Were you hooked by that book? Let me know in the comments below. See what other readers are saying on Goodreads. Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy. (You’ll have to read it to appreciate it fully.) All the name calling had me chuckling out loud, like Hot Hagrid and Sheriff Square Pants. Overall, I enjoyed the writing style and the story. The plot flowed well and the council proceedings at the end were super tense with all the shocking revelations coming one after the other. The best part about Fox and Cady’s relationship was how they accepted each other and never tried to change anything about the other person. I also liked Ethan a lot, and I feel that Cady didn’t always treat him so well. She cared with all her heart, but she was maybe a bit too quick to forgive. All you could tell about him was that he had severe PTSD, he was a recluse, and Cady seemed to be the only thing that could draw him out.Ĭady was a wonderful character, very genuine and without artifice. Despite her protestations, the owner of the bar prostitutes her to the Duke of Trenwyth, Collin Talmage, for a large sum. He remained a mystery for most of the story. On the other hand, we knew exactly who and what Cady was at this point, but Fox? Not at all. That made it harder to pinpoint his character and personality.

The way he was described was somewhat confusing at times. It was difficult to figure Fox out at the beginning. Fox was content to keep Cady confined to a phone fantasy, but he couldn’t help himself getting involved when mysterious things started to happen at the bookstore. Meanwhile, she was sort of dating the sheriff, dealing with chronic pain, and trying to keep the building her aunt had left her. Kerrigan Byrne is the USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author of several novels in both the romance and mystery genre. His sexy voice made her dream of all kinds of impossible things. The highlight of Cady’s week was her Thursday evening phone calls with a man she only knew as Fox. Cady and Fox each dealt with their own kind of pain and found the perfect level of comfort with each other. ⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Mostly, yes.
