I’ve heard so many things about this book and was definitely excited to get into it but unfortunately, I had hard times getting into this book.
The writing wasn’t definitely for me and couldn’t really get the appeal on it.
I honestly wanted to finish the book but I just couldn’t get passed on 14%.
Anyway, thank you NetGalley for the review copy.

This kind of books... LOVE THEM.
I love the real characters, the ones who face struggles and own up to their faults. I love flawed characters, wanting to do better. I love good writing; writing that will transport you in the story from the get go. And I love a strong man wanting to take care of his woman. A cowboy is just a plus.
I love a good mystery, cuz it keeps you hooked. This book definitely did!
So... Mystery + Romance + Down to earth characters = Would 100% recommend!
The only reason why it's only got 4 stars instead of 5, is...

This was a little to dark for me for a romance, but it was still interesting.
We get to watch Grey as she hits rock bottom after her miscarriage and during her husbands infidelity, but she has an epic moment where she verbally attacks everyone in a drunken rant while accepting an award, that made my jaw drop. She loses her job, leaves her husband and moves to a small town to a house she bought sight unseen online. When she starts renovating she finds letters in her wall, they're from a very angry young kid and they are pretty disturbing.
Etta is the nosy next door neighbor and a straight talking older woman who always visits bearing baked goods and I love her.
Rebound guy Lucas is a rich douche in town trying to buy everyone's land in her area to build a resort, her mechanic neighbor Declan though is all of the tough protective alpha vibes.
P.S. her house is haunted.
TW: miscarriage, alcoholism, animal abuse, rape and murder.
I received this as an ARC through NetGalley

Grey immediately drew me in. She’s driven, sarcastic, very strong and yet completely flawed. Her world is crumbling and she’s not handling it very well, but losing her dream job is the wakeup call she needs to change her life. She leaves her cold marriage and cheating husband behind and escapes to a small town to rebuild her life as something better.
I can’t really say much about the male leads without being a spoiler, so I’ll just say that I was pleased with how the love story wraps. There’s a ghost story aspect to it that was interesting but honestly could have been left out. This story moved a little slow, with most of the action crammed in the second half and I think it could have been shorter without losing anything. That said, it was still an enjoyable read.

Rattlesnake Road was a complete whirlwind of emotions for me from the get-go. We are introduced to Grey in the midst of her deciding to leave her husband due to his serial cheating, and lack of support during the loss of a pregnancy, all whilst she is dealing with her own addiction. Completely uprooting herself to deal with her demons she meets 2 men: one rich and reminiscent of the husband Grey has just left, and the other a local man ruled by his own morality. This choice combined with the uncovering of a cold-case as a sub-plot kept me on toes throughout this novel.
This book had my emotions all over the place: sad, happy, and sometimes anger at Grey for acting irresponsibly. It deals with sensitive topics extremely well and was a brilliant introduction for myself to this author. I can't wait to continue this series!
Thankyou to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free copy of this in exchange for an unbiased review.

Flove the cover and blurb! This was a first read by this author and it didn’t disappoint!
What did I like? So Grey acts like her name, bad marriage, miscarriage, and sobriety issues have her making some changes in life. A move to a small town later and she meets two different men in her quest to get her life back. I didn’t want to put it down. Five stars!
Would I recommend or buy? I definitely recommend this book and can’t wait to read more by this author! It was a unique mystery and a romance in one.
I received a complimentary copy to read and voluntarily left a review!

After Grey loses her job and a horrible marriage to a rich man, she moves to a small town of Berry Springs where she meets different men in her new life. Declan and Lucas, the two love interest. There is a mystery attached to this book. I would love to include the triggers if you do have them. Miscarriage, murderer perspective, alcoholism and an almost sexual assault. Overall this was a good book. The H was introduced later in the book than I would have liked. But over all this was an interesting read.
