Hidden Miles: A Small-Town Romance (The Miles Family Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Claire Kingsley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 11,046 ratings
“I wasn’t ready for this. Hannah deserved a man who was whole, not a broken shell. But I couldn’t resist her. Couldn’t resist this. It felt too good. And would that be so bad? To have something that felt good for once?”

Leo Miles came home broken—wounded and scarred. It’s been five years, and he hasn’t left his family’s land. Not once. It’s not much of a life, but the way he looks now, he prefers to stay hidden.

His only reprieve is her voice. He puts on his headset, logs in to his game, and she’s there. They talk while they play, sharing everything but personal details. She’s his best friend—his happy place—even though he doesn’t know her real name. Until one day, he hears a voice he recognizes.

Meeting Hannah Tate in person rocks the reclusive Leo’s world. And discovering she’s in trouble—serious trouble—changes everything.

Hannah is Leo’s every fantasy come true. And the badass gamer girl is determined to break through his defenses. But between the mess that is his life, and the threats to his family’s safety, he can’t be anyone’s hero. Least of all hers. But maybe they both need saving.

Author’s note: A wounded hero who’ll squeeze your heart. A girl in trouble. And the family who won’t let either of them down.

The Miles Family is best enjoyed in order.

Review

"Hidden Miles left my heart warm and my eyes teary with its absolute beauty in the power of love and its ability to save you when you least expect it." ~Jasmine, Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★

"Leo Miles is my kyptonite. A wounded vet isolating himself because he doesn't feel worthy of love. SIGN ME UP!" ~Book Cravers Blog ★★★★★

"Believe me, I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could. Leo is more than I imagined he would be. And that was tough to do. But Claire knocked it out of the park." ~Jodi, Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★

"These two are soul mates and even though they don't always have it easy, they appreciate the simple things, and truly love and respect each other." ~Read Me Romance Blog ★★★★★

"As always, there is humor (hello, Cooper Miles is still around...), some drama, hot sexy times, and some swoony AF moments. There were a few times where my heart just broke, but CK has this way of stitching it all back up." ~Brianna, Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★

"Did I mention that these two also had chemistry in spades?! I mean seriously smokin' hot! The sexual tension . . . the smallest and briefest of touches . . . the looks . . . Oh, yes! Those smoldering looks across the room that were hot enough to set the place on fire!" ~Red Enigma Book Blog ★★★★★

"Leo & Hannah's story was a beautiful tale of fate, love & triumphs over inner demons. Hannah is definitely Leo's match. Their chemistry was undeniable and I really enjoyed how Hannah pushed Leo to move forward with care and respect." ~Nicole, Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★

"The author has completely outdone herself with this story of friendship, finding courage within yourself and most importantly, family. I truly loved Hidden Miles and I highly suggest reading the ENTIRE series!" ~Sultry Sirens Blog ★★★★★

"The suspense builds to the very end as Leo and Hannah grow closer to one another. It's a page turner and an emotional sweet, sexy forever kind of love story." ~Jeannie, Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★

"With a storyline that had my emotions in overdrive this is another book from Claire Kingsley that you do not want to miss. You will fall in love with Leo and Hannah and want too read this book more than once." ~The Overflowing Bookcase Blog ★★★★★

    Leo Miles story was one I was looking forward to reading from the first mention of him I'm book one and this book was no disappointment. Leo was seriously wounded overseas and when he returned home to his family, he wasn't the same and leaving the family land was out of the question. Five years later he still hasn't left and being around anyone outside of the family is out of the question, which is why gaming is a great escape.

    Enter Hannah, someone he never thought he would meet in person, but when he recognizes her voice at a wedding on his family's vineyard, everything changes. Hannah's trying to get out of a bad relationship and fleas the vineyard she was at once but somehow found comfort in, never expecting to run into her online friend. Leo offers her a place to land while she figures out her future and Hannah pushes Leo in exactly the way he needs, but is it all enough?

    I loved this book so much. Both Hannah and Leo were great characters with such amazing character growth and they way they were always able to support each other was just great. Definitely check the content warnings of this book, there were mentions of some pretty heavy subject matter throughout this book, though I think it was all handled really well. And of course seeing everyone from the previous books was a perfect bonus. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who enjoys the following.

    ✔️ Forced Proximity
    ✔️ He Takes Care of Her

    Excellent story! I SO loved this book! After reading book 3, Cooper was my favorite brother, but he's been nudged out of first place by Leo. You can't help but feel empathy for Leo. Scarred emotionally and physically as an aftermath to his time in the Army, Leo had become a recluse. He never left his family's winery, avoided people outside of his family, and even remained somewhat distant with family members. He didn't like to be touched. He had panic attacks. For him, recreation was participating in online gaming. His favorite gaming favorite was a woman he only knew as Gigz. Via their headset conversations as they teamed up for games, he knew the sound of her voice. They engaged in casual conversations, but knew no personal information about each other or even how each other looked. Gigz, whose real name was Hannah, was in a toxic, living-together relationship with a boyfriend she feared. Hannah attended a wedding with her boyfriend Jace at the Miles family winery. Leo heard her voice and realized she was Gigz. He didn't introduce himself to her, but their eyes met briefly and Hannah was shocked by her intense, internal reaction to (who she thought) was a perfect stranger. The next time they're online, Leo doesn't know how to reveal to her that he'd seen her in person. When Jace goes from being emotionally to physically abusive, she leaves town and winds up back at the winery, which had seemed like a comforting and safe place to her. She and Leo meet again and she finds out who he really is. He encourages her to leave Jace for good. She agrees it's time to do that, and returns alone to pack up her things. Leo, who is still emotionally unable to leave the winery, stays behind and waits for her call that she's on her way back. Instead, Hannah calls him from the hospital. Jace came home unexpectedly and beat her up when he found her packing to leave. It's SO romantic that Leo immediately tells his family he needs to borrow car keys, as he's determined to go to her. Kudos to the Miles brothers who all jump up and go with him (with one of them driving). Hannah's being released from the hospital, and they all go to her former apartment and help pack her things, taking her back to the winery. Cooper privately asks Hannah to stay with Leo at his place, because he feels Leo may have a negative, anti-climatic reaction to leaving the winery (first and only time in five years). Leo and Hannah's attraction to each other becomes romantic, hot, and real, but they face a bumpy road as they both heal from past wounds. The description of that process is very realistic. The minefield of chaos and drama triggered by Leo's dad's past actions causes danger for the family, especially for Leo. The road to a HEA is not easy for Hannah and Leo. There's a lot of angst in this story, but it's all very believable. You can't help but root for this couple. The closeness of the Miles family is heartwarming. This is a story that I will probably reread in the future. I know that there is presently only one more book in this series, but I hope that the author will eventually write a book about the half-sister Grace and possibly the younger, half-brother Elijah, too.

    Finally we get Leo’s story. What a great one. We knew he was hurting and hiding from life, the saddest thing ever. The chance meeting with his best friend, Hannah who he only knew from online gaming, and the chance they both had to help and support each other was well told. The confrontation of her demons and his willingness to save his family and ultimately Hannah and their unborn child was so moving. These wonderful stories are such a pleasure to read, the talent of Claire Kingsley to bring these characters to life is astounding. Thanks again CK.

    Leo Miles meidet die Öffentlichkeit seit er durch einen Einsatz bei der Army schwer verletzt wurde. Auf seiner linken Körperseite hat er Verbrennungen erlitten und ist auch im Gesicht von Narben gezeichnet; zudem leidet er unter einer posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung und hat seit fünf Jahren das Weingut seiner Familie nicht mehr verlassen. Er verbringt die meiste Zeit am Computer. Er kümmert sich um die IT-Belange des Weinguts und verbringt die Nächte größtenteils mit Online-Spielen. Von seiner Online-Freundin Gigz kennt er weder ihren Namen noch ihren Aufenthaltsort, umso fassungsloser ist er als er eines Tages auf dem Weingut ihre Stimme hört und zum ersten Mal die reale Gigz sieht.
    Hannah Tate lebt in einer unglücklichen Beziehung mit Jace, einem Polizisten, vor dem sie immer mehr Angst hat. Da sie nicht weiß wohin sie flüchten soll, versucht sie sich mit der Situation zu arrangieren. Als sie auf einer Hochzeit Leo für einen kurzen Moment sieht, ist sie von seinem Blick magisch angezogen, nichtsahnend, dass es sich dabei um ihren online-Freund Badger handelt.
    Als Hannah von ihrem Freund Jace körperlich angegriffen wird und die Flucht ergreift, hat sie nur ein Ziel - das Weingut, auf dem sie den unbekannten Mann gesehen hat, dem sie sich irgendwie verbunden fühlt.

    Hidden Miles ist die Geschichte um den mittleren Bruder Leo Miles. Anders als Buch drei in dem es eher heiter und verrückt zugeht, ist Band vier eine ernste, traurige und eher düstere Erzählung. Leo fühlt sich schuldig und glaubt als Strafe für seine Schuld sein Aussehen verdient zu haben, Glück ist in seiner Lebensplanung nicht vorgesehen, er kämpft sich durch jeden einzelnen Tag. Nicht mal seine Familie darf in körperlich berühren. Mit sehr viel Einfühlungsvermögen erzählt die Autorin Leos Geschichte. Als Nebenhandlung gibt es immer noch die Schwierigkeiten, die Leos Vater Lawrence verursacht hat und die immer gewaltigere Ausmaße annehmen. Obwohl das Buch viel trauriger ist als die anderen Bücher ist es doch ein großes Lesevergnügen, und man fiebert dem glücklichen Ende entgegen. Absolute Leseempfehlung!
