Contemporary Western Romance
What Goodreads says:
Delores
Fossen kicks off her new series, Sweetwater Ranch, with a Texas lawman, a
beautiful district attorney and the child they'll risk everything to protect
Saving a
little boy's life reopens painful wounds for Texas sheriff Cooper McKinnon.
This could be his son, whose loss has haunted him for two years. But Cooper has
a formidable adversary in Jessa Wells. She's the adoptive mother and she'll do
anything to hold on to Liam
It's cruel justice that the man who
shares Liam's rare blood type has an unsolved murder in his own family. And the
danger's far from over. Fighting her desire for Cooper, Jessa has no choice but
to join forces with the maverick cowboy. Jessa knows working together is their
best shot at keeping the child safe. But it's the possibility of a future alone
that breaks Jessa's heart.
I have to admit that when I picked
up Maverick Sheriff it was a case of mistaken identity. The Maverick in the title fooled
me. I though it was part of the
Montana Mavericks series. Imagine
my surprise when I found out it was book one in a new series set on Sweetwater
Ranch in Texas. Any disappoint
disappeared by the time I was on page 2. Maverick Sheriff is a tightly written book that caught me from the beginning.
Maverick Sheriff is full of tension and danger and is a very
good fit for the Intrigue line from Harlequin. There are several mysteries introduced in the book but the
main one involves two-year-old Liam.
His rare blood type starts a series of events that cause Cooper McKinnon
and Jessa Wells to work with one another.
As the danger to both Liam and Jessa intensifies the attraction they
feel for one another as grows.
This was a great mystery as well as a good romance. Maverick Sheriff is filled with unique
characters who add to the danger. While
one mystery is solved another is just touched on. It will be interesting to see who is featured in the next
book and what will be revealed about the murder from years ago.
Harlequin published Maverick Sheriff by Delores Fossen in
2014.
I received an ARC of Maverick Sheriff from Netgalley in
return for an honest review.
