Review
In book 1 in The Rolling Brook series, lawyer Blair O’Rourke needs time away after a bad break-up with her boyfriend, so she leaves Chicago for the countryside. Then someone tries to run her down with a car. Luckily for her, a sexy farmer comes to her rescue.
Jake Redland is smitten with Blair, despite his failed long-term relationship with another city gal. Blair is the last type of woman he should go. That doesn’t stop him from wanting to help her, especially since her trouble seems to have something to do with the land developer who wants his homestead. With their problems intertwined, they’ll have to work together alongside his cop brother to solve the mystery and somehow stay alive.
I listened to the audio and enjoyed it. The story only takes place during a couple of days, so Blair and Jake fell hard and fast. The H/h had great chemistry and respect for each other. I’d give this book 3 flames for the heat rating, which was a nice break from the usual hotter stories that I read.
Leah Carr did an excellent job with the narration. She imbued excitement, danger, and sensuality with her voice and brought the characters to life.
Readers who love a good suspense romance should give this book a try.
