Think I found a new genre to explore. Romantic suspense, who knew….I really enjoyed this book. The suspense aspect of it was really intriguing, and the romance was so sweet.

The story starts off with our main character, Dez, trying to steal back her mother’s car, the car that should have been hers after her mother’s death.

But she’s discovered before she has a chance to drive off with the car. She expects to be put in jail. Instead, she finds connections to her mother’s past. But, some connections from her mother’s past wish to cause her harm, and she’s in real danger.

Enter the romance. Dez meets the local tavern owner, William. After all, it’s his car she’s trying to steal. She’s attracted to him, but very untrusting due to her past. He seems like the last good guy on earth….or is he too good to be true. William, however, has fallen hard for Dez.

You’ll enjoy this if you like:

🚘 Slow burn romance,
🚘 Found family,
🚘 Cozy vibes (a bit darker than most cozies, but it still had cozy vibes),
🚘 Suspense, and
🚘 Nice, easy reads.
