Simon had a perfect life. He was a beloved father, husband, and a successful businessman. All of that changes when his daughter, Paige becomes addicted to drugs and is dating an abusive man. She made it clear that she wants to be left alone. However, Simon is having a hard time letting Paige go.

He searches everywhere for Paige during his spare time. One day, by chance, Simon spots her in Central Park playing the guitar for the money.  As Simon approaches his daughter, he is confronted by her abusive boyfriend which leads to a physical altercation. A few days later, Simon and Paige is a suspect in her boyfriend's murder.

A retired FBI agent turned private investigator, a hit man, and private financial advisor whose world will collide together when they have nothing in common. The novel had a few twists I didn't see coming. However, I am not sure how believable some parts of the story is. For example, the mother keeping her daughter's location a secret from her husband.  Overall, it was an interesting read and I will be interested in reading more works from the author.

Book Review - Bad Boy Rancher by Karen Rock + Giveaway

Photo Source - Amazon

Justin Cade is in a downward spiral after his twin died from his drug addiction. He lives life dangerously and is addicted to the thrill. Army chaplain Brielle Thomspon is trying to get a hold of her PTSD and heal from the horrors of Afghanistan. Brielle is trying to avoid the wonders and the heartache of life by spending most of her time in solitude.  While the last thing the two of them want to deal with each other and their own demons, could be the very thing they need?

The heartwarming novel was classified as a clean romance which had romance without the overly steamy parts. I found the main characters to be enjoyable and realistic. Both Justin and Brielle are flawed and want each other but try to overcome the obstacles in their "relationship". I enjoyed that this novel didn't have the type of drama where one person pushes the other person away but rants about why that person doesn't come back to them. A very enjoyable read for anyone who loves romance novels or a fan of this series.
