From the New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes the next installment in the Saints of Denver series.
Everyone else in Dixie Carmichael’s life has made falling in love look easy, and now she is ready for her own chance at some of that happily ever after. Which means she’s done pining for the moody, silent former soldier who works with her at the bar that’s become her home away from home. Nope. No more chasing the hot as heck thundercloud of a man and no more waiting for Mr. Right to find her; she’s going hunting for him…even if she knows her heart is stuck on its stupid infatuation with Dash Churchill.
Denver has always been just a pit stop for Church on his way back to rural Mississippi. It was supposed to be simple, uneventful, but nothing could have prepared him for the bubbly, bouncy redhead with doe eyes and endless curves. Now he knows it’s time to get out of Denver, fast. For a man used to living in the shadows, the idea of spending his days in the sun is nothing short of terrifying.
When Dixie and Church find themselves caught up in a homecoming overshadowed with lies and danger, Dixie realizes that while falling in love is easy, loving takes a whole lot more work…especially when Mr. Right thinks he’s all wrong for you.

4 of 5 Stars
I’ve been waiting for Dash’s story for a while and it was as emotional as I expected it to be. We don’t get much of the other characters from either series as this book concentrates mostly on Dash’s healing and fixing things with his family.
Dash is still really closed off at the beginning of the book and made me mad a couple of times with his arrogant attitude. As he starts unraveling the full picture of why he’s so closed off and untouchable we find out that he’s really just full of hurt and self-loathing. He’s been through quite a bit and never really dealt with any of it. When he does finally open up to Dixie, he’s a pretty amazing guy.
Dixie is full of life and loves everyone she meets. She always sees the good in everyone which is exactly what Dash needs right now…someone to show him the good in not only the world but in him. I love her spunk and attitude!
I have just a couple of small issues…one is nothing new – Jay is always verbose in her stories and this was no exception. There was a lot of introspection in this book which was repetitive so I skimmed a lot of that. The second issue I have is the way the book ended…it seems more like a HFN instead of an HEA and I’m not totally sure how much more we’re going to see of these two. I’m hoping we’ll get more of them in Wheeler’s story (which stands to be explosive).
Overall, this is another great read in a great series!
