“Colt, you helped me find all the missing pieces. Even the ones I didn’t realize I needed.”

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Catherine Cowles is the QUEEN of romantic suspense!! This book was SO good!! I loved that our main characters had nicknames for each other almost from the start: Colt = Law Man, Ridley = Chaos. Just so cute!!

Speaking of cute, the animal sidekicks in this book were TOP NOTCH!! We've got Tater, the 3-legged cat, and Bowser the dog. You can never go wrong with animal sidekicks!!

This book will take you on a WILD, emotional rollercoaster, and along the way you'll fall in love with Colt's grumpy demeanor, and how Ridley is a true-crime podcaster due to her sister's death still being unsolved. Even though their relationship starts off rocky, their banter is hilarious from the beginning and their chemistry quickly sizzles!

I have yet to read a Catherine Cowles book that I don't LOVE, and I can't wait to read the next Shady Cove book!!
