Winslow Covington believes in life, liberty and the letter of the law. As Quincy, Montana's new chief of police, she's determined to prove herself to the community and show them she didn't earn her position because her grandfather is the mayor.
According to her pops, all she has to do is earn favor with the Edens. But winning over the town's founding family might have been easier if not for her one-night stand with their oldest son. In her defense, it was her first night in town and she didn't realize that the rugged and charming man who wooed her into bed was Quincy royalty.
Sleeping with Griffin Eden was a huge mistake, one she's trying to forget. He's insufferable, arrogant and keeps reminding everyone that she's an outsider. Winslow does her best to avoid Griffin, but when a woman is found dead on Eden property, the two of them have no choice but to cross paths.
As clues to the murderer lead to one of Quincy's own, Griffin realizes Winslow is more than he gave her credit for. Beautiful and intelligent, she proves hard to resist. For him. And the killer.

I loved going back to Quincy again. The short story that introduced us to this small town was a perfect holiday read. Now we get to see more of the Eden family starting with big brother Griffin. This author can write small town romance like no other. This one comes with a twist in that our heroine is the new chief of police and she has an uphill battle to get respect.
Griffin typically only has one or two nights with the ladies and always a tourist so there is no commitment. He didn't realize who Winslow was until they met again after their hot night together. And that is all there was to it. He was drawn to her like no other. Somehow, he was going to win her over.
Quite a bit of suspense in this story but balanced with all the quirk of small town/ranch life. Loved the Eden family. I can't wait to read more of their stories. The chemistry between Winslow and Griff was hot from the start!
Perfect launch to a new series! Grab this one!

Riggs (Arizona Vengeance, Book #11) Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: October 26, 2021
Known as the team loner, Riggs Nadeau gives his all on the ice, but nothing extra off it. A beautiful stranger is about to cause chaos in his very structured world.
As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life.
On the surface, I do. But they don’t know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my seventeen-year-old sister, Janelle. And that’s exactly the way I like it.
They may think I’m a prick because I don’t like to share, but that’s fine. They don’t know me, and they don’t need to.
In an effort to help Janelle get settled in Phoenix and stay out of trouble at school, I set her up with a job at Clarke’s Corner, the local bookstore owned by the girlfriend of a teammate. It’s there that she makes friends with Veronica Woodley, the extremely annoying, arrogant, money-hungry divorcee who I don’t want anywhere near my sister.
Janelle insists I’m completely wrong about Veronica, but I refuse to accept that. I have to keep reminding myself that that the gorgeous blond with legs for days is off limits.
Through a series of events, I start to see Veronica for what she really is—an amazing woman who has survived her own hell to come out even stronger.
I have to admit, we’re more alike than not and the attraction between us burns hot.
Maybe I was all wrong about my ability to love and commit, but when the past comes back to haunt me, can I be the man that Veronica, and Janelle, deserve?
🎧 Audible (narrated by Connor Crais and Savannah Peachwood):
Hard to believe this is already book 11 in this series. It is one of the best hockey series out there. This is about Riggs and Veronica who we have seen in previous books.
Riggs has been an outlier with the team. Keeps to himself and doesn't give much more than the team requires of his. His little sister is for sure off limits for conversation. I have been waiting to get his story for awhile now. Veronica is Clarke's best friend and works at her books store. Real vivacious and fun to talk to. Getting his sister a job at the bookstore is what brings Riggs in contact with Veronica. On the surface, they are not a match for me.
The both have baggage and trust issues in common. Riggs is just so growly for most of the first half of the book. I don't see what the draw is at all with him. They are definitely enemies with the common bond of caring for Rigg's sister Janelle. They agree to a hook up and then all of a sudden they are meaning more to each other. I didn't get the woo woo vibes until the end. Maybe it was just me. The two of them just didn't seem like they were working on a relationship so much as a good time.
So, not a favorite of the series for me but hands down, this whole series is one of the best I have read. It moves the story line forward. I am both looking forward and dreading Baden's book next. Man, that sneak peek was torture!
