This is a new author for me and I really enjoyed it. It was different as the publisher is Boom Factory, which is run but Aurora Rose Reynolds who I Love but who typically publishes insta love stories. This is a story about some very bad men, mafia sorta in a small town and the female lead, Phoebe wrote an expose on some of their dealings as she is a reporter. They then put a hit out on her. Huxley, a PI in her small town and they dont really know each other. But he wants to try and save her and so they start to work together to get the bad men to leave her alone and he tries to protect her.

It was a fun story with lots of drama and these two make an awesome team. I especially loved Phoebe's best friend and her brother and hope to see them in future stories.

I enjoyed the main romantic suspense story, but there were some side stories that seemed to set up future sequels including one with Huxley's sister. I don't understand how the heroine could easily figure out the father of the sister when her family was around the father a lot and should have seen the same signs.

This book was my intro to this author & i have to say, i’ll definitely be reading more from her! this story was swooooony & hux was the perfect blend of protector alpha male that i enjoy reading. one thing that threw me was his POV in this book, it was written in third person when Phoebe’s was written in first. Overall though, this was a good read!
