I’m in love with this story and these characters. After finishing this book, I immediately went to amazon to one-click the rest of this series. I’ve been eyeing this series for months, and I honestly don’t know why it took me this long to finally get to it. Why has it taken me this long to read this series? Why? I read Jordan’s historical The Scandal of It All and became an instant fan. Not girls who woke in the middle of the night from nightmares because the past could never release its grip. Men like him went for the good girls of the world who went to college and took yoga classes and were raised by loving parents. The infuriating troublemaker clearly has no respect for his badge.Īs she continues to push his buttons, it becomes clear to Hale that he must either arrest Piper-or claim her as his own. Piper has nothing in common with the town golden-boy-turned-lawman-and she refuses to be a notch on his bedpost.ĭespite rumors, Hale avoids fooling around with the women of Sweet Hill, many of whom are hoping to get him to the altar.īut staying out of Piper’s path is proving near impossible. So she isn’t surprised that when she comes into contact with Sweet Hill’s wildly irresistible, arrogant sheriff, Hale Walters, they’re instant adversaries. It doesn’t seem to matter that she’s worked hard to build a good life for herself. (Jan.From the wrong side of the tracks and with most of her family in jail or dead, Piper Walsh is used to everyone in town thinking the worst about her. A twist here and turn there make this heady tale very fulfilling. Piper’s dedication to her family balances out her rough edges.
Heat-loving readers will enjoy Hale’s naughty, sexy side he’s a welcome reprieve from the usual tightly wound and inhibited sheriff character.
Despite Piper’s protests, he continues to find ways to assist her and her younger sister (of whom Piper is the legal guardian), and the constant interactions make it difficult for him and Piper to stay on opposite sides of the line they’ve drawn. Once he realizes his initial impression of her was wrong and his attraction to Piper intensifies, he reluctantly invokes his rule against dating women in his jurisdiction. Steely Sheriff Hale Walters is familiar with the Walsh family, but he doesn’t let that-or the ice water Piper dumps in his lap-cloud his judgment regarding the young woman. Tenacious Piper’s parents were famously terrible, so she doesn’t expect the last name Walsh to get her anything in Sweet Hill but bad looks, false rumors, and a whole lot of trouble. Jordan’s thoroughly enjoyable fourth Devil’s Rock contemporary (after All Chained Up) brings family drama to the tiny town of Sweet Hill, Tex.
