BLURB:
He’s hunting a killer so she won’t be next.
Single dad Garrett Haven doesn’t have time for dating. With a teenage son and a high-stakes job in law enforcement, he has enough on his plate.
Besides, he risked his heart once. He has no intention of doing it again.
Until he meets her.
Harper Tilburn brought her passion for baking to the small town of Tilikum to take over her aunt’s bakery. Anything else will have to wait, at least until her bad luck curse runs out.
Her dating hiatus is essential, and she’s sticking to it.
Until she meets him.
The sparks that fly between Garrett and Harper are instantaneous—their attraction undeniable. And suddenly, the practical, responsible sheriff’s deputy is throwing caution to the wind, boldly pursuing Harper, determined to make her his.
But when the cold case Garrett is investigating takes a chilling turn, he fears the perpetrator will strike again—and Harper will be his target.
With his career—and his life—on the line, he’ll sacrifice everything to protect the people he loves, and catch a killer before it’s too late.
Author’s note: a buttoned-up sheriff’s deputy gets thoroughly unbuttoned by a sweet as sugar baker. A hero who falls hard and fast, a heroine you’ll root for, a teenage son who will steal your heart, page turning suspense with a shocking twist, and heartwarming found family vibes with a big HEA.
Temptation Trails can be read as a stand-alone.
MY REVIEW:
DISCLAIMER: I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I was not expecting the absolute brilliance that was Temptation Trails! I thought I knew where this story was going, but Claire managed to surprise me more than once!
I loved this story! I loved Harper! I loved Garrett! Owen stole my heart! I absolutely cannot wait to find out who the next Haven brother is! I am looking forward to the game that Claire plays with her readers in making us guess who the next Haven brother is that will be bitten by the love bug! Three brothers down, three brothers left. And who will be their lady love? Have we met her before? And what about the mystery - what will Claire think up next? I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait!
Thank you Claire for writing such a wonderful story, and for providing me with an advance copy of the book!
