3.5 - 4 Quirky starsI will go ahead and get it out of the way: Yes, there are KA look-a-like moments. Quite a few, to be honest. But I acknowledged them and continued to read the story. (Pressing forward)Plot : A young widow moves to Crested Butte, CO to purse her "dream." She has always wanted to live amongst the deer and bears and be a journalist. So, Colorado it is. Her journey to CO takes her into the beginning of a serial killer and her meeting with Jack Gunnison, sheriff and get it while he can man. She's feisty and hot; he's alpha, controlling and hot. Need I say more? These two click after 3 days and thus begins the life and times of Jenn, going to catch a serial killer gal, and Jack, a hot don't get in my business guy. Of course they are in lust after 3 days and Jenn is going to figure out who this serial killer is (even though she covers county fairs at the local paper.) Other town members get involved in this "hunt" and even though 3 bodies are found, the FBI "passes" on coming in to help. (huh?) Throw in a pervy mayor, a creepy killer, foul mouthed exes of Jack (they all felt he owed them more), some elderly folk willing to help find this killer, and we have a rather jumbled up storyline but also a funny one.Jack : I liked Jack. I did. He decided rather early on to pursue Jenn and knock out the competition and boy did he. He went full throttle after this brown eyed gal. I laughed at some of his antics with Jenn and rolled my eyes at others. He's a committed sheriff and this is why no other woman has been able to keep him. He is committed to his job. But he's going to make Jenn a priority pretty darn fast!Jennifer - Jenn was at times funny, at times weird, and at times, just plain ridiculous. Who goes after a serial killer when they've been covering county fairs? Who tells a guy she's just met that it is okay to NOT use a condom, even if she is on BC? She did seem committed to being independent and on her own. Kudos. She also didn't want to give Jack the wrong impression too soon. She was also aware of her own sexuality and not afraid to express it. All positives. But, there were just as many "oh good lord" moments as I read her character's comments.Overall: I liked the story. Will I reread it? Probably not. Would I read more by this author? Probably. Would I like to see more originality on her part? Definitely. Also, when the main problem, the killer, was solved, I kept thinking "Is this the end yet?" The twist thrown in at the end was cute but not earth shattering.If you don't mind a KA lookalike, give it a shot. Take all of the reviews, mix them up and marinate, and you'll probably find there is something true in all of them :):)Enjoy!!
