⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. After a bit of a slow start, the action picked up fairly quickly and became quite gripping.

BLURB

Dillon Young is struggling to keep things afloat after inheriting her aunt’s ranch. And it’s not even her fault. Somebody is definitely trying to intimidate her into selling and she has a good idea who. When a drunk Cal Bennett suddenly shows up on her property, her suspicions rise to an even higher level. But she is left confused when Cal saves her life more than once.

MY THOUGHTS

Dillon and Cal had a boatload of chemistry right from the start. Things developed rapidly and it got very serious very fast. The only disappointing element for me was that they spent most of the story apart, during which time Dillon believed the worst of Cal. And only at the end did they make it back together and suddenly all was forgiven. Both were strong, interesting characters.

The whodunnit element of the story was partly known and partly not, and this was what made it difficult to put down. I kept wondering about Cal’s involvement and the reasons for terrorizing Dillon. The action moved fast once it got started properly. And I found the bad guys believable and human.

Overall, it was pretty exciting and I enjoyed it. I can recommend this if you like contemporary romance with suspense thrown in.
