Series:
Cowboy State Lawmen: Duty and Honor (Book 6)
She was looking for evidence
What she found was him
Logan Powell never expected to see Summer Stratton again.
He definitely hadn't imagined a reunion under fire. After he scares off an
intruder who seemed bent on killing her, Logan's instincts -- as a cop and as a
cowboy -- demand that he keep her safe. But the persistent lawyer won't stop
asking questions about her best friend's death, which means that protecting
Summer involves helping her find a murderer. The threats against their lives
seem to come from every direction… And Summer's grit and courage prove as
irresistible to Logan as her undeniable beauty.
Terrific conclusion to the series. The story opens with a
bang as Summer searches for proof that her best friend did not die in an
accident. Summer believes Dani was murdered because they were investigating a
link between suspicious deaths and pollution caused by a local company. While
searching Dani's house, an intruder fires shots at Summer before Logan's
arrival scares him off.
Logan is Dani's cousin, and his uncle sent him to assist
Summer. As Wyoming law enforcement, Logan initially is skeptical of Summer's
claims that Dani's death was murder. However, subsequent attacks soon convince
him.
The story's suspense was fantastic. It hooked me from the
first page and kept me hooked to the end. As Summer and Logan delved deeper
into their investigation, the intensity of the attacks increased along with the
number of suspects. The snake scene had me on the edge of my seat until it was
over. Several twists kept me guessing to the end, with an unexpected final
revelation.
I liked Summer and Logan. Summer is focused and driven by
her quest for the truth. She can be impulsive, which sometimes gets her in
trouble. Logan is the Powell brother who is a little out of step with his
siblings. While he grew up on their ranch, he doesn't consider himself a
rancher.
I enjoyed the development of their relationship. They met
a few years earlier and connected, but nothing came of it. When Logan's uncle
asked him to help Summer, he jumped at the chance to see her again. Though
their reunion got off to a rough start, there was no denying the sparks between
them. But Summer is wary of forming a long-distance relationship with someone
and insists on "friends only." I ached for Logan, who wants more but
accedes to her wishes and backs off but doesn't give up. I loved the ending and
seeing how they worked it out.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the author has next.
