SHALLOW RIVER by H.D. Carlton “Shallow Hill is where souls suffer slow and miserable deaths.When River McAllister escaped from Shallow Hill, she left her innocence behind--and some of her sanity, too. Now she's rebuilding her life with her dream man and life couldn't be better.Ryan Fitzgerald is everything you'd want in a man. Attractive, rich, an aspiring lawyer, and would do anything to keep River. But that's not the only thing that attracts her. It's his attentiveness, his possessiveness... maybe not so much his temper.When her relationship takes a dark turn, Ryan's estranged brother, Mako, is the only one who sees it. He knows exactly what Ryan is capable of, and it's not the first time he had to be a knight in shining armor.River came from Shallow Hill, though. She's never needed saving before. What Mako doesn't see, is that River is perfectly capable of taking care of herself.The only one who should be scared is Ryan.”I must say, I went into this book without knowing what it was about. Due to the writing style of H.D. Carlton I had put this on my tbr. So I am going to say this, PLEASE CHECK YOUR TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ For me triggers are non existent (yes maybe I’m a bit fucked up
This is my favorite H.D. Carlton book. Mako is just sooo dreamy and lovable. Rivers story is so heartbreaking but also relatable. I don’t want to spoil anything but I will say Ryan is pure trash. If you have read and liked any of her other books you’ll love this one too.
Another great story!Shallow River by H.D. Carlton is the kind of book that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. It’s dark, emotional, and raw, but at its core, it’s a story about survival and healing. The characters feel real—flawed, messy, and deeply human—which makes their journey even more gripping.Carlton’s writing is immersive, and while the book tackles heavy themes, there are also moments of warmth and connection that balance the darkness. If you love a romance that’s more than just surface-level and aren’t afraid of a little emotional wreckage along the way, this one’s worth picking up.
