Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of the Rock Chick series comes a story of love, murder, and second chances....

When small-town Nebraska sheriff Hixon Drake meets Greta Dare, the connection couldn't be stronger, but the timing couldn't be worse.

Dealing with the fallout of a divorce he never wanted and setting up a new home for his kids, Hix becomes that guy, that one he never wanted to be, and puts a stop to things before they can even start. Protecting his kids and himself is his only priority.

Greta, on the other hand, has found the place for her and the brother she adores that's perfect for them - a sleepy little town in Nebraska. She's learned from life that there are no hopes and dreams. The only thing to look forward to is peace. And that's what she works hard to build for herself and her brother. Right up until Hix walks into her life.

Hix can't fight the pull and stay away from Greta for long. And Greta's finding it hard not to hope for something more with all the promise that is Hix.

But when the first murder that's happened in over five decades rocks his small, sleepy county, Hix has got to learn to trust again, convince Greta to take a shot with him, and at the same time catch a killer.

In other words, things are definitely...Complicated.

Definitely complicated!

Right person, wrong time, and it goes from there! Hickson and Greta were definitely electric together, but some serious missteps on the onset threatened to derail what was building. That took time, patience, and understanding, on both their parts, to overcome. But what they built while doing that was simply magical <3

Very good but wordy

I enjoyed listening to this book however many useless comments that have no impact to the story and could have easily been left out. Still love it and would recommend it to others. Not a huge fan of hearing details around anal, what’s the point?

Story was great but too much crassness.

I stuck with it as the story was interesting but it was overwritten overly descriptive and over acted by the narrators. Tender moments were overshadowed by crude and vulgar language that wasn’t necessary. The story would have been beautiful if it had been less wordy and less vulgar.

Another Great KA Romance!

Kristen Ashley didn’t disappoint! Fell in love with sheriff Hixon Drake from the start! I loved the chemistry between Greta and Hixon, as well as the the secondary characters. There was also enough angst, grovel, romance, action, and drama in this book.
I’m a huge fan of Lance Greenfield and his performance of the hero just made me love him more! This audible is a must listen! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure. #audible1

Disappointing

I could not finish listening to it. The story was just too melodramatic. I tried.

Not worth the money...

Thankfully I got this book on a 2 for one sale. I'm glad I did not pay full price. There is no character development but a lot of the author's character is revealed...
The female narrator aways sounded frustrated and harried .
I would not recommend this book.

Agonizing read

This book should be listed as soft pornography !
Poorly written and sex scenes were not needed to move the story along ! I could not finish this drivel!
