I don’t even know where to begin with this review, so let’s start with Layne. What a beautiful character! I absolutely adore her. She has a painful chronic illness that made me hurt for her, but she fights through it with strength, a sense of humor, and an unshakable faith in God. The faith thread in this story is beautiful! Next, Keaton, oh Keaton, I think he’s one of my all time favorite male characters. There was just something about him that drew me to him. His story is one of pain too, but emotional pain, not physical pain. I hurt for him in a totally different way. He also persevered through his trauma, but not in a good way. I loved his redemption! I loved him. Put these two together and you have magic. There’s also a great mystery thread in this story. I was completely shocked at its outcome.
This story ran me through the gamut of emotions. I loved every second of it. This was one story I was sad to see end. I could’ve kept reading about these characters and their lives. I cannot wait for the next book in this series! I am so intrigued already plus, I want to catch up with Layne and Keaton. Gold Digger jumps to one of my all time favorite reads! Skylar J. Kent is an author not to be missed!
*I received a complimentary copy of this book. I also purchased a copy. All opinions are my own. The faith thread is medium. 5 stars!!
BackCover Blurb:
LAYNE
Marrying a filthy rich womanizer with an ego that needs its own zip code wasn't on my bucket list. But God had other plans.
Six years ago, a chronic illness tore me from competitive climbing, leaving me with crippling pain and fatigue. After being denied Disability because “it’s all in my head,” I grab the last viable option for provision—a marriage of convenience.
Being the wife of a millionaire while protecting my health brings a whole new set of challenges. Then I discover Keaton Grady guards a secret that could get us both killed.
KEATON
Get hitched or lose everything—that ultimatum upended my life.
Poised to fulfill the lifelong goal of taking over my family’s multigenerational whiskey company, I’m caught up in a scandal that costs Lincoln Grady Distillery our most valuable client. That’s when my parents lay down the law: find a wife and restore my reputation or walk away from it all.
Fine. I’ll play their little game—and own it. Marrying a sick woman makes me look like a saint, but Layne Rhyner challenges me to rethink my values. Not only do I bare the darkest parts of my soul to her, I realize she isn’t digging my gold—I’m digging hers.
But the more I care about her, the more I drag her into harm’s way.
