What I thought about Murder at Sunset Rock
Olivia Ballard left home years ago and hasn't returned because it's too hard to see her ex-- the deputy detective Huck Monroe.Huck broke her heart years ago by walking away without an explanation.
Huck is one of those alpha males who is very hard on himself. He left Olivia years ago for good reason, or so he thought, and now he just really glad to see her again. There's a nice spark between these two characters from the start.
Olivia and Huck become embroiled in solving the murder of Olivia's grandfather, and it turns out that it something to do with Olivia. I really liked the second half of the book where the murder mystery takes center stage. The spark between Olivia and Huck dims and brightens but since this is romance, you know how it's going to end!
Murder at Sunset Rock is a suspenseful romantic story. I thought it was a bit slow at the start, but I become more interested in the characters and what was going on as the action increased in the second half. I found it easy to read and just the right size for an few evenings. I will be looking more from the Lookout Mountain Mysteries series.
