This small-town sheriff has big-city secrets
As a detective in New York, Jacob Marx had been deep under cover in a drug cartel…until a bust went terribly wrong. Now posing as a good guy is proving even tougher. Since the force sent him to Brookhollow to lie low as a deputy sheriff, he's been struggling to stay detached from the townspeople. Especially Heather, the gorgeous, high-heeled bartender at the local pool hall who asks too many questions. Tempted as he is, he can't allow himself to connect with her or anyone else. His career and safety are at stake. Of course, a little flirting couldn't hurt… Could it?
Another FANTASTIC book!
I am absolutely in love with this series. Each book is a stand-alone, and I do have my favorites, but the series just keeps getting better and better!
I was pulled in from the beginning. Jake was protecting a secret that I just HAD to know. And, boy, it was some secret! Little bits and pieces kept being revealed as the story went on. It's like solving a puzzle inside of an awesome romance. I loved it!
Heather was just so fun to read. She has a fun sense of humor and just tries to keep it real...which Jake found rather attractive, which made me like Jake even more.
I enjoyed reading his reactions and transformation to small-town life. Jake's inner thoughts were VERY entertaining!
All the while, I got to catch up with characters from other books in the series, and it was kinda like visiting with old friends. I loved that!!!
All in all, LOVED IT! I am a HUGE fan of Jennifer Snow books, and I will continue reading anything she writes!

“Well, there you go. Longest eight-minute ride of your life,” Jacob said.
Heather unbuckled her seat belt and faced him. “Aren’t you going to stay to help decorate the tree and see the lighting?”
He really had nowhere else to be. Technically, he was on duty. And technically, this was his important assignment today. “I guess I could stay for a bit.” He shut off the car and reached for his gloves in the backseat, just as she went to grab hers.
Their heads butted and she jumped back. “Ow.”
He laughed. “Sorry. You stay there. I’ll get the gloves.”
Instead of handing hers over, he held one open for her.
She sent him a funny look as she slid her hand into the soft cashmere, then she held her other hand up for the second. “I’ll pretend that wasn’t totally awkward,” she said as she opened the door.
He touched her arm, stopping her.
She turned back in surprise. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just want to say thank you...for making the effort.” He wasn’t exactly making it easy for people in town to get to know him, and she could have continued ignoring him like everyone else.
“No problem...but I’m going to be gone soon, so you’ll have to step up if you want people around here to accept you.”
And what if he only wanted acceptance from the one person who was leaving soon? Then what?
