A review by jonetta
Forsaken by B.J. Daniels
4.0
New deputy sheriff Bentley Jamison has to tell prickly sheep rancher Maddie Connor that one of her ranch hands is missing. Unfortunately, it's her shepherd who took the entire flock into the mountains to graze. When she and Bentley go searching them, things get dicey and dangerous. Meanwhile, Sheriff Frank Curry's ex-wife takes things to a new low while Nettie Benton, growing weary of waiting on him, has her head turned when former bad boy J. D. West comes back to town.
I had a hard time putting this book down as there were three interesting storylines in play and I knew they had to converge at some point. I was baffled by Maddie and Bentley's challenge and Frank's issues were just frustrating. This was the best story to date and while I figured out most of the mystery, I wasn't able to solve it all.
Graham Winton does a great job with the narration, providing the proper regional accents expected and "telling" instead of reading the story. I'm not crazy about his female voices (they can sound a bit shrewish at times) but that didn't interfere with my level of enjoyment.
It was a nice change to have more mature main characters, making the romance just lovely. Their kind regard for each other was refreshing. I loved that part of the mystery is still open (not a cliffhanger) and I can't wait to listen to the next book.
