Favorite Quotes:

 

“We’re a team, right?” She couldn’t help but smile. “That’s us, one of the great detective couples. Like Nick and Nora.” He mugged a face. “More like Bonnie and Clyde.”

 

I swear, when it comes to women, Tucker doesn’t have the good sense of a rock.

 

My Review:

 

This book was 90% mystery/suspense and 10% slow building romance as the couple didn’t lock lips until 60% into the book and only indulged in one sizzling sensual encounter of knocking the boots at 80%. So my elderly mother could very well read this one if she knew where to “skip the naughty bit,” and wouldn’t require much use of her trusty sharpie to censor out much “language.” Sigh… We rarely read the same books but she would enjoy the several confounding and complicated mysteries involving several murders over nineteen years, family drama, disappearances, extortion, kidnapping, lust, betrayal, and paternity issues. I took note that the one mystery that I had assumed would be the easiest to crack was only partially resolved by the conclusion of the tale. Oh what an intricate plot this scribe has penned. While I didn’t care for the main character of Kate for the longest time as she was playing games and being manipulative, and her actions had been cruel and thoughtless, I adored the engaging Cahills and their knotty family tree of complex issues and personalities. B. J. Daniels has been a recent find and while I may be a city dweller, I do enjoy her small-town tales and well-seasoned cowboys for a chance of pace.

  8. Funny story (you will appreciate it). My local grocery store sells a lot of pre-made food from food bars. It’s smack dab in the middle of a corporate center so at lunch time there are a lot of young executives who dress all the same. And they aren’t very patient when moms with kids come it. The other day a cowboy came in with jeans, boots, and a hat. I was so shocked I may have drooled a little and followed him a couple of minutes. (yes, I know- I need help)

  10. Great review, I wouldn’t think this book was a mystery/suspense novel by the cover I thought it was a cowboy romance. But when I read the synopsis there is where I know the book was much more. I’m glad you enjoyed it DJ I might check it out one day. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post and putting this book on my radar.
