of the deep love that you can only feel in such a relationship.
Very well narrated and performed.
