If there is a Queen of romantic suspense, it is the amazingly talented 𝙲𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚎 𝙲𝚘𝚠𝚕𝚎𝚜. She never fails to bring us absolutely Swoonworthy grumps, and the sunshine-y women that thaw them. And, this one had the added addition of an adorable basset hound & sweet three legged feline!  

If you love true crime shows & podcasts, this book is for you. I loved following Ridley.  She lost her sister many years ago, and now she has a true crime podcast set to help others. But, when she arrives in Shady Cove, there's a certain grumpy sheriff who takes her breath away. But, despite that, she's still after finding out what happened to her twin, and there is a missing piece to the puzzle that the sheriff just may be able to help her with. 

I loved the tension between Colt & Ridley. The enemies to lovers, was enemies to lovers-ing in the best way! Watching Colt's grumpy heart melt for Ridley was so addicting! The passion between them was absolutely undeniable! Throw in the banter and their story was epic! 

Having 𝐴𝑛𝑑𝑖 𝐴𝑟𝑛𝑑𝑡 & 𝑆𝑒𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑌𝑜𝑟𝑘 co-narrate this story was perfection. They bring all the feels, all the angst, all the banter & droolworthiness!

Now, there's more than just a captivating couple here, folks. There is a rollercoaster of a ride. So much of the missing pieces were scattered and kept me trying to guess who it was. The twists that 𝙲𝚊𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚎 𝙲𝚘𝚠𝚕𝚎𝚜 throws us are timed perfectly and when we reach the end.....let's just I did not see it coming and now I'm craving book 2!
