The New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men series delivers a romance about a rugged Texas sheriff who must protect the woman who was once his sworn enemy…
Case Lawton comes from a family of criminals. So as the sheriff of Loveless, Texas, he’s determined to do everything by the book–until he’s called to Aspen Barlow’s office after a so-called break-in. The last thing he wants to do is help the woman who cost him custody of his son. But Aspen isn’t the heartless lawyer Case remembers, and he starts to question his long-held grudge…
Aspen is scared for her life, and Case is her last hope for protection. But to get him on her side, she’ll have to reveal the painful truth from all those years ago. Now, as they work together to track down a dangerous criminal, Case and Aspen learn to trust each other. And as the threats escalate, it becomes clear there’s a thin line between love and hate… because there’s nothing Case wouldn’t do to keep her safe.

I love a good “enemies to lovers” story and this one definitely hit the right spot. It has been a long time since I have read anything by this author, I believe “Charged” was the last book. I don’t have a specific reason as to why, but I do know that I will be checking out every book in this series 😉
I also really liked the side-characters in this book, and since some play a part in a previous series, I will have to check those out as well. So looks like I’m gonna be busy.
Aspen and Case have known each other since high school. He was de sweet, yet popular jock and she was the new kid…the weird girl. Despite their differences Case was always kind to her and she never forgot.
But people grow up and life doesn’t always turn out as expected and when Case’s wife wants a divorce and custody of their child…Aspen is the lawyer that represents her…and wins the case. This pretty much cements the future (hateful) relationship between Case and Aspen…
Things aren’t always as they seem though and these two are about to find out….especially Case.
When Aspen is the victim of vandalism and violence, Case has no choice but to get up close and personal with his nemesis. He is the town sheriff after all, and not wanting to be like his corrupt dad…he will have to do his job, even if he hates the victim.
But nobody probably told him that love and hate are only separated by a very fine line…
….Don’t worry, he is about to find out himself.
I really enjoyed reading this story but I have to admit that the ending threw me a bit. I have read other reviews of people who feel the same way, so I know it isn’t just me. This book is already pretty heavy on the drama and I think that last bit was just a bit too much, at least for me. That said, it was still very good.
I’m really looking forward to the next story…I hope it will be Kody’s 😉
