Review
So, I had mixed feelings about this debut book after finishing it. Parts of it I LOVED and parts of it I saw areas that could be strengthened. My biggest concern was that it felt like I had read it before. Not the specific plot but the dialogue and the way the book read felt similar to another author. Not a copy but definitely felt heavily influenced. Now saying that I love me a romantic suspense and this one had some great twist and turns as well as a man that was impossible not to fall for.
‘Jack might be a good guy, but he was very, very dangerous to my heart.’
Jack Gunnison (great name right) is the local sheriff and the HAIC (Head Alpha In Charge.) I loved him. He knows what (and who) he wants and isn’t afraid to jump in feet first. Why let something like only knowing someone for three days stop you from claiming them right. Now this chick here loves her a Love At First Sight book. So if you don’t than this isn’t for you but I do. I love the fantasy of it and when I read I want a little fantasy. Jenn is new in town, recently widowed and her daughter off to college she moves to town for a fresh start. Four months later and with a killer targeting those around she is thrust into the sights of the too hot for his own good sheriff.
“You with me baby? ‘Cause there’s no turning back after this, no way. Once I slip into that sweet heat of yours, you’re mine, do you hear me? You. Are. Fucking. Mine.”
Now, Jenn had some faults, she is supposed to be older (40ish) but would talk and act like someone of a younger crowd. At times this wore on me but I mostly brushed it off because to be honest there are older women out there who are just younger at heart. Jack and Jenn definitely had chemistry and while I enjoyed them as a couple I was way more into the who done it aspect of the book myself.
Overall, this was a good start to a series and I am looking forward to see how this author develops and grows.
** I want to note that at the time of posting this review I have continued this series and each book in it seems to get better and better.
