And as the threats escalate, it becomes clear there's a thin line between love and hate... because there's nothing Case wouldn't do to keep her safe
ARC received for an honest review
I am a bit of a sucker for a story with a Sheriff - must me something to do with the handcuffs lol.
Throw in a feisty woman who is a great big pain in his ar$e, and you got me drawn right in.
This is the first full length story in the Loveless, Texas series, and what a great start to this new series.
I both loved and hated our leading man Case at times. What a judgemental, prig of a man he was at times. I could understand his frustration at Aspen, but man the way he went about things, I wanted to throw my kindle at his head for being an asshat hahah
So much is going on in Aspen's life, and I just wanted time for her to breathe! I was exhausted just reading about it.
There's a bit of a whodunnit through this story, and I was surprised when I found out what was going on.
I am looking forward to more of the Loveless, Texas series.
