The more he gets to know her, the more he realizes that something isn’t right. He may not be able put his finger on what it is, but he’s determined to find out what’s going on with the girl with the haunted eyes.
Tate didn’t anticipate that someone else would be just as determined to keep Hennessy’s nightmare a secret, and he never realizes just how far that person is willing go to keep those skeletons in the closet until it’s too late.
With the very real threat of jail time hanging over his head, Tate leaves without a backwards glance at the town or the girl. The problem is that out-of-sight doesn’t necessarily mean out of mind, and it’s Tate who’s now haunted by his decision and memories of Hennessy.
***
Hennessy Hanes knows better than anyone that not everything is always as it appears to be. After years of being on the receiving end of her squeaky-clean preacher father’s abuse, she seizes an opportunity to leave it all behind and runs.
Her only regret is that in walking away she loses any chance with the one person who tried to save her.
***
Fast forward ten years, and they’re both back where they started.
Tate was never a good boy, and it turns out that the man he’s now grown into isn’t all that much better. Anger is a living, breathing part of him, and there’s a court order forcing him to seek help from the one person he’s never forgotten.
Hennessy never thought she’d see Tate Casey again, and certainly not on her couch. But now it’s her turn to save him, and there are rules she must follow as his psychologist, not to mention a court order instructing her to help him manage his anger. If she doesn’t follow those rules, he’ll end up back in jail.
Tate Casey has never been a man who followed the rules, and Hennessy is no longer the straight-laced, timid preacher’s daughter she once was.
His hands may be tied, so it looks like for the first time in Hennessy’s life, she’ll be the one breaking the rules for the chance to finally get what she’s always wanted. Him.
4.5 Stars
Burn in Hail is the third title in the Hail Raisers series and features Tate and Hennessy. This is a story of opposites attracting. Although they may be opposites Tate and Hennessy complement each other perfectly. Childhood acquaintances who become reacquainted as doctor and patient. Any relationship between the pair is forbidden, a conflict of interest, yet their long repressed feelings and chemistry builds the more time they spend in each others company.
Tate Casey has experienced a hellish past, he's made some difficult choices with ramifications that are still affecting him. He's a good guy, who did the wrong thing for the right reason, and doesn't regret his action and choices of the past. He's an endearing, brooding, muscled, tattooed character with a kind, caring, protective streak a mile wild.
Hennessy is a good girl, the preacher's daughter. Expectations have been heaped on her shoulders from a young age.
This title is full of twists and turns, and secrets that keep you on the edge of your seat and completely enthralled and captivated. Burn in Hail is a sweet, steamy story full of emotion, heat, heart and humor.
I thoroughly enjoyed the banter that is fun, flirty and full of humor, and the side characters who provide a link to the previous titles in the Hail Raisers series, and The Dixie Wardens Rejects.
I will be eagerly anticipating the next title in this series.
I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 8, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
