From the very beginning of this book, I was hooked. Each page had me wanting to read more and more, captivating me and keeping me on the edge of my seat.As the Detective in a small Montana town, Colt Fury has his entire existence turned upside down when the girl he is set to marry is murdered. After her death, there are other women who turn up killed exactly the same way. There is a serial killer on the loose. Colt, unable to cope with the guilt of his fiancée's death and frustrated that the killer is unable to be found, he turns his back on his career and the only people he has left that he loves and moves himself into a cabin in the mountain that he doesn't leave or speak to anyone for almost five years.The arrival of the Sheriff at his cabin close to the five year anniversary of his fiancée's death, indicating that there has been another murder, finally causes Colt to leave his secluded life and return to civilisation to face demons (and hopefully catch himself a murderer).Catalina Rossi (a former NYPD officer) is on the run after her best friend and partner, Frankie was killed. She almost came close to losing her own life that day, and the people behind Frankie's demise won't rest until she takes her last breath too. This causes Cat to never stay in one place for too long, or get close to people to ensure that her identity and secrets remain just that - a secret. Cat finds herself in a small Montana town, where she happens to come across a dead body. She can't help by slip into 'cop' mode, calls in the body and from here on out, things start to get more twisted and interesting.It's hard to put into words how creative and enthralling Danae's writing is. There is never a dull moment, each word keeps you wanting to read more and more, turning page after page. I had my suspicions early on in the book regarding who the killer is, however I was left doubting myself constantly - although my first suspect was correct. This book is romance, suspense and mystery all in one (with a good dose of laugh out loud wit) and definitely a book that I am glad to have read (and will probably re-read to see if I can pick up clues that I may have missed the first time).
