When a cold case in Texas leads to a sinister string of disappearances, a newcomer to the small town helps the deputy sheriff to piece together the clues in this new romantic thriller from New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin. Corporate lawyer Ava Burch has had enough of the big city and daily grind. She grew up with her father, who raised search-and-rescue dogs, in rural Texas, and has moved to the small town of Cuervo to spend time in the dry, rugged wilderness near Big Bend National Park. When she and her dog Huck discover an abandoned campsite on a volunteer search-and-rescue mission, she's perplexed but she carefully photographs it all the same. All Deputy Sheriff Grant Wycoff can see when he looks at Ava is a city slicker--with her designer jeans and expensive car-- who has no business on a serious team made of seasoned outdoorsmen and retired cops. But when she tells him of her discovery on the trail, he sees there's more to her than meets the eye. Ava's discovery reminds Grant of the unsolved case of a young woman who went missing two years ago. As they look into the campsite further, another woman disappears under odd circumstances. With time running out, Ava and Grant must work against the brutal heat from both the Texas sun and their own electric chemistry to solve the case.
This is a Romantic Suspense. I loved the characters and this story so much, and I did not want to put this book down at all. This book is fast paced and full of suspense/action. I think this book is a wonderful mix of suspense/action and romance which I really enjoy in a romantic suspense. I also loved the setting in this book, and I think it worked great with the storyline. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
