I love the innkeeper series, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I didn't mind the plot, but the dirtbag male leads made the romance plotline a bit unbearable for me.

I love their Innkeeper series, but this one just didn’t connect for me. I was listening to the audiobook, and at about 30% I put it on 1.25x. Around 50% I increased it to 1.5x, and I still couldn’t push through. Mad Rogan is a sociopath who kidnaps and tortures the main character. That’s how they meet. Not really a spoiler since it’s in the cover summary, but the torture was an unwelcome surprise. And even if I could swallow the victim to lovers trope, they had no chemistry, no matter how many times Nevada declares him to be sexy. Maybe it was my expectations. I went in expecting a paranormal romance. I didn’t expect the constant death and violence. I think I’ll re-read the Innkeeper series instead.

Plot was a little messy but overall this was a fun, couldn't-put-down read. I love Rogan and Nevada and I thought the slow burn was done well in terms of the buildup and tension. I liked the struggles Nevada had with giving into her feelings, protecting her heart, protecting her family and maintaining boundaries, though it was a bit annoying a couple times when her pride was the main issue. I loved seeing them partner and work together through the action scenes, especially when she could come in to compensate for Rogan's limits. I think the author tried a little too hard to make some of the secondary characters silly/quirky (especially the grandma, I think it made her personality inconsistent), but I liked most of them and how many were given a brief backstory. One thing the authors did really well was including diversity throughout the series, including characters of varied skin colors, ethnicities and romantic orientations.
