Patience has always been Caleb Whitetail's strength. Quiet and unassuming is what you see with the GFI investigator, but the blood boils hot right under the surface. He kept his distance for years only to see the woman who has held his attention almost lose her life not just once, but twice. He is done standing in the shadows.

Katie Acker, once a tough and athletic security specialist now struggles daily to walk. The closest to family she has are her colleagues at GFI. Especially the man who saved her life and always has her back. So when she unwittingly becomes the focus of a Mexican cartel, it’s no big surprise she finds him right by her side.

With the combustive change in their deepening bond, Katie and Caleb do not see the oncoming danger - until it surrounds them.

Cedar Tree greatness!

21 December 2017

Format: Audible AudiobookVerified Purchase

This is the 3rd book in the Cedar Tree series, I've just listened to the audio, which I thought was great, the narrators did an excellent job. I adored Caleb's character, he is a beautiful, spiritual soul who started out contracting for Gus' investigative team, in the prologue we see that he worked with Katie on some jobs, which was a real challenge because he normally worked alone. Katie also contracted to Gus' team, she can certainly look after herself and Caleb just wants to keep her safe, so they are at loggerheads to begin with. Caleb also has to endure seeing Katie and Gus interact together and soon works out there may be some history between them. Then we jump to Chapter 1.
Whilst on a job, looking after Emma, Katie goes through a life changing event and its from this we see a remarkable change in Katie and Caleb is there with her all the way.
At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to warm to Katie, I had my hackles up from book 1. (Yes, you need to read it!) But in the end, Caleb and Katie are my two down right favs out of this Cedar Tree group of friends. Throw in suspense at every turn, a gorgeous brother and a pet and you get down right gooey! Loved it.

Definitely an author I will be checking again in the future

14 April 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

Freya Barker is a completely new author to me and I have to say that the main reason I picked up Against Me was because I am meeting her at a signing in a little bit over two short weeks. Well, I have to say that I thank my lucky stars :) The book started a little bit slow for me but once I pushed over the first 30-40 pages, I found myself engrossed into the story and the characters. I loved the smart entanglement between suspense and romance, between danger and love :)

Caleb and Katie are quite interesting characters. Being in their late thirties and early forties, they are a little bit older that the characters I usually read about. But that definitely didn't stop me from connecting with them and their problems. Freya Barker managed to express Katie and Caleb's feelings in a way that made me feel like I can see their story through my own eyes.

Through the book I admired Katie's strength and determination. It was amazing to read how she slowly becomes herself again and finds the one thing that could heal her wound - love.Considering her past and trials, I can only imagine how difficult it was for her to open her heart, even if it was for her best friend. But his persistence and support, his love and protectiveness, Caleb definitely managed to prove that he deserves her trust and is worth the risk. And let's be honest. That delicious alpha ex-ranger is definitely worth the risk :D

The suspenseful part of the story definitely kept me on my toes pretty much all of the time. There were some twists and turns that I didn't expect, and that's not something I experience often ;) I loved the danger and the fast paced action. And that combined with the love story between Caleb and Katie developing in the middle of everything, just made the book that much more exciting :)

In a few words, I definitely found the story intriguing and captivating. I quite enjoyed myself reading it and I will be definitely checking this author's other works :) I can't wait to find our more about her characters :) And I definitely can't wait to meet her ;) Lucky me :D

This review was originally posted at Living In Our Own Story Book Blog. I received an ARC of the book in exchange of an honest review.

Tracy ~ Book Loving Pixies

Cedar Tree, one of my fave series!!!

3 April 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The Cedar Tree series is fast becoming one of my all time faves....Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first two books I've been looking forward to reading Caleb & Katie's story, and once again, Freya didn't disappoint with Against Me!!!

We had met both Katie and Caleb earlier in the series but didn't know a huge amount about either of them. As this story starts Katie is recovering from an accident and Caleb is there as the concerned 'friend & co-worker' though that's far from what he wants from the woman.

Neither have had a great life and both have some issues and problems that still need to be sorted out. Katie in particular has an uphill battle on her hands, both physically and mentally, but if she can see herself from Caleb's POV she'll do just fine.
There's loads of action, mystery and suspense. We catch up with the couples & characters from previous books and meet again the leads from the next book.

For me, part of the beauty of these books lies in the people. Rather than wealthy, drop-dead gorgeous, perfectly formed 20-somethings that we often come across in romance stories, the characters Freya writes about feel real and are an age that those of us heading towards our 40s & 50s can relate to.
Flawed, a little damaged and broken, they are far from perfect but they are perfect together. I love the honesty, openness and acceptance that they show and don't get me started on the sex scenes - talk about HOT - Caleb is one dirty, knicker-melting, sexy bugger (lucky Katie!!) who doesn't hold back from showing K exactly what she does to him regardless of her disability.

Caleb & Katie, Seb & Arlene and Gus & Emma remind us that 'family' doesn't always mean those we have blood ties to and sometimes those closest and most important to us, the ones who care and will move mountains to help us, are quite often the 'family' we build around ourselves as we grow and time passes.

I can't wait to see what Frey has in store for us with Naomi & Joe in the next instalment of this fantastic series!!!

Against Me is a definite read for those who have picked up Slim To None and Hundred to One. If you haven't tried the series yet, go grab a copy and lose yourself in the lives of the residents of Cedar Tree..

Freya does it yet again. Against Me is wonderfully written with enough heat to keep Ya warm at night. Caleb is the type of man that once he falls in love with both his heart and soul and committed to that person he will do anything to protect them. This book shows us that two mature, somewhat damaged people can muddle thru life day in day out content not knowing what they are missing until it smashes down right in front of them. Once Caleb reveals his feelings for Katie all bets are off after a serious accident he almost loses her. Katie knows she can always rely on her co-worker turn friend but until he shows her his hand she never acknowledges those feelings deep down Inside. Each of of Freya's books gets better and better. Her men make you tingle and wish they would come off the pages as the women show their inner strength and independence which is refreshing. These are real folks just like you and me. real with everyday life issues, illnesses, emotional upsets that just make it feel like you are part of their stories. A must read series and excellent book. Congratulations to Freya on yet another phenomenal book.

Great addition to this series, can't wait to see what's next.

6 April 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

To be honest I wasn’t sure if I would like this book as well as the first two because I never really liked Katie, ya know the whole Gus thing in the first book. I went in to this one knowing I would love Caleb and just hoping Katie was good enough for him in the end. Of course I also wanted all the updates on everyone in Cedar Tree too. So I went in to this one with an open mind about Katie but I have to admit I started feeling stabby about her just reading the prologue. There were several times in this one that I got stabby about that whole situation, right along with Caleb. I guess my thing is in my experience the scenario of everyone being friends never works because someone, usually the Katie in the equation, steps over a line…also not many women would be so accepting like Emma…I know I wouldn’t be. lol! Anyway while I got irritated with that situation a few times because I am not a trusting person if put in a situation of her being around so much even with Caleb, much less being buddies with her like Emma, I still loved this story. I have to admit I never saw that twist with Juan coming at the end, I was glad to hear that he had been okay after worrying about him when he left the facility.

Katie was a little annoying at times but for the most part I went from really disliking her to actually thinking she wasn’t so bad. Caleb I loved before this book, during this book, and after this book.

There was one thing I could have done without but it didn’t completely take over the story like so many books that have this scenario in it, so it didn’t really take away from the story for me like it usually does when it happens.

I can’t wait to get Naomi and Joe next that sounds really interesting, Clint and Beth sounds like a great story for me too….oh and Neil and Malachi would be nice in the future too, especially Malachi.

True Love

2 April 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Honestly, the books get better each time and I loved the first one! Freya Barker has given me an opportunity to read about real women living real lives who still get swept off their feet and find romance and true love. I adore that the heroines have issues, for Katie, it's something that recently happened to her and she's having to adjust her world. I adore that Katie pushes herself but also acknowledges her limitations. And I adore that Caleb loved her when she was fit and able and when she was confined to a chair. I appreciated seeing Caleb support Katie but not smother her or make her an invalid. She didn't lose her brains, her courage or her heart, just the loss of her legs for a while and he respects that. So when reading a book that I can truly relate to, and seeing true love and romance, it swept me away. I was sad when it ended and can't wait for the next book and the next real couple finding love!
