Series:
Cowboy State Lawmen: Duty and Honor (Book 4)
For as long as he could remember,
She was his North Star
With adjacent ranches, Monty Powell and Amber Reyes were
always together. First as childhood friends and later as…more. Much more. But a
family legacy and a bigger secret kept them apart. Until a killer strikes and
casts suspicions on Monty. Revenge or reckoning, someone is out for blood.
Monty and Amber now set out to find evidence to expose a deeper criminal plot
before gunfire erupts again and threatens the new family of three they are
about to become.
This was a fast-paced, action-packed story with intense
suspense and a second-chance romance. Growing up on neighboring ranches, Monty
and Amber's childhood friendship grew into more when they got older. While
Amber was in love with Monty, he was more interested in following his own path.
Family interference and a big secret drove them apart until Amber's father's
death when manipulation from beyond the grave brings them together again.
The book opens with a bang as Amber stumbles onto a
murder scene where Monty is the prime suspect. She may have trust issues with
him, but Amber knows he isn't capable of murder. It is soon evident that someone has
it in for Monty and the entire Powell family. The twists and escalating attacks
kept me glued to the pages as the intensity built. The final confrontation was
a heart-pounding nail-biter with Amber in extreme danger.
I loved watching Monty and Amber navigate through their
relationship. Because of their past, Amber is reluctant to trust him with her
heart again. This puts her late father's demands on shaky ground, risking both
ranch properties. She also has a big secret she is keeping from him that will
change their future. Monty freely admits his past mistakes and insists he's
learned his lesson. He wants a chance to make things right. I liked that they
took the time to discuss the past and hopes for the future, ensuring they were
on the same page.
I liked seeing characters from earlier books and catching
up with their lives. I'm looking forward to more stories about the Powells and
their connections.
