I was a bit indecisive with my rating for this book. I was initially thinking a 2.5, then thought a bit more about the book and changed it to a 3 but I did enjoy the Epilogue so I bumped it up to a 3.5.Jennifer is a widow and her daughter Bailey is off at college. It was always her dream to live in the mountains of Colorado so she makes a decision to pack up and move to Crested Butte Colorado to start a new life working as a Entertainment reporter at Gunnison Times.Jack is the sexy, hot, overbearing Sheriff. He has had many women in his life but he hasn't been able to find that one woman for him. One that will take him as he is and not try to change him.After being in Crested Butte for a few months Jennifer stumbles upon a different type of story. Women have been murdered and there is a crazy psycho killer on the loose. Jennifer and her group of friends decide they are going to do their own investigation which makes Jack mad as hell.Neither one anticipate the type of connection they make; Jack finds himself turned on by Jennifer's inability to do what he tells her to do and Jennifer finds herself drawn to his bossiness.I'm not going to go into the plot but I will say that as everyone is trying to solve this mystery Jennifer finds herself in danger, in heated situations with Jack, coming up against some of Jack's ex-lovers and she finds herself falling for Jack.There are some twists and turns. Some steamy sex scenes and lots of bickering between the two of them but for me, as things started to unfold it didn't always add up or make sense. Which really bummed me out.I did like Jack. I loved how he was bossy, always got his way and was rugged and sexy. Jennifer, though beautiful and sexy, she also seemed a bit reckless and impulsive for her age.(view spoiler) But together I thought their banter was funny, they had their sweet moments and the sex was hot but not off the charts.I wanted to love this book more than I did but it just didn't come together for me like I was hoping it would. I guess there were too many times I found myself rolling my eyes and shaking my head. :(I will say I enjoyed the Epilogue. It was sweet. I was happy with the spot that Jack and Jennifer got to.
