Release Day 5 Star Review: Indigo Ridge (The Edens #1) by Devney Perry

 

Indigo Ridge by Devney Perry is now live!

Winslow Covington believes in life, liberty and the letter of the law. As Quincy, Montana's new chief of police, she's determined to prove herself to the community and show them she didn't earn her position because her grandfather is the mayor.

According to her pops, all she has to do is earn favor with the Edens. But winning over the town's founding family might have been easier if not for her one-night stand with their oldest son. In her defense, it was her first night in town and she didn't realize that the rugged and charming man who wooed her into bed was Quincy royalty.

Sleeping with Griffin Eden was a huge mistake, one she's trying to forget. He's insufferable, arrogant and keeps reminding everyone that she's an outsider. Winslow does her best to avoid Griffin, but when a woman is found dead on Eden property, the two of them have no choice but to cross paths.

As clues to the murderer lead to one of Quincy's own, Griffin realizes Winslow is more than he gave her credit for. Beautiful and intelligent, she proves hard to resist. For him. And the killer.

 What I thought about Indigo Ridge

I have to start by saying that I adore the covers for this series!  They are fabulous and made me want to read this book immediately!  And the best part is that Indigo Ridge was worth every moment of my reading time.  I absolutely loved this story, the Edens and I can't wait for more.

 From the opening pages of Winslow and Griffin meeting in the local bar to the closing pages, I was enthralled with this story.  It was one of those books I couldn't wait to pick back up as soon as I had a free moment.  I really felt this world and wanted to stay in it.

There's a terrific romance happening here along side the story of Winslow, the new police chief who follows her intuition that there is something more to the case. She pursues it in spite of everyone telling her to let it go.  I love a strong heroine and Winslow was really a lovely character.  As for the romance, it's hot, steamy and I appreciated that they both accepted their feelings for each other, even though they didn't want to at first.

It's been quite a while since I've read a book that keeps me up until the wee hours of the morning reading. I think that's the highest praise I can give a book. Indigo Ridge did that for me, and I'm really looking forward to more in this series.

Release Day Review: Riggs (Arizona Vengeance, Book #11) by Sawyer Bennett

Riggs (Arizona Vengeance, Book #11)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: October 26, 2021

 

 

Synopsis:

Known as the team loner, Riggs Nadeau gives his all on the ice, but nothing extra off it. A beautiful stranger is about to cause chaos in his very structured world.
 

As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life. On the surface, I do. But they don’t know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my seventeen-year-old sister, Janelle. And that’s exactly the way I like it. They may think I’m a prick because I don’t like to share, but that’s fine. They don’t know me, and they don’t need to. 

In an effort to help Janelle get settled in Phoenix and stay out of trouble at school, I set her up with a job at Clarke’s Corner, the local bookstore owned by the girlfriend of a teammate. It’s there that she makes friends with Veronica Woodley, the extremely annoying, arrogant, money-hungry divorcee who I don’t want anywhere near my sister. Janelle insists I’m completely wrong about Veronica, but I refuse to accept that. I have to keep reminding myself that that the gorgeous blond with legs for days is off limits.
 

Through a series of events, I start to see Veronica for what she really is—an amazing woman who has survived her own hell to come out even stronger. I have to admit, we’re more alike than not and the attraction between us burns hot.
 

Maybe I was all wrong about my ability to love and commit, but when the past comes back to haunt me, can I be the man that Veronica, and Janelle, deserve?

 What I thought about Riggs

Riggs is the latest edition (11th) to the Arizona Vengeance hockey romance series. This is the type of book I like to read when I'm between books -- I know it will be a quick, easy read and a satisfying romantic story. Riggs definitely fits the mold.

 
Being new to the Vengeance, Riggs is having a bit of trouble meshing with his new team. He hasn't been forthcoming about why his teenage sister is living with him, and he doesn't exactly want to socialize with the team, preferring to keep his personal life private (and for good reason).
 

And then there's Veronica. She gets under his skin in a major way. It starts off as enemies and then turns into something with a whole lot more steam to it! I liked these two as a couple and thought they complemented each well.
 

So no huge surprises here, and there lots of setup stuff for future books happening in the final pages. This works well as a standalone too -- you don't need to read the other books in the series to enjoy the story.

England is burning.

And the cause…men are too afraid to utter in nothing but a whisper.

The Northmen.

My father is King Eanred.

And me?

I am Princess Emeline.

My father wants to protect our kingdom against the ruthless Vikings who continue to raid England, so he has betrothed me to Aethelwulf, the son of King Egbert of Wessex—the most powerful realm in all of England. Without this union, Northumbria will fall, which is why I must submit. I must do this for my people.

However, it is not in my nature to surrender. So when my father captures the most savage Viking known in our land, I do what no good, God-fearing Christian would do—I help him.

His name…Skarth the Godless.

People fear what they don’t understand, but I will not allow that to control me. Fear makes us blind to the truth, and I refuse to cower because Skarth soon becomes my teacher—in all things. And when his rival, Ulf the Bloody, shatters my world, it becomes clear the lessons have only just begun.

My soul is tarnished.

I am a sinner.

Lord, hear my prayer…
