I waited with baited breath for this book to come out and was ecstatic when I was selected to do a read/review.  You will not find any spoilers in my reviews because it takes away from the reader's enjoyment.  I might throw a few teasers.  This is book #2 of her new Maverick Montana series the first being "Against the Wall."  If you've not read Against the Wall then you need to STOP right now and go get it fast.  You'll have until May 27th to complete, but I guarantee you will be done in a day or two tops.  And unlike me you will be able to purchase "Under The Covers" immediately.Under the Covers is Quinn Lodge and Juliet (Spazzoli) Montgomery's story and a story it is.  You have Quinn Lodge Alpha Male personified, ex-military, cowboy, Sheriff with PTSD, causing his violent nightmares. Very dominate, always has to be in control and just plain sexy.  Then comes Juliet (Spazzoli) Montgomery.  She makes me chuckle.  Brought up to always be a lady in her speech and mannerism's she's the one person that can really tear down Quinn's walls.  She too has a past she's trying to keep secret and start a new life. But she fears her past is starting to catch up with her. Thus the reason for (Spazzoli) you need to read and find out where this comes from.It is election time and Quinn Lodge needs to re-run for his position as Sheriff, and this time around he will have competition.  Here is where the story begins.  Just to lay some ground work for you the Mayor has been pushing his niece Amy on Quinn, which isn't going to happen. It is in the opening chapter that Quinn finds out from Juliet that she can no longer keep the gallery because she's run out of funds and is planning on leaving.  Since he's her landlord he strikes a deal with her.  She has to pretend to be his date for a fundraiser and his girlfriend for at least six months and can stay rent free.  Very very clever man.  At the fundraiser the banter that goes on between Amy and Juliet is comical since Amy has no clue she's being cut down/made fun of.The heat and emotions between Quinn and Juliet are definitely felt throughout their story.  Finally Juliet succumbs to the desire to be in Quinn's arms (telling herself she'll be leaving soon so why not take what she wants and have her moment of happiness) knowing she'll hurt him when she leaves and also knowing she can't give up her secret past.  Just a side comment, my fav character Bob from Against the Wall pops in and out a few times in Juliet's dreams telling her to give up her secret and tell Quinn.When Quinn one evening tells Juliet why he never has anyone stay over the night, Juliet then realizes he trusted her to give up his secret and she decides she's going to tell Quinn of her past.  But there never seems to be a right time.Her past does come back to haunt her, things start to unravel and fast and she tells Quinn about her past but not in the most ideal situation.  Do not fear the entire town likes her and are busy bodies with the leader being Loni (Quinn's Mom).  From Mrs. Hudson bringing them to her home under false pretenses (separate phone calls) to the town bakery sending over cookies with Q&J; on them.  This was so cute and put a smile on my face.  I can't give up detail I just can't you need to read this book.I will say the end of the book brought a hitch to my breath and happy tears.Rebecca you so did it again.  I give Under the Covers 5* and I can't wait to see who's story is next.  Will it be Colton, or will it be Hawk and Dawn.  The heat between these two needs to be explored.  I so hope Dawn and Hawk find their happily ever after.
