Set Me Free (Serenity's Standalones Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 326 ratings

A love story that starts at the top of the world.

For Chloe, a tandem skydive seems like the perfect opportunity to prove to her ex that she's not as boring as he declared. But planning to jump and actually jumping are very different things. Luckily, there's a gorgeous instructor who is happy to come up with an ingenious way to distract her.

After escaping captivity in Afghanistan, Garth Rowland spends most of his time outdoors, trying to forget the terrifying memory of being imprisoned and tortured. Then he meets Chloe, who embodies freedom with her sky-blue eyes and hair the colour of the summer sun.

A one-night stand on the beach quickly leads to a summer fling. But they both have ghosts to exorcise before love can set them free.

Winner of the Harlequin Blaze Aviator Challenge. Previously published by Escape Publishing as Summer Fling.

Review

For the previous edition, published as Summer Fling

"There really wasn't anything I disliked about this book... For me, Summer Fling was a charming B read." Dabney from Dear Author

From the Inside Flap

He decided diversion was the best tactic. 'Have you recovered from your jump yet?'

She hesitated as if wondering whether to press the matter, then appeared to give in. 'Just. It took me a while to come down from that high. I don't know how you do it several times a day.'

He glanced up at the cloudless sky, following a seagull as it soared and dipped above their heads. 'It reminds me I'm alive.' For a brief moment, the image of the cell flashed through his mind. His stomach clenched with familiar panic, and he forced himself to concentrate on the bright sky. The color of Chloe's eyes.

As the panic faded, he looked back at her. 'Like you,' he said absently. 'You make me feel free.'

A frown flickered on her brow and, to his surprise, she reached up a hand and touched his face. He caught his breath at the pity in her eyes. She'd glimpsed the darkness inside him and she understood.

He froze, waiting for her to pull back, but she didn't. The scene around them faded, and he could only think about Chloe and how he wanted to lose himself in her.

He moved closer to her in the sand. Her lips parted, but she still didn't move. Nor did she step back as she had with Stewart.

Slipping a hand to cup the back of her head, he kissed her.

Her lips were soft and slightly sticky from the lip balm she must have applied before coming outside. As he moved his lips across hers, they peeled apart in such an erotic way that he hardened immediately. He groaned and slid his other arm around her waist to kiss her again.

Chloe inhaled and opened her mouth, and he took the opportunity to slide his tongue against hers as he tightened his grip and pulled her against him. The lip balm tasted of cherries, and she smelled of sun screen and hot summer against the stronger beach aromas surrounding them of barbecue and salty sea. She put her arms around him and melted into his embrace, and desire swept through him from his toes to the roots of his hair.

He kissed her, demanding and yet tender at the same time, fighting the urge to possess her, to dominate, and not quite succeeding. Sliding his hand to the small of her back, he pressed her against him, wanting her to know how much she affected him, and how much he desired her. Would she pull away?

But she didn't. She moaned deep in her throat and pushed her hips forward, holding his face as she met each thrust of his tongue with one of her own. His heart thundered and blood surged around his body, centering in his groin. He wanted her - God, how he wanted her.

Then he remembered they were on the beach in full view of everyone. What was he doing grabbing her like this in public? He released her and she stumbled back, pressing fingers to her lips and looking up at him with wide, startled eyes.

They stared at each other, the sand almost turning to glass from the heat that radiated between their bodies.

Only when she glanced to her left and dropped her hand to reveal her mouth in an 'O' of surprise did he turn to see Stewart watching them, a beer in each hand, his face full of dismay and unfiltered anger.

    I loved this story so much. It is as hot and steamy as it is sweet. Garth is damaged emotionally but so is Chloe. It is love at first sight, or is it lust? Chloe doesn't trust herself or men. Garth has a horrible past he is trying to overcome. Together they burn up the sheets but out of the bedroom they have major issues to overcome.

    This is a really delightful story I recommend highly.

    Serenity Woods never fails me. Even though she is a prolific writer each of her books has some unique aspect, unlike some of these authors who just churn out book after book with basically the same plot and the same overused phrases. I've read all her Standalones and they are excellent. Between her and Rosalind James I am going to have to visit New Zealand!!

    Such a sweet, sexy, steamy story!! Poor Garth has had his share of pain and misfortune. Chloe was raised by a bipolar mother, so her view on love is misguided. Sparks fly when Garth and Chloe meet and continue to sizzle throughout. They both sort their past ghosts and from there, the sky is the limit!!

    They met while he was helping her on her first jump. She was chickening out when he kissed her. They both had problems. She had a cheating ex, and a bipolar mother. He had a Afghani prison and a cheating wife. Very good story. Very steamy in some areas.

    A sweet story where the main characters are each dealing with their own demons, but manage to help each other. Set in New Zealand, this standalone is a quick read that has you cheering for Chloe and Garth! Worth reading!

    Reviewed in Australia on August 6, 2018

    Chloe meets Garth on a sky dive. Garth is the flight company owner and is immediately attracted to Chloe.
    Chloe has been badly hurt by a man she thought she loved and is wary of relationships.
    Garth got caught up in the hell of war in Afghanistan and also lost his wife to death and betrayal.
    These two damaged souls are immediately caught in a whirlwind of romance and pleasure. It could be so much more, but can Chloe trust a man again? And Garth, is his heart so twisted with the need for revenge that he doesn't see that he may be destroying the best thing he's ever had?
    Serenity Woods writes delightful romances, many set in New Zealand and they are so enjoyable.

    Chloe's ex-boyfriend was a real slimeball! He stole all her savings, then she caught him in bed with another woman. To add insult to injury he said she was dull and boring, afraid to take risks! So she went sky-diving to prove him wrong ... not a good choice for someone afraid of heights!

    Her instructor is Garth, and there is an instant attraction between them. Both have serious issues to eat with before the path of true love can run smoothly! Serenity is very good at writing emotions, you can feel their pains, and doubts, and joys! This is quite a short book, but feels much longer!

    Well worth reading (less)

    Serenity is one of my favourite authors. This book engaged me from beginning to end. Garth is determined to put his past to rest and move on. Unfortunately his plans for revenge will affect his budding relationship with Chloe. They both have things to work through to stand a chance of becoming a couple.
