  AVALANCHE Ricochet Ridge - Book Three by Jillian D Wray Release Date: April 30, 2026 Review Hanlon and Stone had a complicated relationship. Step brothers, with parents determined to have them become a family, an age gap, and Hanlon’s disability meant that their parental attention was skewed. They both loved each other as people, but Stone needed to go, to find his own path, his own identity. He’s carved out a life on the Mountain preventing avalanches. The avalanche he couldn’t see coming was Hanlon joining his team. Their journey wasn’t easy or calm, but the chemistry was clear, and they discovered something that was worth fighting for. One more to go, which, truthfully, I’m a little cautious about because Logan displayed some problematic behaviour, but I’m always ready for a redemption story.
