Release Blitz for Hideaway Hart (Cherry Tree Harbor, #2) by Melanie Harlow w/ Review

All I wanted was a break—two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan.

But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family refuses to let me go anywhere alone, and I’m stuck sharing this tiny cabin with a tall, dark, and bearded bodyguard.

And guess what? There’s only one bed.

Well, he can couch it.

Xander Buckley might be hotter than a stolen blow torch, and I get that he’s a former Navy SEAL and all, but the man gives new meaning to the words overbearing, overprotective, bossy alpha male. I can’t even post a photo on social media without him warning me it’s not safe, or take a morning jog without him following behind.

But he’s made it clear that what he says goes, and if I don’t like it, I can kiss my vacation goodbye.

Instead, I end up kissing him.

I don’t even know how it happened—one minute we were at each other’s throats, the next we were at each other’s mercy. What’s even more shocking is how good we are together. He understands my need for freedom, and I understand his need for control.

But emotional trust doesn’t come easily to me. And we’re on two completely different paths.

Without question, I’d put my life in his hands.

Just don’t ask me to give him my heart.

***5 Stars***

Xander and Kelly Jo were a lot of fun to get to know and watch as they go from adversaries to friends to more. Xander is a mix of cocky and charming with a dash of protective af alpha male. Kelly Jo is sweet, sassy and at a crossroads with her career and life and hasn’t decided which path to take.

While their initial meeting was definitely not a meet cute, their forced proximity makes it hard for them to ignore each other and once a truce is agreed upon, things definitely get more interesting. The chemistry between them is off the charts HAWT, their bantering a lot of fun and I just really liked them as a couple and was happy with how everything turned out for them.

This was a fun read. Outside of the tension between Xander and Kelly at the start of the book, there is very little angst, but a whole lot of heart and heat. That little connection to the Cloverleigh Farms series had me grinning and catching up with Austin, Veronica, Owen and Adelaide was awesome, as was getting a little more time with Ari and Mabel. And we got to finally meet Devlin Buckley (Dash is the last Buckley to meet) and it looks like he is in for the ride of his life.
