When I first downloaded the book, I originally thought it was a mystery/thriller/detective story with a hint of romance. After reading, I learned the reverse was true. Though one of my critiques was that sometimes the detective plot fell to the wayside for the romance, the plot lines were closed up by the end and I was hooked regardless.
Also on the subject of critiques: I didn’t super enjoy how for the first part of the book, the MCs were mostly into each other based on looks and
The book is self-described by the author as enemies to lovers, but I wouldn’t say it felt like that trope. Though there were some feelings of tension and resistance, it felt like this was the case because
Anywho, I loved how this book touched on death of a loved one/parents,

I am so eager to read the rest of the 5 books in the story and learn about the rest of the Eden siblings!! This might make me cave and buy Kindle Unlimited sooner than I planned…

Winslow Covington is the new chief of police for Quincy, Montana, and she doesn’t have time for relationships—much less with her one night stand, who is actually the son of the most prominent family in town.
I had so much fun buddy reading this one! I am not usually a big fan of romantic suspense, because I feel like the suspense plot tends to take a backseat, but I thought it was well done here and I was really interested in the crime and its resolution. I also loved the setting, and the characters/family dynamics were super fun as well. In a lot of ways, this reminds me of a contemporary Montana version of the Bridgertons, and I am here for that.
I didn’t love the romance aspect of the plot quite as much, and felt like some of the relationship between Griffin and Winslow was a bit rushed or underdeveloped. I also expected way more spice, and while I’d be fine with this if it was consistent, I was a bit confused by the choice to have several fade-to-black scenes before ultimately including open-door scenes about halfway through the book.
Overall, though, I recommend this one and I’d call it a pretty solid four stars. I’m really excited to continue with the series!

While this was good, it kept losing my interest throughout. The mystery was okay, but I feel it could have been much better.
I loved Winslow and how sure of herself she was. She was a strong female lead and I liked how she wasn't afraid to put Griffin in his place.
Also, why does the name of the vehicle need to be said every single time it's driven?! You can say she stepped into her car, it doesn't have to be mentioned every single time that it's a Durango. Just sayin'.
