Description

A runaway bride and a playboy. One bedroom in a remote cabin. A spark neither of them have felt before.

After almost hooking up with a gorgeous blonde stranger as a misguided way of dealing with his problems, Asher Carlson needs to escape. Discovering he has inherited a remote mountain cabin provides the perfect solution. The last thing he expects is for a runaway bride—that same beautiful blonde woman—to jump in the cab of his truck and demand to go wherever he is going.
 
Alone together with her almost hookup in a cabin with only one bed, Noa Briggs knows she can't ignore the mess she left behind when she left her best friend at the altar. But she doesn't love her intended groom the way you are supposed to love the man you marry. The spark she feels for the stranger who rescued her is stronger than anything she ever hoped to have in her marriage, and how sad is that?
 
Especially when Asher gives off vibes that while their chemistry is incredible, it's not going to be forever. A playboy who has actively avoided relationships, he's the perfect rebound. Their chemistry is undeniable, and they don't hold themselves back...until Noa catches the exact kind of feelings Asher has made it clear he will never have for her.
 
For the second time in mere weeks, she has no choice but to run away from a man who can't give her what she needs. And this time, it hurts so much more than she ever imagined.

    I have been waiting for what feels like forever for Asher’s story but I was still completely unprepared for everything that came with him! Each of Carlson siblings have had such different perspectives on their upbringing but Asher’s story answered so much for me from the earlier books in this series about his relationship with Chase. I don’t know what I was expecting with Noa but OMG the wild drama she brought to the table was so entertaining!! There were parts of her journey that were so incredibly sad but her resilience and compassion were just so inspiring. I really loved these two together. I’m not ready for the end of the Carlsons but I can’t wait for Kat’s book!

    Because You Loved Me is book 4 in the Trickle Creek series by Elena Aitken and another great read! Up next is Asher and Noa’s story. Each Carlson sibling must follow the reading of their father’s will and step away for 6 months and now it’s Asher’s turn when he get a cabin in the woods that they didn’t know about. After rushing out of the reading he almost runs over a bride…she jumps in his truck and demand he take off! Down the road he stops and realizes it’s the woman from the day before he kind of rescued…Noa. What happens next is steamy chemistry, avoiding relationships, running away, baggage, opening up and so much more… I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
  • Enjoyable, couldn’t-put-it-down kind of story!

    Wonderful addition to the Trickle Creek series! If you’ve read the previous three stories, you know that Asher is all work and no play and a true playboy who doesn’t do commitment. Noa is literally running away from her own wedding. Realizing she’s made a mistake, she literally jumps into the truck cab of the first person she sees that can help her make a quick getaway. Her accomplice is none other than Asher! So begins a fast-paced, at times hilarious and other times poignant story of two people who least expect to end up together. But desperate times…and all! Enjoyable, couldn’t-put-it-down kind of story!
