Garrett Haven was following up on a call about a suspicious car in the middle of the woods. There were definitely tire tracks leading up the trail where no car had reason to belong.
The abandoned car was full of food wrappers and several backpacks full of stolen merchandise and wallets. But looking through the items left in the car he had a pretty good idea who he was looking for and texted his blind date to let her know he would be late.
A date that he had been tricked into by his Aunt Louise who was a self-proclaimed matchmaker although she had nothing to do with his two brother's recent marriages. He finally broke down and agreed to a date.
Harper Tilburn was at the Timberbeast Tavern waiting for her date. A date who never showed. She knew she shouldn't have agreed to meet him. She had arrived in Tillikum to help her Aunt Doris with her bakery and thought it would be a great way to meet new people when her aunt's friend Louise said they would be perfect together.
She should have known that her bad luck streak wasn't done with her. She only had a few months left to her 7-year curse from breaking her grandmother's heirloom mirror and with taking over the bakery it was really good luck he hadn't shown. She didn't have time for a relationship.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This story can be read as a standalone, but you really need to start from book 1 to get the full Haven experience. But REALLY you need to start with the Bailey Brothers series because they begin the Tillikum smalltown romances and you can't miss the generations feud between the Baileys and the Havens.
Garrett is the stoic brother. The follow the book detective. Boy does he throw that book out the window when he sets his eyes on Harper. This book is action-packed and full of suspense as Garrett tries to solve a decade old murder case. Especially when things are leading him to believe the murderer is still in Tillikum and is focused on Harper.
I listened to this story narrated by Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro who both did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. Jason has a commanding voice that gives you no hesitation believing him to be a cop in control of everything around him. Rose was a perfect Harper and you could feel all the excitement, anxiety and fear throughout.
This small town romantic suspense has a surprising twist. Highly recommend.
