"Readers would have to have a heart of stone to not feel the passion pouring from these pages."

Romance Suspense
The Battered Hearts series has been one of my
favourite
series of Kele Moon. Fusing together real emotion with hot
sex is always a lethal combination. However, the third
instalment of the series, CROSSING THE LINE surpassed the
high expectations I had for this newest release.
Moon accomplishes the unthinkable. After much speculation
about Wyatt Conner and Tabitha in the previous books, the
author lays out all the details of their past in this
consuming, passionate story. The book opens with Tabitha is
a stressful situation. Dealing with her mother has always
been one of Tabitha's life challenges. It doesn't help that
her brother has always been an abusive pain in the ass for
her as well. When she returns home after being gone for
many, many years, Tabitha once again feels defeat as life's
stresses weigh her down.
Wyatt, the former MMA fighter and sheriff of their hometown
of Garnet finds her and this launches a series of flashbacks
that retell their story from the very beginning. Moon starts
at a very young age and shows their growth and progression
of love through the years. It is really a stunning,
beautifully written story packed with so much emotion,
readers would have to have a heart of stone to not feel the
passion pouring from these pages.
The parts from when they were younger have a New Adult feel
to them. There's so much angst, so much violence and so much
love that I think readers who adore this genre will also
find a happy place with this book. Moon really outdid
herself with this novel, making CROSSING THE LINE one of my
favourite books this year!
SUMMARY
Wyatt Conner is a hard man. A sixth generation sheriff in
his hometown of Garnet. A former MMA fighter. His life is
about following the rules and making sure everyone else
in
Garnet follows them too. Before life hurt him, Wyatt was different. Love had once
blinded him to his upbringing and made him defiant
against
anyone who tried to separate him from the girl he loved.
He
easily broke laws to ensure her safety. When she left it destroyed him. Now she's back. Tabitha knew coming home was a mistake, but family
obligation demanded it. She wasn�t expecting to run
smack
into the love of her life the same day she returned. Despite the danger, Tabitha is powerless against the wild
rush of desire that explodes between them the moment she
finds herself in Wyatt�s arms again. She needs a second
chance too, but she can't risk Wyatt finally discovering
the
real reason she left. Even for another taste of true love. Tabitha knows her haunted past will destroy both of them
if
Wyatt finds out. What she suffered through was too
terrible
and it's the one thing that will have him crossing the
line
for revenge.
