  MELTDOWN Ricochet Ridge - Book One by Jillian D Wray Release Date: February 24, 2026 Review My first by Jillian, and it won’t be the last. These two are slightly co-dependent best friends. Relying on each other emotionally in all things, but Damon is hiding his sexuality, and Liam is in many ways hiding from his own emotions. Two weeks at a sky lodge is the perfect time for secrets to come out and some hard truths to be faced. I enjoyed the characters and the writing. There was some wonderful tension and a lot of love, which made their story hard-earned, while also feeling like the easiest thing there is. Definitely looking forward to the next in this series.
