I was excited to get Deck's story. He's been a mystery for a few books now. We've wondered what he does for a living. He's kind of an on-the-down-low, contract P.I. He's contracted by multiple police departments to help solve a case in Gnaw Bone where a man named Dane may be the leader, a man that he met on the street only minutes before. And the woman on his arm was the best friend of his long-term girlfriend now ex that he hasn't seen in nine years. But Emme doesn't look the same. She's now beautiful and stylish but she's still the funny and sweet girl he used to be friends with. He decides right then he wants her back in his life and in his bed. But being part of the case may complicate things. This is all chapter one stuff so this has gotta be good right? Not really.From there we get the Kristen Ashley banter and alpha bossiness but the story fell kind of flat. She gave us a scene with all the Colorado Mountain men in one place and that made for a smokin' hot visual and the story behind the kaleidoscope was very sweet. As a matter of fact everything was sweet, there wasn't much conflict. Deck wasn't as mysterious as I thought and Emme was pretty agreeable to Deck's demands. The case was interesting but then it just fizzled at the end. We didn't get many details. I thought Jagged was good but other than that Ashley's traditionally published books have not been my favorites. Last year I thought Broken Dove was one of her best ever. I love Kristen Ashley, she'll never lose me as a reader but I thought this book was just okay.
