I have no words
This book was absolutely amazing. It goes back and forth between the present and 10 years ago so that we can understand what happened all those years ago that shaped the characters into who they are now. It also goes between Grace and Kanes POV as well.
This was such an amazing read and I devoured each page like it was going out of style.

A spicy, enticing stand alone quick read, perfect after ending a long trilogy, the need for a bit of spice, or just a fun shirt read!

This book was one that was easy to read and held me captive from start to finish. Grace is heading back to the place where her life was utterly destroyed in the most embarrassing way. She is out for vengeance to the one that caused her demise yet when she gets there she isn’t expecting what she finds. Her nemesis Kane is the one that has her heart even if he shredded it so she wants to bring him down. She plans to do the same that was done to her but when she gets to town Kane is no longer part of the Coyote gang the evil Eric is leader now and Kane is the town’s sheriff. Kane knows his past was wrong and he has tried everyday since to make up for his wrong doings and now with grace back in town not only does he need to protect her but they both need to face the past together. When Grace realizes all is not what it seems and that she has never stopped loving Kane can she forgive him and move on or is the pain still too much to bear? I loved Kane’s character the way he turned his life around and while yes Grace’s fall was painful I felt at times she should have talked to him instead of waiting. She waited ten years to come back and talk to Kane as adults and then she would have had more time with him and time to let go of the pain. She was too hurt and naive to realize that running away not only hurt her but Kane too. Her plan was to bring him down, get him fired, and walk away but she can’t bring herself to do it. I just wanted her to see how immature that plan was and that Kane was a victim as much as she was. Overall this was a great read that held my attention and made fall in love with Kane.

How do you celebrate the day your life was ruined when it also happens to be your birthday? By going back to ruin the one who ruined you
Grace returns to the town where she hit rock bottom to get revenge on the boy and his friends who ruined her life 10 years ago but when she returns she finds Kane is a man not a boy and annoyingly he grew up.
Grace continues with he plan anyway and ends up attacked by his friends and arrested.
This wasn’t how the plan was meant to go and now instead of ruining her will Kane be the one to save her?
I really enjoyed this book, its not so much a bully romance than a redemption romance.

This is my first book by this author and it won't be my last. This book was one that was easy to read and held me captive from start to finish.
Ten years ago Grace left town angry and hurt. Kane has spent the last ten years trying to be a better person and stay away from the Coyotes aka his old gang. Now he is Sheriff. Grace is a girl who was wronged by Kane years ago and if it is the last thing she does she is going to get revenge.
I received an advance copy of this book. I am voluntarily giving my honest review, and I plan to buy this book when it becomes available.

You guys, the past couple weeks have been... something. Went from stressing about Christmas to isolation for the week of Christmas. Then thinning about my birthday (it was January 3rd) to again, more isolation this week & still need to stress and plan my daughter's birthday for the end of January.
So I needed something to help distract me from reality. And that's where Arrested by Nicola Rose comes in.
It follows Grace and Kane, who have a shared history, but what was the start of their relationship, went askew, and Grace fled. Now ten years later Grace is back to seek revenge and close that chapter in her life that has haunted her all this time.
This book takes place between two different time frames- there is the present and 10 years ago.
We see Grace as she is now, going into the town she once called home which brings up all the old memories, and the Grace as she was back then. There was two sides to her- the town Princess that everyone else saw, and the version of her that she kept locked away- but Kane saw through her facade. Like calls to like. Kane also had two versions of himself- the town bad boy that everyone else saw, and the version no one, not even his best friend witnessed. But Grace saw through to the real him.
One night was all they had. They got to know each other on a deeper level, but the next morning everything changed.
Grace fled town, leaving Kane behind.
Kane vowed to do better, be better.
So when Grace walked back into town again, he was not the same guy she left behind all those years ago. Will Grace go through with her plan of destroying Kane like she was destroyed, or will they have a second chance at making a relationship between them work? As Grace spends a night locked up by Sheriff Kane, she realizes he isn't the only one she has to watch out for- thanks to another blast from their past vying for her attention.
So from the months of October through January my reading slows down, a LOT because of everything that is going on between all the birthdays and holidays, and seasonal depression and I just hit a reading block and can't focus on too much. So I read less and change up what I read to try and help get through it. Arrested is a second chance police romance that takes place in the Salvation Society world (but is a stand-alone). Normally second chance isn't my favorite trope, but every once in awhile I love diving into it. This book had less angst and emotional turmoil then what I normally read. There wasn't any heavy bullying, or paranormal. It wasn't super dark- so for me, it was an easier/lighter read BUT it does have some emotional aspects and drama it just wasn't drastically done. It has the small town drama, the bad boy and spoiled princess relationship. The second chance at love and the search not only for revenge, but answers. You not only see Grace and Kane's relationship in the present but also what they were like ten years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed this book & these characters and loved reading another one of Nicola's novels. The only thing I had any issue with, is in not really a fan of the insta-love type trope, and even though they aren't progressing their love for one another in the second chapter it kinda falls under the same category. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.

Wow
What happens when the bad boy grows up to be the good man you never seen coming. Grace and Kane have a high school sex video that destroyed them just one day after finding each other fast for 10 years and facing the aftermath when Grace comes home.
