Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak welcomes you to Silver Springs, a picturesque small town in Southern California where even the hardest hearts can learn to love again…
Struggling to make ends meet after a messy divorce, Sadie Harris is at the end of her tether. Her waitressing gig isn't enough to pay the bills let alone secure primary custody of her son, Jayden, a battle she refuses to lose. Desperate, she accepts a position assisting Dawson Reed—the same Dawson Reed who recently stood trial for the murder of his adoptive parents. Joining him at his isolated farm seems risky, but Sadie is out of options.
Dawson has given small town Silver Springs plenty of reasons to be wary, but he's innocent of the charges against him. He wants to leave his painful past behind and fix up the family farm so he can finally bring his dependent sister home where she belongs.
As Sadie and Dawson's professional relationship grows into something undeniably personal, Sadie realizes there's more to Dawson than the bad boy everyone else sees—he has a good heart, one that might even be worth fighting for.
Customer Reviews
A missed opportunity
This is not a bad book- it’s decently written and the characters are pretty well developed- but I just couldn’t get into in. I felt like the author missed all the highs and intense moments a romance with a crazy ex-husband/ crooked cop and an axe murder should have. At no point was I on edge or did I feel like a couldn’t put the book down. Also I felt like Sadie should have been WAY more bitter in the end about the police. Her easy acceptance and trust in the police force that literally said they won’t help if she was being attacked by an axe murderer seemed a little too far fetch. Also the romance it’s self was nothing worth dwelling on- it’s happened way to fast to be lasting and at no point was I like “wow they really love each other.” It’s was just that they where both really broken (another part that I feel the author missed expanding on) and super lonely so they held on to each other. I say it was an all around missed opportunity.
