Kestrel (A Hart Brothers Novel)
**This is the 3rd book in the series, but it is a Stand Alone Novel
**Not intended for readers under the age of 18 due to its mature content and strong language.

Two lives with horrific pasts. One chance meeting that changed them both forever.

“One look at her and I want to run. Frizzy hair, thick glasses, mom jeans, and ruffles up to her neck. Who the hell wears shit like that? What decade is she living in? My mother doesn’t even dress like that!”

Raised by a monster, Kestrel Hart somehow survived. Now that the monster is dead, he’s trying to move on, to pull himself together. Struggling with issues no one can imagine, he moves away from his family, from the brother who loves him, and the sister-in-law who supports and understands him the best.

Charleston, South Carolina is his new home. And he has a purpose. He’s opening up a new division of his brother’s corporation. But a surprise awaits him. Her name is Carter Drayton.

Carter’s past is also a painful one. She is dealing with the tragic death of her family. She’s healing in the only way she knows how.

Carter needs love. Kestrel craves human contact. Neither of them recognizes what’s right before their eyes. Will they see it before it’s too late?


review

Two broken people trying to mend their hearts for different reasons. The geeky scientist and the insanely complicated business man. Kestrel Hart finds himself in a new local and meets Carter Drayton. The adage ‘opposites attract’ is the understatement of the year as far as these two are concerned. Their chance meeting changes their lives forever, or is it fate?

This is a wonderfully written story with impeccably laid out characters. I laughed and found myself griping my chest at points. The sexual tension between these two? It’s undeniable. You can feel it and you will need an occasional time out. 😉  Kestrel? Yeah, I want one. You can’t help but fall in love with these two. You can’t help but have your heart break for their stories. I was sucked in from the very first page and finished in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down.

How is it possible that this is the first book by AM Hargrove that I’ve read?? Seriously, where has she been hiding? I LOVED this story! This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone, and I know this, because I’ve not read the others in the series, yet. This book was perfect as a standalone and I #oneclicked the other books the minute I closed my kindle!!

About A.M. Hargrove

One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, A. M. Hargrove, realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it would quickly be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life. So, she rolled down the passenger window of her fabulous (not) company car and tossed out her leather briefcase. Luckily, the pedestrian in the direct line of fire was a dodge ball pro and had über quick reflexes enabling him to avoid getting bashed in the head. Feeling a tad guilty about the near miss, A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side street before tossing her crummy, outdated piece-of-you-know-what lap top out the window. She breathed a liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell phone, called her boss and quit her job. Grinning, she made another call to her hubs and told him of her new adventure (after making sure his heart was beating properly again).

So began A. M. Hargrove's career as a YA/NA and Adult Romance writer. Her books include Kissing Fire, Edge of Disaster, Shattered Edge, the series the Guardians of Vesturon (Survival, Resurrection, Determinant, Beginnings and reEmergent), Dark Waltz, Tragically Flawed, Tragic Desires, and Exquisite Betrayal.

Other than being in love with being in love, she loves chocolate, ice cream and coffee and is positive they should be added as part of the USDA food groups.

(If you're wondering, it didn't happen EXACTLY that way, but….)

You can also find her on Goodreads as Emerson St. Clair. Her novella series, Dirty Nights, is available and those are a little dark, a little erotic and a lot sexy!

  1. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the awesome book love! Kestrel is near and dear to my heart because it was written in honor of Carter, a friend of mine who is battling cancer. I’m leaping with joy that you loved their story! xoxo
