Returning home was just the beginning, but staying…might be her end.
After uncovering a devastating secret, Casey McKay left her beloved home town and pretended not to look back. For years, the truth her sisters hid from her has kept her away. Now, in desperate need of Casey’s help, her sisters have hired a PI to find her.
As a private investigator, Ryan Keller is used to getting into sticky situations, but nothing could have prepared him for the likes of Ms. McKay. Unable to resist her appeal for help, Ryan returns with her to Blue Creek. Little do they know they are walking right into a deadly plot to destroy the McKay sisters.
The closer they get to the truth, the harder it is for them to resist temptation. But succumbing to their desires puts Ryan in the crosshairs of a vengeful foe. To save them, Casey must face her past and the secrets that have shaped her.

Review

I was ecstatic to see book two of this series, and definitely couldn't pass up the chance to review this. I loved her characters from the first book, and I love this chance to revisit them again, even if the kids are now all grown up.

Ryan is a lovable hero--absolutely love the way he was dragged back to Blue Creek by Casey, although it seems a tad improbably in real life. And I feel for Casey, for what she has suffered and will face when she goes back home. These characters worm their way into your heart, making it impossible not to root for their HEA.

The plot was a wonderful mix of suspense and romance, and I was on the edge of my seat, wondering what's going to happen next. Ms. Brooks kept me guessing and I love that!

I really enjoyed reading this book a lot, and I can't wait for the next one in the series! Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
