Book Synopsis:
Is Theo Colton the father of a baby dropped at his doorstep by a dying socialite? Even more shocked than the sexy bronc-riding champ is his beautiful cook, Ellie Parker.Just as she becomes the baby's nanny, she discovers a terrifying stalker has followed her to Dead River.

What's worse--as a mysterious virus quarantines the town, danger goes viral, too. But to Theo and Ellie, the biggest dangers are their sizzling attraction and profound new feelings. Can Ellie tame a cowboy who wants nothing more than a wild ride with women? Or must she deny her heart to save his life?

So what did I think? 4 stars

Like: The beginning.
Dislike: The stalkers identity reveal. Too many loose ends.

Would I recommend it?

Yes, I would recommend this book. Is it a must read? No, but it's entertaining and I enjoyed it, I might even read more of the books in this series!

I really like how this book started, most books take the first few chapters to give a backstory and prepare the reader for upcoming events, but this book really just jumped right in with the action.

Honestly I was disappointed in who Ellie's stalker turned out to be, I had a few theories and I wish it would have been one of those instead. I also wish the scene where she discovers who her stalker is would have been longer, I would have liked to have seen him explain a bit more.

I also would have liked to have seen a few of the loose ends tied up, I know this is supposed to be a part of a series, but I would have at least liked an update on Theo's grandma. It's like she was a big part of the first half of the book and then for the last part she wasn't even mentioned.

Overall, I really liked the book, and if you like drama, action, romance, and suspense then this is the book for you! There are a few love scenes, but nothing too graphic, and they don't take up a huge part of the book.

Thank you Harlequin via Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for an honest review!
Will you be buying this book? Let me know below!
