**A gifted copy was received by the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review**When Jennifer Stewart's husband of 20 years passes away, and her 20 year old daughter is off at college, Jennifer decides to live out her dream and move to the mountains of Colorado to start a new life.  As a newspaper entertainment reporter, she is living out her dream.That is until.... the murder of two woman in the area captures her attention, and those of the people in her inner circle.Sheriff Jack Gunnison is chasing a murderer, when the killer turns it personal, Jack is trying to solve the case, but Jennifer keeps standing in his way.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This book was super appealing to me, as I love a good "who done it", combined with a hot and steamy romance.There were a lot of parts of this book that I really enjoyed.  The storyline of the mystery part I found to be the only reason I kept reading, and the way it all played out was captured well.I really disliked Jack from the start. I get that he is an alpha male and all, but he really just came off as a huge douche.  The manner in which he would talk to and control Jennifer, I found to be rather unsettling. His cocky, self centered persona could have been scaled back a little in my opinion.I liked Jennifer, and for the most part she was written as a strong, intelligent woman, I would have loved to have seen her stand up to Jack more, and not roll over to his ever command.  At times Jennifer came off sounding immature which was nothing like her character was portrayed for most of the book.Overall, it was a pretty good read.
