The BookWhisperer's Rating:
Opposites
don’t attract. They ignite.
The
small Montana town near the Kooskia reserve seemed like the perfect place for
Juliet Montgomery to hide from her not-so-law-abiding family. But when her
peace is shattered by a break-in and threatening phone calls, it’s clear
someone back in New York knows where she is. It’s time to plan her getaway, and
fast—but first, she needs to tie up a few loose ends. Namely, finding out
exactly what the town’s sexy cowboy sheriff is hiding in his holster...
Sheriff
Quinn Lodge has enough demons of his own to know when someone’s hiding
something. Clearly, he needs to do a thorough investigation to uncover what’s
beneath Juliet’s uptight, city-girl exterior—preferably one piece of clothing
at a time. But when their chemistry goes from fizzy to full-on explosive,
things start getting complicated. How can Juliet stay beneath the covers with
Quinn, when doing so means blowing her cover?
Wow, Quinn and Juliet brought
more heat than what I was expecting.
Their little moments in the first book had me wondering if they would be
the next couple in this series and if they would be just as hot of a couple as
Jake and Sophie – they were hotter.
Quinn goes for what he wants
and what he wants is Juliet. Even though
she is hesitant about starting a relationship with anyone, especially the
sheriff, she can’t seem to stay away from Quinn or his family. The two strike up a deal – Quinn will let
Juliet stay rent free if she pretends to be his girlfriend until the election
is over. (But let’s just be honest – he wants
her so bad that he just uses this as an excuse to get her near him.) Their attraction is page turning and pretty
steamy until trouble comes knocking at the door.
I will say that during the
last half of the book, when the crap hit the fan, there was a time when I
thought this was the end of their relationship.
Zanetti writes drama to where the characters keep level heads and also
their cards close to their chest. I had
no idea if Quinn and Juliet could forgive each other for the lies and actions
each bestowed. They both acted so civil
to each other even though their hearts were breaking on the inside. This made
the book even more riveting because they had each dug themselves in such a deep
hole that I couldn’t see how they were going to get out.
