Sometimes the last thing you expect is exactly what you need, the final missing piece. And sometimes it comes in the form of a towering, broody sheriff, determined to get in your way at every step.
Ridley Sawyer knows what it's like to miss someone, to feel like a piece of her vanished—because it happened to her the night her twin sister disappeared.
Now, Ridley channels that loss into hope, traveling the country covering cold cases for her true crime podcast. She might not have found justice for her sister but that doesn't stop her from finding it for others.
Until Sheriff Colter Brooks gets in her way.
Colt knows what it's like to have reporters descend on his town in the wake of a tragedy, and he's not about to let a fiery podcaster stir up trouble. It doesn't matter that her haunting blue eyes tell him there's more to Ridley's story or that he can't stop imagining what it would be like to touch her.
But when Ridley's cold case turns hot and she's thrust into the crosshairs, Colt has no choice but to step in. Suddenly, Ridley's living at his house, drinking his whiskey, and stealing his dog's affections. But she's also proving that she's so much more than his first impression.
And as they get closer to the truth, the game they've been playing might just turn deadly…

SOOOOO I've seen this pop up on my GR feed a time or two, not my normal type of read, (but hey I never liked zombie books either, now look at me)
Once I #oneclicked this, I dived right in..Forgot about breakfast, lunch zoomed by and dinner is a thing in the past, that flew by too..lol And I didn’t even notice, other than the rumbling of my stomach…
Anywho..stating the obvious once I started, I couldn’t put it down..It just seemed so effortlessly how easily I was drawn into this book, from the get go I was hooked.
Ridley is a popular true crime podcaster going where the calling takes her, putting her skills and knowledge to the test and cracking cases wide open. It became personal for her when her sister went missing with no leads and slowly became another cold case statistic. With a feeling deep in her gut she arrives in the sleepy town of Shady Cove to investigate another cold case. This one also hits close to home due to her sisters own case, she also has a niggling feeling that a serial killer grabbed his first victim from Shady Cove who so happens to be Colt's sister.
Oh how I loved Ridley, how she didn't let tragedy define her, it became her driving force and strength to help others like herself find closure.
Colt is the small town sheriff who constantly suffers from foot and mouth disease, as soon as these two cross paths he stuffs up.
I really enjoyed this one, all those feels wrapped up in a giant knot of wool, the giggles came freely when it came to her over the top spoilt cat, the sadness of wanting closure for her twin, the banter between the hero and our heroine, definitely brought those grumpy and sunshine vibes, then both connecting on a higher level when it came to their siblings.
This author definitely has a way with words, and I’d really like to read something else by her if you’ve got any suggestions hit me up. Because this won’t be the last book I read of hers..
