This story is probably THE best story I have read in a good long time. Instead of listening to my Kindle, I actually read it so I could read it faster. I started this book early this afternoon and I finished it at 9 p.m. tonight. I can't come up with even one thing I can criticize this book for. You all know when I put my crafting down to actually read rather than listen to the story, it is one fantastic story!The characters are well written and completely believable. As the story unfolds, you get to know the characters more and more and can relate to them as if they were your own kin. The author has done some good character writing as they all fit right into the local.Laurie Ann Dinterman is a bright, energetic, caring, police officer. She is an only child, her mother died when she was very young, and is the apple of her father's eye. The whole town loves her and she loves and protects them. She is all cop and little to no love life. Her main goal right now is her impending promotion if she passes the exams. This is our female heroine. Laurie Ann inherited her Grandmother's house and lives in it. She loves the older type houses and it suits her well.Wyatt North is a slightly troubled arson investigator who has been hot on the trail of a serial arsonist for the past two years. Wyatt is also nephew to the first lady. Sometimes this can be a blessing, and sometimes it can be a thorn.Wyatt was a fireman two years ago. He and his partner were called in to fight a fire and the fire cost his partner his life. Wyatt vowed to get this arsonist to avenge his partners death. This is our male hero.Both Laurie Ann and Wyatt have one thing in common. They are all job and no time for love attachments. Will this continue? Will they even figure out if they love each other? Read the book folks.The story is very well written and factual. The plot gels together extremely well. Somehow the author has managed to meld action, suspence, mystery, romance and small town life into one easy to read and understand story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.Mossy Bog is a small town with little to no crime, that they know of, until one day an empty building burns and they find a vagrant's body inside the charred remains of the structure. In walks Wyatt North, the arson investigator.Because of Wyatt's connection to the First Lady, and her calling Wyatt's boss and Laurie Ann's boss, Laurie Ann has been assigned to make sure nothing bad happens to Wyatt while he is investigating. He is not immediately aware of his Aunt's taking charge like this, but he soon will be. Although Wyatt does not realize it, he is immediately attracted to Laurie Ann as she is to him, but she knows it.The events that happen while Laurie Ann and Wyatt investigate, and try to catch, this arsonist and murderer are such that you really have to read it yourself. I don't want to spoil it for you.Towards the end of the story, as his search is coming to an end. is the most action packed part of the story ever. It is too good not to buy this book and read it for yourself. And you thought I would spill it.... tsh-tsh.One thing I like in this book is how the author shows, at the last 1/4 of the story, how small town people come together and help out. This is really true. Just as a small town knows everything you do, or don't do, small town people will help each other when needed.For those of you who do not like sex scenes, sorry but there are a couple. It's a romance guys. There sort of has to be a couple love scenes.For those of you who do not like blood and gore. A little blood but no gore.I only recommend this book for mature readers. I would say at least 18 and on up.Enjoy the book!
