My Thoughts
Gabriella lived a nightmare for years as a teenager when a family member tortured her and turned her parents against her. Now she volunteers to help others not feel so alone. Unfortunately Danny is back and threatening her again. Her nightmare is back. After a phone call from him, she goes out to a bar to try and numb that fear that he instills in her. She meets Kolson and he ends up taking care of her after she drinks too much. He is intrigued by her and has her investigated and followed. After witnessing an encounter she has with her cousin, he takes it upon himself to protect her. She hasn't felt safe in years, but he gives her that. He would give her the world, but all she wants is him. He feels unworthy because of something in his past that he can't share with her, but he needs her as she brings light to his darkness. They share some pretty steamy moments together including one scorching hot helicopter encounter. He is also incredibly sweet with her and falls for her the more he sees and experiences Gabriella's heart. With his help she will face her nightmare and be stronger than ever before.
I so loved Gabby and my heart broke for all that she suffered. She came through it and found a way to make it so others wouldn't have to get through it alone like she had to. I adore Kolson. He is intense and sexy, but still manages to be vulnerable with Gabby. I am dying to know his secret and so hope that it is something he and Gabby can work through especially with him owing his father who has a part in that secret. I can't wait to read the next book in the series and see what happens next.
I give Freeing Her 4 hearts!

About the Book
• This novel contains mature content and it not intended for younger readers.
This is the beginning of a story... the story of two people who were meant to be together. Why? Because unknown to them, they shared terrifying pasts and the cruel circumstances of their births doomed both of them to a life of hell.
Two strangers ... one night ... one accidental meeting that changed their lives forever.
Gabriella Martinelli, Manhattan psychiatrist had only one goal in life—to help abuse victims avoid the horrors she’d experienced herself. She worked late, volunteered, and donated her services to anyone who needed them. Life was good ... until her nightmare resurfaced. He found her, and began stalking her, and she knew he wouldn’t stop until he destroyed every ragged piece of her.
Kolson Hart, Manhattan’s most eligible bachelor, was ruled by his dark past. He liked control, from the boardroom to the bedroom and didn’t care to be involved with someone whose life was just as screwed up as his was. But one look at Gabriella short-circuited everything. Want ... desire ... need ... will sometimes drive a man to do things he swore he never would.
He freed her from a life of fear ... When he couldn’t even save himself.
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!
