Review

Rachel Sorentino is use to protecting her family. When a group of men decides to vandalize her property, it’s no different. When she rushes after the men herself, she realizes she is into too deep and calls her former lover, Sheriff Vaughn Cooper.

Vaughn doesn’t hesitate to get out to the ranch to help Rachel. The problem is that Rachel shot the son of one of the County’s most prominent men. With their steamy past and his re-election coming up, Vaughn needs to proceed with extreme caution. When Rachel is involved, Vaughn is willing to toss it all aside.

I like this series. It has some feel good moments. Rachel is tough and she holds the family together after the death of their mother. She is carrying some heavy burdens and secrets close to her chest. The author does a great job of showing some of Rachel’s vulnerabilities. Vaughn knows how to break down those walls and he sees all of her.

Who would have thought that Sheriff Cooper had it in him? He is hot! He brings the heat. Some of the scenes are a bit kinky for this kind of book but I like that darker, sexier side. Rachel is just the woman for him. She knows what he needs and she actually likes it. Go Rachel!

The thing that I disliked about this book is that the author drags the specifics with Rachel’s case and Vaughn’s involvement out. Vaughn doesn’t have to risk almost everything to protect Rachel. He is stubborn and almost an idiot. He brings unnecessary angst to the story and the whole hiding their romance started to grate on my nerves. Everyone knew they were banging each other.

I can’t wait to get Jenny’s story. She is the fun sister with the son. I can’t wait to get her background story.
